Why crash dieting doesn’t work
The slowdown in your metabolism that occurs when you cut calories too low is equivalent to about one-third of the amount of calories you have cut. In other words, if the average is 63.5 kg ( 10 stone ) woman, goes on 1,000-calories a day diet. Her metabolism slow by roughly 333 calories, meaning only 667 of those calories actually contribute to her weight loss. Cutting calories too low doesn’t work.
