See I definitely don't see 2500 as a "reduced calorie" diet. Probably not even 1500. The FDA recommends 2000 a day for the average person.
It sounds to me what you're doing is just counting calories, eating healthy foods, and exercising. I'd call it the common sense plan.
When I saw the news story the other night about reduced calorie diets, I was thinking the extreme. All the people do is eat fruits and veggies, practically. They're hyper skinny, to the point where it appears skin is sagging off bones. I don't think you're on that plan, you're on the one that any doctor in the world would recommend, which is the one that works - common sense.
