Drastically reducing your calorie intake won't do you any good. The recommended daily calorie intake for individuals who wish to lose weight should be around 1,200 to 1,500 0calories for women and 1,500 to 1,800 calories for men. It is important to consume enough calories so you can maintain normal physiological functions as well as a good metabolic rate. Consuming lesser than the prescribed amount will only slow down metabolism. This means that you won't lose weight like you planned.
