Jim Katsoulis argues against extreme calorie cuts. Instead of slashing 50-60% of calories like most dieters do, cut 20-30% from the start. It's easier to stick with and actually works.

Stop trying to eat like a dieter and start eating like a thin and healthy person. What's the difference? The amount of calories that you're cutting. Because dieters are so impatient and want the fastest results possible, they typically start day one by cutting 50 to 60% of their calories out, and then they'll bring their calories up once they've lost the weight. But this approach is so overwhelming and uncomfortable that it almost guarantees your failure because it's so difficult to stick with it. The alternative is to start day one eating like a thin and healthy person by cutting 20 to 30% of the calories out. This makes it way more comfortable and sets you up for better results.
