On a related note, has anyone found any studies examining how much your metabolism actually decreases when you diet?
I've been tracking my weight and calories/exercise for over a year, and I've noticed the oddest thing. I can eat up to 3000 calories/day with no exercise and not gain weight. But I have to eat under 2000 calories/day to lose any weight.
I seem to have this dead zone 2000-3000 calories where my body seems to set my metabolism to whatever I eat.
(Of course the math and statistics confused the bejezus out of me, so I may be completely wrong.)
