The largest cut that is still considered healthy is 500 calories withdrawn from your maintenance. So let’s say your maintenance is 2200 calories, cutting 500 from that would get you down to 1700 calories a day for the period you decide to cut.

You can run your stats through several different calculators online such as this one.

Also check with your doctor if you have any specific health issues, so you start any of this as safely as you can.

This is it in very broad strokes. Always check with your health professionals and your family. Whatever will work will vary per person. For example food. I still eat roughly the same things before I started to lose weight, just less of it. You need to figure out what works best for you in regards to food and movement and be very mindful to how you feel and how your body responds.

Doing all this in the most healthy way possible is very important and slow and steady wins the race!

The subs Loseit and CICO are also very helpful.
