Frequently asked questions
What is a safe calorie deficit for weight loss?

Can I lose weight faster by eating fewer calories?
Extreme calorie restriction can slow metabolism, cause muscle loss, and lead to nutritional deficiencies. Sustainable weight loss requires moderate, consistent deficits.
How accurate are calorie deficit calculations?
