You can and do change your energy expenditure, sometimes dramatically. I've lost 1-2 kg over the course of a weekend of being sick before, but that's just an extreme. All of "eat less loose weight" strategies work only if you consider amount eaten and energy expended to be independent. Which, to me, sounds incredibly unlikely considering how fine-tuned we are in every other respect. When all said and done, my personal weight loss method is still eating less: but eating dramatically less then normal for relatively short periods (4-10 weeks). I'm a bit scared to think about everything my body is shutting down in this time. For starters, it takes about a week for my brain to catch up with the changed diet.
