http://homefirst.com/ Health and nutrition organisations have perpetuated the myth that a reduction of food intake of 2 MJ ( about 500 calories) per day will lead to a steady rate of weight loss of 0•5 kg ( about 1lb.)per week. Because this static weight-loss rule does not account for dynamic physiological adaptations that occur with decreased bodyweight, its widespread use at both the individual and population levels has led to drastically overestimated expectations for weight loss.

A pound of muscle burns 35 calories per what? Per hour? Per day? In sleep or activity?
