I personally have lost about 75 - but that was fueled by a cycling habit. (FWIW any regular cardio helps big time because you can expand your caloric needs to 2500 or so easily and have a reasonable meal instead of pure leaves diet that leaves you miserable) One anecdotal contra-point for me - and this is going against popular scientific wisdom of calorie in vs calorie out is that simpler foods have allowed me to consume beyond the caloric limits. Recently I have been exploring this and my weight has remained in the 155lb range for over 2 months through vacations - I documented my findings in https://www.subu.io/post/176259843689/one-step-from-the-farm https://www.subu.io/post/176259843689/one-step-from-the-farm if you are interested! I am almost always feeling full and yet able to keep my weight stable. HTH!
