I'm probably too late to the party here, but could you provide peer reviewed evidence about the long-term unsustainability of running a caloric deficit for weight loss? I would be particularly interested in longitudinal studies.
Also, as a follow-up question to your reply to /u/rivke, why make the comparison between 1000 calories of chocolate and 1000 calories of broccoli/steak/alcohol? Is it your experience, both in your own practice and in your knowledge of research in your field, that people's actual dietary habits reflect such a gross nutritional imbalance that bioavailability becomes a practical concern for most people? Or, put another way, controlling for bioavailability of diet, can't you lose weight by managing your calorie deficit?
