Is it better to decrease calorie intake gradually or all at once?

Would my body respond better to a gradual reduction in calories? For example instead of going straight to 1300 calories a day would it be better to decrease a little each week?

Weight Loss - Are You Fighting With Yourself to Lose Weight?

Recommended Answer:
gradually. doing it all at once is too much of a shock for your body. you''ll lose the weight, but your metabolism will slow down much quicker too

• I decreased right away and say the best results, try eating foods that fill you up, with less calories, like oatmeal! And special K bars!
• Oh child you have so much to learn. I am as well eating in a more proper manner to obtain the great body i wishfully desire. What you believe is obsurd. To lose weight you must reduce your carb, sodium and fat intake, not calories. Calories are a unit of measurment for energy. What are you going to eat? Those 90 calorie bars...little do you know those bars have almost 20 grams of carbs and sugars! Almost as much carbs as a banana! And that bar is probably filled with simple carbs! Honestly, you must know how to lose weight properly or else u will so no results
