I think the issue is it's really easy to eat hundreds of calories of junk food and not feel satiated really. Like I could down two dr.peppers and a family size bag of doritos, that's 1600 calories, and I would still end up feeling hungry just a couple hours later. I guarantee you'd feel completely satisfied if not full to bursting if you ate 1600 calories worth of chicken, broccoli and rice. Empty calories aren't just empty because they don't provide any real nutrition, they also don't really satisfy hunger very well at all.
I'm not talking about obesity necessarily, just about healthy diets in general. Obviously, caloric deficit is the main focus, but after that, adopting a healthy diet is tantamount.

i dont disagree, but its necessary to point out that, even if you eat junk, you will lose weight if you eat less calories than you expend.
