Hi! Yes, eating 800–1,000 calories a day will most likely result in weight loss—but this approach can be harmful for your body in the long run. Rapid weight loss through extreme calorie restriction may cause:
Weakness and fatigue
Hair fall, dull skin, and hormonal imbalance
Muscle loss instead of fat loss
Slower metabolism, making it harder to maintain weight later
I want you to lose those 10 kg the healthy and sustainable way—without starving yourself or damaging your health.
Next Steps
With a balanced, calorie-controlled meal plan, combined with moderate physical activity and lifestyle changes, you can lose weight while staying energetic and well-nourished. Even a 1,200–1,400 kcal/day plan can work wonders if it's nutritionally complete and customized.
Health Tips
Weight loss is not a race—it’s a transformation. 10 kg weight loss is absolutely possible—but let’s do it in a way that makes you feel better, not worse.
Let your diet nourish you, not punish you.

Calories will be decided based on age ,gender,exercise routine..Eating less to reduce weight will make you prone to deficiencies.800 to 1000 cal/day will be less and you tend to loose from muscle rather than fat percentage.
