People are fat for two reasons: 1) gluttony and sloth, and 2) not all calories are the same.

Fructose is in everything nowadays. What is a person to do? It's not easy. Your environment is killing you slowly day by day. Satan is the god of this world and working through bad policies set by the government. The government usually does everything wrong. What appears good at first turns out to be bad unwittingly. The capitalist lobbied for these bad policies for profit. Neither socialism nor capitalism is the solution, but the millennial kingdom is the solution. In other words, a theocracy. And not any theocracy, but a theocracy in which Jesus returns to reign on earth with His overcomers (Jude 14,15; Rev. 2.26,27; 20.4-6) which will begin either this or next decade.

You must engage your free will to do what you know you need to do. And in order to do that effectively, you need the strength in your spirit, soul and body. In order to gain that strength the Holy Spirit must work in your spirit which feeds strength to the soul and body. How do you increase the strength in your spirit? Before you get out of bed read the Bible for one hour and read The Spiritual Man for one hour on the dividing of your spirit, soul and body. Most everyone in the world trying to lose weight are failing. And it doesn't matter if they are the least knowledgeable or most knowledgeable, they are still failing studies show. The solution, therefore, is not a matter of knowledge, but inner strength, and not just any kind of inner strength, but that afforded by the Holy Spirit if you are born-again. So very few people are even born-again so you can see why almost everyone is failing. Unless you are willing to cultivate a relationship with God through His Son by the Spirit in reading His Word, you will fail. And if you do succeed for awhile, failure is right around the corner study after study show. Sin is just shifting temporarily from one aspect of your life to another while never dealing with the heart of the matter.
