He wants to lose weight and you think he should eat more? Really?
He was eating 1500 calories a day and went up to 2000. Unless he's burning 500+ calories more a day he's not going to lose anymore weight; in fact he'll gain some.

Maybe you should take your scientific books and look up with happens to your body if you eat 1500 calories, which is near starvation to some people, for 12 months.
Your metabolism and energy levels slow down.
People hit plateaus all the time. And when you're in a calorie deficit diet for a long period of time, your leptin levels drop. When that happens, your rate of fat loss slows down. So in order to bump your leptin levels, you need to periodically overfeed to facilitate greater fat loss.
Some people advocate binge eating at specific times, but from personal experience just eating around 1500 more calories during that time seems to do the trick.
This is exactly why I have always said its not as simple as calories in, calories out. There is a lot more involved.
Of course, you're going to turn around and now call me fat, and trump up the scientific research you studied at UofC which in your arrogance makes you smarter than the rest of us fat people who don't understand how the human body works.
I think it may be time for the ignore list to get another member.
