When you take in more calories than you burn, the body converts the calories and adds them as fat cells. It can be terribly difficult to get the body to stop converting even when a person tries to diet, because the body can interpret the the diet as deprivation and 'starvation'.

The quality of the calories you take in and the quality of the physical activity that helps you burn calories also play important roles.
