The Problem With Restricting Calories

The problem with restricting calories too much is that it slows down your metabolism and in doing so it makes it all the more difficult to loose fat. It is therefore important that if you decide to reduce calories (you still need to do your resistance training and interval training,) you only reduce them by a small amount at any one time.

Another problem with strict calorie reduction is the fact that it is very difficult to maintain for more than a short time frame. When you go back to your normal eating pattern, with your now slower metabolism, you will generally put back on the fat you lost and then some.
