While I had heard stories of this kind before, I had never actually seen it happen. And this represents what is ultimately possible if someone has the right genetics, etc. As such it was an anomaly.

Three weeks later crossing into Hong Kong I was stopped because my appearance did not match my passport picture very well. Not sure how much I lost, but it was probably around 25 pounds in three weeks and I was unaware of the change until the border crossing incident. After much discussion about the White Devil, I was allowed to pass. I was in my mid-30s at the time.
Determine the amount of calories required to put you into a calorie deficit to lose weight. Add calorie burning activities, if you don't want to restrict to diet/calories, only.
If the only goal is to lose weight, you can eat whatever, at whatever portion you want, as many times as you want as long as you are in a calorie deficit.
So I can haz bacons?

Although Calories do matter, they are not the whole story. . . .
So basically, yes eating less calories CAN work, but is not the only relevant metric. If you eat less calories but they are all carbs the insulin responce will cause you some problems with fat loss.

but they say "I want to lose weight"?

You can. However per Alan Aragon for MMA and other high intensity sports, carbohydrates will give you more energy than fats. So if you are in a self-defense situation, you may regret all the baconz.GrahamB wrote:So I can haz bacons?

I am not aware of any respected studies that show you can "eat" significantly "more calories" than you need" and lose fat, just because the extra calories are from fat. Per Alan Aragon in the video below, this would be false.
If you eat more calories than you need but they are mainly fats you may still loose body fat due to initially malabsorbtion and then due to ketosis.
