Er, having calorie deficit is, by definition, the only way to lose weight. I agree that 1500 specifically as a flat target regardless of starting weight, gender, and height, though, could be outright dangerously low, not to mention unrealistic. Fortunately, calorie counting apps are good at setting target intakes given the above parameters.
