This whole notion that you should only have a small deficit to loose fat is flawed

The notion that if you cut too many calories youll loose more msucle than if you had cut slowly is wrong!

The notion that youll loose a heap of muscle if you cut too much is flawed. (If you get enough protein and dont do it too long youll just get fast fat loss results and save most of your muscle)

The notion that you metabolism will slow down heaps and ull get fat on the rebound is flawed, it will slow down heaps but its plastic, it will increase again as your calories increase, so long as you dont go on a massive binge right after the diet has stopped ull be fine. Gradually taper the calories back on slowly.

cutting calories that drastically is not healthy and will leave you training as if you're a car running on watered down gas.

You will simply not feel right.

It's a miserable existence on 500 cals a day.

Neither your mind nor your body will function at optimal levels. So then your giving nothing to your muscles to grow in your workouts with only 500 cals.

calories........

The problem is cortisol. All things being equal starvation dieting raises serum cortisol by 50%. Cortisol will cause your body to lose muscle. Thats what it does. Its the storied that signals the muscle to surrender protein for energy.
