    The theory suggests that, if I were to cut my calories by 500kcals per day, say from 2000 to 1500kcal (more than what most modern day diets recommend), I would lose 1lb (of pure fat) per week


    Stopped reading there. No one in their right mind thinks you've lost 1 lb of pure fat. Its a combination of lean mass AND fat, which is the whole point of strength training while you are trying to lose weight. That blog is full of inaccuracies.

    Lol. That is not why I'm here. I'm here for cat gifs and snark. This thread mostly delivers.
