Well obviously, you can only cut so many calories. I'm talking for the average person, stop chasing diets that you cannot handle and find a nice moderation point that will stabilize the weight you like to look.

The average person cannot give up pizza. Beer. Cheeseburgers. Spaghetti. Ice cream.

Yes, a select few can and do follow this lifestyle with great success. The other 99% cannot. What the other 99% can do, is cut back on the amount of food that they eat to a sustainable amount so that they still get the happiness of delicious food.

If you weigh 400 pounds, eating 1000 cal a day is going to take a long, long time to get down to a regular weight range. That's when you need to be talking to doctors and developing long-term plan, not chasing the latest diet that you think sounds good but cannot possibly follow.
