Agree. Keep in mind that you can eat healthy foods and still be overweight, eating more calories of lettuce than your body burns will create a deficit that will allow you to be overweight. It's an exaggeration, but holds true to paint the picture.
If you have a weekly consumption deficit of 500 calories more than you are burning, then those calaories will be stored as fat to be used as energy later on. There are 3500 calories in a pound of fat, so every 7 weeks would equal an extra pound of useless energy stored as fat.
Say your body burns about 1800 calories a day naturally, you consume 2500 a day and burn an average of 500 a day excercising... That's still a deficit of 200 calories a day being out away as fat. In reality, 2500 calories a day is very easy to consume considering how we eat and drink around here, 500 calories a day is very hard to burn and chances are you don't do that every day of the week, and to too it off the 1800 a day naturally used by your body is probably very close to reality.
Diet is huge in achieving and maintaining your goals.
