The 1000 calorie diet plan is a very low calorie diet and should only be used for very short period of time (1 week maximum) if you just want to lose a few pounds quickly. For most of the people 1000 calorie meal plans would be too low in calories to get all essential nutrients and will slow your metabolism down. On the 1000 calorie menu your body is likely to get the message it is starvation! – and instead of releasing extra calories will hold on to every calorie in your body stopping fat from burning.
And even if you manage to lose 2-4 lbs per week following the 1000 calorie diet menu you are more likely to return to your pre diet weight shortly after your 1000 calorie a day diet comes to the end. That is why nutritionists recommend aiming for steady weight loss of 1- 2 pounds per week and to keep exercising when on a diet.
