What are the effects of a low calorie diet?
Well, it depends on what you consider low. A “low calorie” diet is usually one that’s 1000 – 1500 calories a day. That type of diet, if the right foods are eaten, will help you lose weight, especially in combination with exercise. A “very low calorie” diet is typically under 800 calories a day. It can cause nutritional deficits, fatigue, and a very slow metabolism, but is sometimes recommended by a Dr. to very obese people who need to lose weight rapidly.
