I don't really want to be on a strict diet though for the rest of my life so I agree with you, I have to transition into something more sustainable, and once I can I'd like to add some weight training, like Azure points out about the muscle mass = metabolism increase. I want to be able to enjoy some food without ballooning back up.
This one is that low because it puts the body into ketosis or whatever it's called, so I burn 3-4000 calories of fat a day. So I never really feel hungry or lacking energy (unless I cheat). The result is pretty rapid loss too.
That's part of the plan they have anyway, they don't just set you lose once you reach your weight, they spend some time increasing your foods and monitoring things to see how it goes so you can get a sense of what the right level is.

If you want to get into ketosis, are you using a low-carb diet?
