Calories are not all the same, because we metabolise them more or less 
efficiently and therefore there's more energy left to store.  Nevertheless, all 
things being equal smaller portions are the single most effective way of 
gradually and healthily reducing your body fat.  Many of the eat only this, or 
only that, diets do not provide a balanced nutrition in the long(er) run, 
although they may offer less efficient (from a metabolic perspective) calories.

Less food over a year or so produces longer lasting results - use smaller 
plates and you'll get there.  When combined with exercise the loss is of 
course accelerated, especially as muscle mass increases (muscle has higher 
metabolic resting rate and you burn energy while you sleep! )

Now, given that we talk about diets here, what I need is to find a popular 
dieters' M/L in usenet to post for help with setting up systemd  or ipv6 
through ipv4 for my home network and then sit back and watch their faces in 
amusement!  :))
