> Anyone will lose significant weight on a strict enough diet. Unfortunately, severe calorie restriction does things to your metabolism

Who said anything about "strict" or "severe calorie restriction" ?

To loose weight a person need only regularly eat 100 or 200 calories less than their daily requirement. For many who are obese, we're talking about having one less can of coke per day, or one less slice of a whole pizza or less ice cream every day.

A severely obese person can perfectly well eat McDonald's every single day, and eat more calories than a regular gym junkie and STILL lose weight!
