Ok to sum it up since not everyone can view the vid this is basically what I PMed Disgusted with:
Layne advocates "reverse dieting" which entails slowly increasing cals to increase your metabolic capacity/metabolism. In doing so, former low cal dieters can in time maintain and lose weight at a higher caloric intake than previously before.
Layne gives several client examples where this occurs. An IFBB pro and a few amateurs are given as his client examples. Under Layne's Reverse Dieting approach they are able to get contest ready with higher cals than before.
He also notes extreme responders to 'reverse dieting' who after a contest... actually continue to get leaner while calories are increased.
