What's so hard to understand???
A calorie IS a calorie if you are looking to simply lose weight. In other words, if you want to lose 30 pounds in 2-3 months, make sure to only eat 1000 calories or less per day, regardless of what you eat. Doing this, you will lose a lot of weight, but your body composition will look shitty.
A calorie IS not a calorie if you want to actually look slim and muscular. If you consume a decent amount of protein, fats & carbs, all the while maintaining a caloric deficit under 1000 calories, you will also lose a lot of weight, but your end result will be slightly better by way of retaining more muscle mass.
The major difference between the first scenario and the second is that during the first scenario, you don't have to worry about doing any form of exercise. In the second scenario, exercise will make a huge difference.
What is the problem here?
