The same way obesity is a problem.

The rules are simple:

- don't eat unless you're hungry

- don't eat more calories than you expend. That's a general rule of health. As soon as you have an overage your whole goal should be getting that cleared up as fast as possible

- calories are only a tool to fuel your body. so don't eat them if you don't need them.

The overabundance of unhealthy but relatively cheap food that makes people fat and the abundance of large unsecured credit at high interest is actually a pretty good comparison.
