How effective are 500 calorie diets work for losing weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very low: Likely unsustainable and once the intake increases the body stores many of the calories. Excersize and 4-5 small meals with a 12-1500 cal. Total intake will help the metabolism and help with weight loss.
