How long it will take to lose weight on any diet depends on the calorie deficit you create. One pound is equivalent to a deficit of 3500 calories. This can be created with exercise, reduction of food intake or a combination of both. A 1600 calorie a day diet, for most people, is high enough to keep you satisfied and energized, but low enough to prompt weight loss.
