I credit a lot of my recent success with weight loss to keeping an eye on my calorie intake, and have had no trouble handling the standard 500 calorie deficit that is commonplace. While I have been hungry at times, I've survived.
I'm considering trying a 1000 calorie deficit, and just wondering if there's any danger in it. It's quite a large amount - a limit of 1491 in my case - and I want to be sure that I can handle it. Today, I consumed 1730, and feel a little hungry. I'm sure I won't die of starvation any time soon, though.
Has anyone had any experience with such a large deficit? Any side effects or problems? Things I should be aware of?
