What Marilyn says about weight gain

Marilyn vos Savant, who has the highest IQ recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records, wrote in a recent publication: “Our bodies are more efficient than we think, which may be one reason we gain weight: We don’t realize how little we need to eat!” (1).

 Most female adults only need 1600 calories, and adult men only need 1800 calories per day. It may sound like a lot, but it’s actually a really small amount of food. It’s great for survival, but terrible when we want to eat chocolate chip cookies.
