It could if you dont eat properly!. Your body needs certain things to grow and usually extra calories are part of it!.
However, calories are only part of it!. Eating your fruits and veggies and a well balanced diet is mostly part of it!.
If you truely need to loose weight that is fine, but make sure you are still eating healthy!.
Only take the amount of calories you eat in a day to maintain your current weight and subtract 500 per day!. Start with 5-10% of your body weight pending how much you need to loose!. Once you reach that, then reevaulate your progress and needs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
