Wear a heart rate monitor for 24 hours to see what your base calorie burn (BCB) is. My BCB per day is about 3,000 calories. If I eat 2,500 calories I'm at a deficit of 500 calories. If I workout and burn an additional 500 calories now I'm at a deficit of 1,000 calories. Since a pound of weight is 3,500 calories I'll be losing 1 pound every 4 days at this rate or 7-8 pounds a month.
You don't have to starve while you shed weight. Slow and steady!
