>Most people can't maintain a caloric deficit

1. Do you have an evidence or is this just an assumption based upon your perceived "feeling"? 2. Why?

[PudgePacket]

1. People on western diets. This isn't some hidden mystery.. it's in plain view. Plenty of studies done, or just ask _any_ doctor that sees patients, or any of your friends/family who have tried diets. Or search pubmed for diet adherence.

2. Because their base metabolic rate reduces over time to match their new reduced caloric intake.

So no evidence, you just have an unsupported opinion. Cool.
