Yes: A low-calorie diet speeds up weight loss. If a person eats fewer calories than she needs to live on each day, her body will use the stored fuel (fat). If a person exercises more than she did before, but does not start eating more calories, then her body will also use up the stored fat. That said, a middle-aged adult with unexplained weight loss should see her doctor to make sure things are ok.
