I'm curious about how you think about sneaky caloric deficiancies and the CICO thing. I think the notion of sustainability is completely correct (intuitively), but I also get the sense that you also believe you need to be (are?) in some kind of deficit when actually losing weight, no?

I believe there are 2 types of balance where you can be in deficit: external (you vs. the world) and internal (energy your body needs vs. energy your body has access to, e.g. from food or body fat).
In short, to lose weight, you want to be in an external deficit but internal surplus or balance. Otherwise, your body will start conserving energy and turn down the furnace.
