Do fixed calorie diets work?

Have you ever tried a fixed calorie plan just to find out that it leads to diminishing weight loss results?

Typically, a calorie counter will tell you to eat a fixed calorie diet plan (examples: 1200, 1500 or 1800 calorie diets).

Fixed calorie diet plans don't work because as you lose weight, your metabolic rate drops. While you may burn 3000 calories at the start of a diet, after a week or two of dieting, you are no longer burning 3000 calories. Now, you will be burning 2800 calories. A couple of weeks later, you will be burning just 2200 calories.

Settle for a fixed calorie diet and you are not going to achieve the expected results.

In addition, fixed calorie plans don't work because they are built around this wrong assumption.
