Yes.: But not forever. Very low calorie diets will shut your metabolism down. Get plenty of protein in the calories you are eating!

Yes, but: Not all calories are the same. It's different to get calories from nuts (good) than to get calories from pasta (bad, ) so eat more nuts and fruits and you should do fine.

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?
