That is not what any of the studies I have read find, particularly not past the short term: past calorie restriction diets is one of the factors associated with developing obesity.

Isn't that a bit of a truism?

A _past_ calorie restriction is associated with a _current_ calorie surplus.

Obviously if the calorie restriction were being continued, one wouldn't be developing obesity.

"Fork put downs" does not mean a crash diet or anything like that.

It means permanently adjusting your caloric intake to levels that allow you to reach and maintain a healthy body weight and body fat makeup.

If you're eating 6000 calories a day there is no way you're out-exercising that diet while working a full time job.
