I haven't changed any terms, you added "for all people equally?" and I'm not sure what you mean by that. It's obvious the caloric requirements vary by individual and thus are not equal between people. But there is no magic starvation mode where you stop losing weight even if you are in a deficit.
I'm emotionally attached to people not using their critical thinking skills and thinking rationally, not about food.
- mistermann 11y agoThe change of terms was "calories in / calories out" --> "caloric deficit", which ignores the stomach's efficiency in absorbing calories from ingested food (calories in), as well as individual metabolism (burn rate at rest, efficiency of caloric usage). Some people can absorb calories from food more efficiently than others, one theory with some scientific support is it is due to different enzymes in the digestive system.
- simplexion 11y agoAre you upset that your wife is a fat liar?
- mistermann 11y agoPlease be civil.
- simplexion 11y agoWhy be civil when you choose to continue your denial of facts?
- mistermann 11y agoWhat facts am I denying?

Some people can absorb calories from food more efficiently than others, one theory with some scientific support is it is due to different enzymes in the digestive system. But that changes nothing. If you're a person that is bad at absorbing calories from food, then reducing the amount of calories you eat below what you burn will make you lose weight. If you're a person that is very efficient at absorbing calories from food, then reducing the amount of calories you eat below what you burn will make you lose weight. There is no difference. We're talking about a car that gets 30mpg and one that gets 50mpg. It makes no difference to each car, the only thing that matters is if you put in more or less gas than you use per day.
- leshow 11y agothe error would be system and consistent and thus irrelevant. it would just appear that you had a faster than normal metabolism. this has nothing to do with the fact that a caloric deficit will cause weight loss. you're moving the goalpost and talking about something completely different.
