Eating more to lose weight?

http://www.active.com/nutrition/articles/eat-more-to-lose-weight-875082

Stumbled upon this article today. Wondering if anyone is doing this? I'm just not seeing the results I would like after over 2 months of exercise and calorie counting. So if anyone out there has tried this, what was your experience??

    Full of pseudoscience and nonsense. Starvation mode does not exist. Not all women @145lbs will have the same calorie needs (the minim and maximum they suggest). It also depends on age and height. Breakfast is not "key". If you want to eat it, great, but certainly not required.

    If you are not losing weight, the answer is NOT eat more, it means you are not in a calorie deficit. Tighten up your logging and use a food scale for everything you eat.

    The article is very weak. If you eat more calories than you burn you are going to gain more weight not lose weight.
