How to lose 1500 cals a day??

Answers:
The only variable you can really control is exercise. Find a method exercise that you enjoy and do it every day. Build muscle. Eat what you want when you are actually hungry and stop before you are stuffed full. Try to eat a balanced diet, but don't limit yourself with a bunch or rules and diets. Diets don't work and are unhealthy in the long run. Only do things that are healthy and that you can do forever, for the rest of your life, like cutting fast food forever. 95 percent of dieters gain it all back in one year and 99 percent do in two years. Dieting is associated with weight gain over a long period of time. You need at least 1200 to 1600 calories every day just to perform basic bodily functions.
. Quite frankly, being a little fat isn't as unhealthy as being thin. Anybody who thinks diets or restricting food types is a good idea is uneducated about the human body. Short cuts do not work. Most of the weight you lose is water weight. For health, eat a balanced diet and exercise for the health and endorphins.
Your body has a set point weight that it wants to be. If you starve yourself, the body will fight back by lowering the metabolism to maintain it's ideal weight.
Calculate your BMR (basal metabolic rate)...but I'm almost certain you're already burning more than you take in.
If you're looking for 1500 net loss (burning 3300 cal) per day...I don't see that as healthy
Don't eat.
You don't want that big of a calorie deficit. Unless you are obese, you normally can't lose much more than a lb of fat per week without sacrificing your health. I'd aim for something more like 500 calorie a day deficit.
Not only that, but it is MUCH easier to stick to. You might be a little hungry, but not starving all the time and then pig out when you quit.
Pshhh if you're really aiming to lose that much a day you might as well shove your finger down you're throat and throw it all up.
