It seems to me that cal in/cal out is very tempting to accept for a short moment in time, but the critics are talking about how this does not explain weight loss over time, and they are losing their readers by not being very clear about that.

People are seeing the simple eat/work/weight off as a simple equation and saying "of course."

Taking into account that we all expect to live another day, what happens next matters. Your body wants that weight back. How much it wants back depends on hormones (insulin included).

If the body did not respond this way, everyone would be exercising off what they want and life would be pleasingly simple.
