You don't know much about science, do you?[/quote]

Other than being a practicing MD no.

I can't help you if you refuse to believe calories that in < calories out results in weight loss, and I don't have the time or patience to teach you undergraduate physics.

The fact that there aren't large, well designed trials that show significant weight loss is sustainable over time in large cohorts is immaterial to whether caloric restriction will result in weight loss.  It just reinforces how incredibly difficult caloric restriction is, something that I and several other posters have conceded.

Many many people, myself included, have successfully lost weight and kept it off with caloric restriction.  As a teen I lost close to 60 lbs and kept it off until my late 30's.  I just turned 45 and in the last 7 or 8 years have crept up to 220 on a 5'10" fairly muscular frame.  I fully expect to lose 20 pounds with moderate difficulty and then expect it to be hell to lose another 20, but that will be because I am eating too many calories relative to what I burn, not because I somehow have turned into a perpetual energy machine.[/quote]
