The reason you get weight loss is that you give your body less calories than what it is used to (maintenance calories)
Well, give me that much credit..

Quote:
After several months of a deficit does the body "think" that this level is your new maintenance calories?
How can it, if you are still burning the same amount of calories? Less calories than it needs to maintain?

It can make adjustments as to where it gets the energy to maintain bodily demands (fat, muscle, food straight from the stomach) I suppose..

That's where I thought you were going with that..
