Men det er noe helt annet enn å tro at det jo flere kalorier jo større vektnedgang. Da beveger vi oss over i la-la-land.

Forteller ganske mye om hvorfor det å tro at man kan kalkulere forbrenning er litt som å tro at man kan lage et menneske etter å ha analysert grunnstoffordelingen i et menneske....

Sitat:

2) You may have heard of the saying “To lose 1lb of fat you need to create a deficit of 3,500 calories.” The Minnesota experiment alone renders this statement invalid.
The deficit, in Keys’ study, started off at 1,640 calories a day. Assuming that the deficit remained at 1,640 for the 24 week ‘starvation’ period, if the 3,500 formula were correct, during the 24 weeks, every man should have lost at least 78 pounds in fat alone and more on top of this in water and lean tissue. The average weight loss of the men was less than half of this – 37 pounds – 1.5 pounds per week. If the 3,500 formula were correct, the lightest man in the study, Bob Villwock from Ohio, should have finished the study below three stone (he would, of course, have died long before this).
