I think the two confounding issues are:

1) The deficit math of 3500 cals works for fat. I don't know how many calories are provided if you're cannibalizing muscle? I haven't seen that number published anywhere

2) Losing 50 pounds is going to make your "calories burned" is probably going to go up, or down, or both, but anything but remain constant.
