Nagative calorie balance: eat 500 less, burn 500 more?

Question
Tanya
I am having difficulty losing the belly that I hoped to get rid of before taking a holiday trip.
I am eating healthy,about 1500 calories a day,and I spend 30 minutes on my stationary bike or until it says I have burned 500 calories.
Since starting this in September I have only lost three pounds.
I want to try something more radical.I propose to eat 1000 calories a day,and increase my stationary bike to burning 1000 calories.
Will this work? I have heard of atheletes doing this before a competition.
After I fit into my jeans I will add more calories and do less exercise.
Thanks.

Answer
Dear Bud,

It can work unless you are in the metabolically resistance state. But even if you are not, what the 1000 Calories will come from matters a lot! For instance, simply cutting down on carbs and adding the same calories coming with good fats allows you for 300 extra Cal. a day AND you'll lose more fat.
