eli5: Losing weight

1.10K views

I’m just confused on how losing weight actually works. So if I cut myself down to 1500 calories a day, I would have to burn like 2000 calories to lose weight? That just seems like a lot of exercising to me, especially because I’m juggling a job and highschool still. Could you guys explain it to me in a better sense?

please be careful with cutting down calorie intake too drastically, you can become ill, like have issues with your heart and hormones… i know it’s super tempting to do it all of a sudden so that you lose weight more quickly, but it is risky, so just be aware of that
