What happens if I eat a very high-calorie diet?

The exact number of calories you need to eat daily to maintain (rather than lose or gain) your current weight depends in great part on how active you are -- very active people can consume many more calories without gaining weight. However, if you habitually consume more calories than your body can burn off, you will gain weight, and may become obese. Complications from obesity include high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, cancer and degenerative arthritis.
