What you should do is instead of eating less you should eat the same but reduce meats, starches, sweets. It would be better to go on a raw vegtable/fruit diet. Eat a lot of food like 4 to 5 times a day small meals. Eat no less than an hour between meals. Drink plenty of water but no more than thirty minutes before and after the meal. And excersise.
Counting calories is not good either, so eat and work out.

exercise reduces body calories. it help nto burn excess fat.however only a medical doctor can really knon the amount of calories needed by your body. but i will say you reduce the amount of calories you consume by reading the calories content of any product of your interest.How do we define “healthy eating”? With the amazing variety in the bodies of human beings—size, shape, composition, metabolism rate, cardiovascular health, and so forth—what does “healthy” mean? A guide to healthy eating is different for everyone if you want to describe eating in terms of calories or food group servings or carbohydrates or some other category. What an overwhelming task! We can define healthy eating more easily from a mental standpoint: It must be based on freedom and flexibility.
Healthy Eating Means Freedom From Black and White Thinking
Artificial boundaries create problems if you have an eating disorder. You want to know what’s “right” and what’s “wrong.” If you could know how many bites of pasta you could have before you step into “unhealthy” territory, you would be relieved. There are many diets, drugs, supplements, and exercise plans that try to tell you where the line is. Good and bad. Okay and not okay. They tell you that you can be in control. But hearing so many different messages every day just fuels more stress. Sadly, stress leads to more disordered eating down the road.
Healthy Eating is About Freedom
The real question is whether you feel free to choose what you are going to eat, how much, and when. It’s that simple.
If you know that you have eaten two cookies, and you make a free and conscious choice to eat a third for any reason—how good they taste, how rarely you have them, or whatever—that’s normal. It’s also normal to make a free and conscious choice to stop at two cookies for any reason. Perhaps you choose to save the other cookie for the next day.
Your Body Knows
Your body will tell you what you need to know if you pay attention to it, and it can make up for mistakes on its own by telling you what it wants afterward. It can be difficult to trust what your body is saying, but you and your body can make a fine team.
If you have difficulty trusting your body, consider seeing a good dietitian or counselor

On an average the body burns about 3500 calories a day naturally. That is called metabolism. That is without exercise. Eating almost nothing is dangerous and destructive. So eat a healthy diet. breakfast, lunch and dinner and just avoid the high fat foods or foods with high calories and no nutritional value, processed sugar and candies. And exercise 3 to 4 times a week 20 to 45 minutes at a time.

Don't eat less than about 1200 calories a day, or your body will go into starvation mode and your metabolism will slow down. Any exercise you do under those conditions will not burn off as much weight as if you eat 1200-1800 calories daily (depending on your needs). As for quick burnoff, high-intensity aerobic exercise is usually the best, but be careful not to injure yourself if you're not used to it. Go at least 20 minutes at a stretch to get the cardiovascular benefits. Cheers!

remember, you need calories to stay alive. you burn calories just breathing and thinking. your muscles use calories to move your limbs, etc. use this link to get your RMR and BMR and figure out how many calories you need to proper health.
