A writer asks, "I've heard that my metabolic rate screeches to a halt if I go on a calorie restricted diet. I've heard my metabolism will be 'ruined for life' if I lose weight that way. OMG! Is this true?"

The New England Journal of Medicine published a landmark study about a year ago of the longest, largest and most rigorous test of several popular diet strategies (low carb vs low fat, etc.), to see which worked best. The research, funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, showed that as long as people reduced their caloric intake, the diet worked, and it didn't matter how. All the diets worked, that is, any diet that was low in calories. A diet that was not low in calories (not calorie restrictive) did not work. The lesson, researchers say, is that people lose weight if they lower their calories. "It really does cut through the hype," said Dr. Frank M. Sacks, the study's lead author and professor of cardiovascular disease prevention at the Harvard School of Public Health.
So, let's be clear on this. The only way to lose weight is to restrict your caloric intake so that it is lower than your metabolic rate. It could be a goofy diet, or it could be real food in a way you can live with. Doesn't matter. Create a deficit of 3500 calories and you lose a pound. If you are a 5
