With all this talk about avoiding metabolism slowdowns by eating too little,
etc., I wonder...

I am 174 cm (5'8") and weigh 103.8 kg this morning (227.5 lb). I'm 49 years
old. I've lost about 47 lb over the last 25 weeks on a low-calorie diet.

Some people here are saying I should be sure not to eat too few calories or
my metabolism will slow down making it even harder to lose weight. A few
people are saying I should eat fewer calories.

here are a couple of articles that I found very helpful
