I understand the gradual approach is the way to go for most people. That approach has never worked for me, and I think it would be useful for MLYLT to take a couple drastic steps. But cmon, look at that picture. Cutting that isn't drastic.
I see it like this: to lose weight you get the ball rolling down the hill. You say push slow and steady at first to lock in healthy habits, I say wtf are you waiting for push the damn ball. With either approach that ball is slowing waaayyyyyy down struggling to make it over a 4k calorie lasagna.
