I'm not sure where I'd got for professional advisement on this, so I've tried to educate myself via the internet and what I can find on medical sites and reliable weight loss sites and other sources.
Honestly, I'm not sure how the calorie cutting could be hurting that much, because from what I've read, you need to create a 500 calorie deficit everyday in order to lose one pound by the end of the week, and the recommendation for women looking to lose weight is a 1000 to 1200 calorie diet.
I understand how calorie cutting without exercising can lead to bad results, or no results, but I'm not sure how calorie cutting with exercise could be anything *but* helpful. I mean, that's the equation. You burn more than you take in, you lose weight.
