Bluewire, you are correct, however, I can tell you that what works when you are 20 doesn't work when you are 40, at least not at a level you would want it to. Your body learns over the years how to handle things like eating light and being active, and those fat stores are dense and hard.

At 40, I don't need 2500 calories a day, my body will run on 1800 calories a day without issue longterm and won't lose much weight. Even if I raise my fitness level (which is already quite good, I exercise regularly), I might get that up to 2000 or 2200.

I would have to add a fair bit of exercise and eat, well, next to nothing in order to accomplish what you suggest. Remember, 1 pound is about 3300 calories. If I net difference by 500 calories a day, I would lose one pound a week.

I went on atkins, and I shed 5 pounds the first week, eating like a totaly pig (steak, salads, certain cheeses, etc).

For more people under 30 (prime metabolic time) you could just replace all soda and juice with water, and replace big macs meals with rib steaks (hold the fries) and get the same results.
