You can have straight protein shakes all day every day and if you drink too much you'll get fat.

Yeah it really is ultimately about calories in/calories out --- but a lot of people focus on just that and forget about other variables like insulin, leptin and cortisol, which can have a big impact on what kind of body weight you're losing. I think that's the main problem....people just want to "lose weight" and they end up losing mostly water and muscle instead of actual body fat. You have to train your system to preserve/build muscle and burn fat, but most people I know get on an elliptical or treadmill and do weight watchers. They lose a bunch of weight quick and it always comes back.
