The Matator Weight Loss Diet
This is an interesting review by James Krieger, RD regarding The Matador Diet and comparisons to a Continuous Calore Restriction.
Adhearance
Per Krieger, most likely on of the primary reasons is that The MATADOR Weight Loss Diet can be maintained is due the fact that individuals "know they only have to diet for two week at a time". This makes sense.
Based on his analysis, it doesn't appear that it is due Adaptative Thermogenesis. However, Krieger does not complete rule out.
Now let's look at...
ADAPTIVE THERMOGENESIS
This has to do with The General Adaptation Synrome. The body learn and adaptes to survive.
When there is a decrease of calorie intake, the body will eventually go into survival mode. It lowers your Metabolic Rate to ensure that you don't starve to death.
Periodization Strength Training Programs
The foundation of a well written Strength Training Program is built on The General Adaptaion Syndrome, as well.
The General Adatation System (Hans Selye, M.D., PhD research) basically determined when exposed to a mild form of a disease, the body developed antibodies to survive to any additional exposure to the disease.
The foundation of vaccines are built on this premise.
Based on other research and anecdotal data, Adaptative Thermogenics (The General Adaptation) is one of the fundamental mechanism for losing weight or gaining weight, if that is your objective.
Thus, when there is a decrease of calorie intake, the body will eventually go into survival mode. It lowers your Metabolic Rate so that to ensure that you don't starve to death.
The MATADOR Diet Bottom Line
As with many things. why it work is not complete clear.
With that said. Kriegers Summar below of The MADATOR Weight Loss Diet stated that it produced a dra,matic decrease in body weight and body fat.

Research Review: Intermittent vs. Continuous Calorie Restriction for Fat Loss
Summary of Findings 33:50 Minute Mark
Intermittent Dieting (2 weeks of dieting, interspersed with 2 week of maintenance) resulted in approximately 50% of greater weight and fat loss than continuing dieting. even though the total number of weeks in an energy deficit were the same (16 weeks).''
Adherence may be better in the intermittent group since they know they only have to diet for two week at a time.

Adherence may be better in the intermittent group since they know they only have to diet for two week at a time.
- Better adherence in this group would explain the more rapid initial weight loss.
- More rapid weight loss may increase long term motivation, leading to long term adherence.
- Weight loss in the intermittent group closely matched weight loss for the prescribed energy deficit.
- There may be physiological benefits to intermittent restriction in terms of satiety.
