A doctor has provided 1 answer

Most likely yes: It is impossible to lose weight if a normal person takes in more calories than she uses up each day. The extra calories are stored in the body. A person with a medical disorder can gain a lot of weight if that disorder causes water to build up in her body. A person training a lot to grow muscle bulk can gain muscle weight. Otherwise, normal people always lose weight when they eat less than needed.
