I want to be a pedant and correct that to "body fat" instead of "weight". A change in diet can stress the body into retaining extra water weight, causing a temporary increase in weight.
- EternalFury 14y agoThere are definitely temporary adaptations and self-preserving mechanisms that slow down the process, but the laws of thermodynamics still hold. Also, the calorie deficit does not even need to be large. 100-200 calories a day will already make a bit change in the long run. Part of the problem is that people want results fast. Again, faster than even the laws of thermodynamics would permit.
