How can I get the best fastest result

It isn't complicated.
- Your body needs a certain amount of calories to function. 1200 for female, 1500 for male. You should never eat less than that.
- Regardless of health issues from undereating (which do exist, and can be very severe over time), the vast, vast, vast majority of people who go on those very low calorie diets give up and then gain it all back. The diet seems OK at first but gets exhausting and unsatisfying, and when it ends, it ends with massive binging that undoes all of the hard work. How many people have you ever met who ate 1000 per day and kept the weight off? Probably none.
So ... here's the plan. Go to the MFP Goals tool above. Type in your age, gender, etc., and your goal (e.g. 1 or 2 pounds per week), and it'll tell you how many calories to eat. Eat that amount of calories, not more, not less. Just do what it says. Sometimes it's better to just submit to authority

Why do I feel like we are being Trolled?
Because we are. Click on his profile. Member since 2015? First visit 2018?
I was a member since 2011 first forum visit 2016, a lot of users don't use the forums or don't discover it until much later.
Not exactly a reason to presume someone is trolling.11 -

You could well be right. If so, I apologize. I'm not the person who originally suggested it however, so I'm not the only one who thought so.1 -
Can someone post the graphic about restricting too much and binging?
Because that is likely to happen if the thread owner restricts too much:
1. Want to lose the weight as quickly as possible
2. restrict far too much
3. lose muscles along the way
4. binge due to the huge restriction once the honeymoon period (where you say you don't need to eat more. It doesn't last)
5. regain weight
6. get frustrated and restrict even more
7. rinse and repeat while losing even more muscles
In the end you keep on losing the same weight instead of losing for good in a more sustainable, slow manner.
This one?

Yes! I never know how to find those graphics, and certainly not when on phone.0
