C in / C out is contributory, but the process of losing weight is more complicated than that. In order for the body to use stored fat (Energy) reserves specific hormonal triggers must be activated. If there is stress in any of the following organs/glands; Liver, Thyroid, Adrenals, and Ovaries then your body may not be able to activate the specific hormones that cause fat loss.

An example of this as was stated in the previous thread; True or False-Exercise Makes You Thinner?, the thyroid releases two fat burning hormones T3, and T4, but these must be activated in the liver. If the liver is overstressed then the liver will not activate these hormones. The liver is one of our most important organs and is primarily responsible for filtering toxins from our bloodstream. If the liver is not functioning properly this can affect every organ and system in our body.

It is important to note that excess Fat is a symptom not the initial cause of health issues in the body. What many of these diets attempt to do is treat fat as the cause of the problem when in truth it is only symptomatic.
