"The only effective way for weight loss is making sure that one's caloric intake is less than the amount of calories they burn."

This is probably true, but a better question is whether this is even important.

One guy said "it's a lot easier for a fat person to become fit than it is for a fat person to become thin."

Generally the press (and maybe scientists, though I'm not so sure about them) seem obsessed with thinness rather than health or fitness.
