This simply isn't true. Were weight loss that easy, there would not be
an obesity problem is this country.


I've been tracking my calories for years and I can assure you that 2000
calories a day will cause me steady weight gain even when doing hard
aerobic exercise (100 to 120 miles a week of cycling).


I've never lost a pound eating more than 1000 calories a day and
experiencing serious hunger.
