That is not a good rate to lose weight. A rate of ~1% per week for 3-4 months followed by 1-2 months of maintenance before the next weight loss phase is much more sustainable and you are more likely to not gain back the weight after the target weight is achieved.

Yeah its a terrible way to lose weight, that's why stickies on places like bodybuilding forums encourage a moderate deficit plus exercise to maintain bone and organ health (1). But it goes to show that with a deficit you will shed weight. There is no special sauce in individual metabolism that makes energy from nothing at the end of the day. Losing weight is a matter of thermodynamics.

This seems to be folk wisdom, but is it supported by any actual data?
