Why is it sideways?
Eat less. Run more. Or eat the same and run more. Not to be trite, but it's that simple. A calorie deficit equal weight loss. A calorie surplus doesn't. Period. No matter how much you run.
This seems right to me. Just be aware that this can be done without counting calories, which seems to me to be a way of turning one food obsession into another when the problem is with the obsession in the first place.
