I went into detail about the 3,500 calorie per pound rule in the previous video: The 3,500 Calorie per Pound Rule Is Wrong (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-...). So then, what’s The New Calories per Pound of Weight Loss Rule? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-...). Watch the next video to find out!

My upcoming book, How Not to Diet, is all about weight loss and how to break the diet-cycle. It’s available now for pre-order (https://nutritionfacts.org/how-not-to...) (!) and will be out on December 10. (All proceeds I receive from my books are donated to charity.)
