Overeating may be the big problem, but abstinence from overeating is not really feasible for most people (it's depressing, really) and the truth is there are better ways of tackling overeating at the core. For me the interesting question is "why" we overeat.
For instance by eating healthier foods, instead of sugars and snacks filled with fats and refined carbs, you tend to feel less hungry. The theory behind it is proven actually, because sugars and refined carbs burn too fast, leaving you either with an empty stomach that wants more or with fat deposits from all the food that didn't burn at the same rate.
