I mean no personal offense, but this is plagiarism. This is practically word for word (aside from switching out a word here or there or slight alteration of sentence structure) and portrayed as your own personal opinion on the matter, without proper credit given to the original author. Tom Venuto originally wrote about this in his book, where he discusses his thoughts on the same study, which I have linked below:

You can also just google "3500 Calories To Lose A Pound… Is This Formula All Wrong?" and find this part of his book. Please know that I have nothing personally against you at all or any problem with any of the information posted; I just feel that proper credit should be given. My apologies if any offense is taken from my post.

This explains a lot! Thank you for summarizing all this for us! I was quite confused about the 3,500 calories bit.

thank you!! that is exactly the information and advise I was looking for. I am 10 lbs from ultimate target weight and needed to fine tune my program and actions to get that last 10 off. I appreciate the technical details so I understand it better.

Weight loss gets trickier as you get smaller, you need few calories even to maintain and creating a deficit is a balancing act. It's all well and good to have theories, guidelines and rules of thumb bit we're not all the same. I know I would gain weight if I ate anywhere near 2000 calories and would only need 1400 to maintain, tops. Therefore I am not concerned about any mythical 'starvation mode', I have had trouble losing weight before but now I realise it was simply because, by following the 'rules' I was not cutting calories enough to lose any more. It's important to remember that they don't know as much as they like us all to believe and the numbers rarely even vaguely match up if you go by the widely accepted theory.
