The only thing I would think is if you eat at a 500 calorie deficit over several months does your body recognize that it's still a deficit?

Recognize how?
I'm not sure WHAT the body does, exactly, when it goes into "starvation" mode (and yes, I know we're not talking about anything remotely approaching that), beyond the fact that it will start eating muscle if there's no fat to be had, or adequate stimulus to retain the muscle you have..

Also, calorie reduction will always work for weight loss no matter what the diet plan.

Yup, pretty simple, I agree..
The trick, in my opinion, is how to loose weight and hold onto muscle..
I should re-read Leigh's Fat Loss Troubleshooter and Metabolic Repair as well, and see what she says about prolonged deficit eating..
