Will eating 500 calories less a day lead to a one pound weight loss per week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but...: Only if you look at it as a math equation. In truth, there are many other factors to consider, such as your activity level, and hormone status. Also, you may loose muscle as well as fat if all you do is cut the calories.
