No - I think it would be very damaging.
I don't know how you've decided your calorie count or whether you have professional advice.
I like "The Fast 800" diet by Dr Michael Mosley
thefast800.com
It's based on the latest research in nutritional science.
It's fully tested with excellent results for. all kinds of people.
It has free access to a social site for fellow dieters giving each other support, extra recipes and tips.
It's based on moderation and adapts easily to your life.
I find the based way to deal with the desire to eat more than I should is to have a glass of water and then get working or busy. Distraction is the key.
I've been losing a kilo a week. I'm now at the upper limit of the normal weight for my height - but I'll keep going till I'm exactly in the middle of the healthy range. Then I'll drop from 2 to 1 day of fasting per week - for maintenance for the rest of my life.
I do find that moderate exercise helps (interval training, swimming and yoga)- not so much for the weight loss (the diet does that) - but for the added sense of well-being, energy, flexibility, and to reduce the risks of pulled muscles.
