It's not surprising that merely counting calories has no effect.
The idea that all calories are the same is flawed. In fact, obesity is the result of the wrong types of foods i.e. sugars which are metabolised differently by the body than other types.
Sugar triggers the insulin response which leads to overeating and detrimental fluctuations in cognitive capacity and concentration.
What would be more beneficial than calorie counting would be dietary education.
