It’s this repetition of caloric balance dogma that’s most unhelpful and unwelcome here. If if was that simple, everyone would already have done it. Appetite and metabolism are not that simple and continuing to insist that they are serves only to alienate anyone who isn’t already committed to that worldview. Nobody disputes that there are risks that need to be understood and addressed.

We've written this algorithm; it factors all the math and current research. Let me know if you have any evidence to refute this, or if you have any paper or mechanism we do not already factor in.
Other than this we've people already seeing benefit from our approach, just because you failed to apply deficit wrong doesn't mean "calorie deficit" doesn't work.
