Weight Loss Of 10 Pounds Over 3 Years By Eating 100 Calories Less Per Day, New Predictive Model Shows

The lie of the lose one pound per week by eating 500 fewer Calories per day was first exposed here, here and here.

Doctors and dieticians have worked for decades assuming that cutting 500 calories from a person's daily diet will result in a steady weight loss of approximately one pound per week, however, this assumption is incorrect, as it does not take metabolic changes into account that can lead to unrealistic expectations for diet plans.

It is, it was and it always will be a mathematical, biological, physiological and physical impossibility to lose one pound per week by consuming 500 fewer Calories per day.

For years, Fitness Watch readers have known this.

And at FitnessMed, for consultations and program planning, I have been running a simulator for about a decade.

Nice to see someone is trying to catch-up.
