It just goes back to where people think a calorie is a calorie. This might work for a short period of time. If you want to be miserable and skinny fat. Also, once you stop losing weight aren't eating ANYTHING, what will you do next? It's just dumb and unsafe.
Yea, especially with the media and government shooting nutritional advice out their ass- It’s their rhetoric that has doomed the baby boomers and almost generation X,Y, finally fats are considered good, carb cycling is suggested, and a calorie is not a calorie invented 300 years ago by burning our food. ;D Funny times.
Yea the USDA's nutritional advice is based on old studies taken out of context as well as commercial interests. Also the medical profession deserves a lot of blame for this..
The real problem in this country is that our nutritional standards aren't based on any controlled research whatsoever, only observational work.As a brief example of the crappy results this produces, the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP)'s first dietary guidelines to reduce cholesterol levels followed the low-fat, low-saturated fat, low-animal fat paradigm to the letter. The result: the NCEP I diet was the most successful program to date for raising cholesterol levels, blood pressure and incidence of heart-attack. NCEP II wasn't much better. They're on NCEP III and they still haven't based the recommendations on a single study.
