Could i lose more weight on the abc diet or by eating 200 calories a day and fasting one day a week?

Both ideas are: dangerous. Both are essentially starvation diets. You may end up gaining weight in the end because your body will catabolize muscle mass. This will decreased metabolic rate and you can regain weight quite easily.

A member asked:
Ive been working out (boxing and Pilates), as well as walking for 3 weeks. Ive always had a very poor metabolism (or at least difficulty losing weight), but I havent lost even one pound. I am fine with slow progress, but not zero progress. My concern is that I might not be taking in enough calories for my size. Im 56 and 291 pounds. Ive been eating between 950-1100 calories a day. Thanks for your help. Nutrition concern?

Can you lose weight on 1500 calorie diet with burger included with eating the bun . i can exercise and dont like keto diet or low carb one ?
Im 98 kgs &172 cm &trying to lose weight, but diets and intermittent fasting arent effective. I stick to the diets &count my calories &control my portions. I am not losing weight nor dropped sizes. I dont have any problem with my thyroid glands.
No matter what I do I cannot lose weight, all my labs are fine, no thyroid problems or nothing, I do exercise with a personal trainer, tried dash diet, fasting, low carb, EVERYTHING! My calorie intake is not more than 1300. Why I cannot lose weight?
