I would like to give you a succinct answer, but I am not as well spoken as Robert Lustig, MD, a Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology at University of California, San Francisco, and the author of Fat Chance: Beating the Odds against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease.

That video you linked is focusing more on "health" than "weight loss", which should be considered different. If there's somewhere in that 1:40:00 long video that he says calorie counting doesn't work, please time-stamp it.

Counting calories itself is an exercise in accounting. How would it help with weight loss?

try out my earlier comment "Try Calculating your TDEE (at sedentary) and eating 500 calories (accurately) below it for 12 weeks and come back, you'll weigh 12lbs less. I don't think that's a red herring."

Get back to me in 12 weeks.
