No. Reducing your calorie intake too much puts your body into starvation mode causing you to hold on to food you injest; and it's really not healthy.

Take your current weight, add a zero to the end of your weight, then deduct 500. The result is the maximum number of calories you should consume per day in order to lose 1 pound per week. (There are 3,500 calories per pound. 3,500/7=500) for example: you weigh 180 pounds. You add a zero to make 1800. Deduct 500, this means your maximum daily caloric intake is 1300. Your minimum daily caloric intake should never go below 1200 per day.

What is the calorie intake number allowing you to lose weight quicker?
Simply, less than you use! However this makes it difficult to calculate, since it is on an individual basis. I recommend using a basal metabolic rate calculator to figure out how many calories you use by simply being alive. Then add the calories used in any exercises you do for the day. This will roughly equal your caloric needs. Recommendations for how many calories below your caloric needs you should consume to lose weight vary, ranging from 250 to 500 calories.

Typically, the average adult must consume 2000-2300 calories a day to maintain current or static weight. To reduce weight, decrease caloric intake and increase physical activity. Something as simple as walking a mile a day can make a huge difference, and it takes only about twenty to thirty minutes to walk a mile at a moderate pace. The time will lessen the more often you do it and as your physical condition improves. With time, increase the distance and try to reduce the time for greater results. However never try to reduce caloric intake below 1500 calories per day without medical supervision.
