Although, I have to admit that Newman and Chris Mohr have me rethinking things, caloric deficit wise, for obese people. It took me going back into my memory a few years...
Newman and Chris both site good results using pretty low calories in heavier people, but I think that's more for people just starting out, who are heavy, but not particularly active.
I remember always eating a pretty decent amount of food, even when I was 235. But, in reality, when I started dieting with CalorieKing.com, I plugged in the numbers. Did zero exercise. Ate the amounts the recommended, which was only 1600-1700 calories.
Seems so low, now. But, it was doable, but when, after a couple of weeks, I added in exercise and added those calories in, too, it was better for me. Then, I kept going!
So, I ate more, kept the overall deficit about the same and was a happier dieter.
