Won't work in the sense that long term, 1000 cals a day is unsustainable and is flat out dangerous to yourself if you're morbidly obese. You're going to get seriously sick, end of. Bye bye metabolism. Hormones will go bat sh*t crazy, rampant depression, no energy, no motivation (not even for 150 g's), you're going to lose your hair, you'll generally look and feel like sh*t. And this isn't a guy who can go hermit for a year, he has a public image to upkeep and a pretty demanding work schedule to attend to.
Jaime didn't get fat overnight, and he won't get thin overnight. 1000 cals isn't an efficient way of losing fat. Some exercise and a smaller caloric deficit will yield ten times the results long term. Jaime's BMR is like 2300 calories. Eating 1000cals a day is just a big massive LOL. Jaime needs to slowly decrease calories over time so that his body can adjust slowly over time.
The weight will melt off Jaime initially, that's a given as long as he's doing anything different than what he was doing. Let's say he is on this amazing 1000 cals diet from the get go....he's going to plateau at some point, progress will stall...it happens in every diet whether bulking or cutting when calories are kept the same throughout. What does he do then? Lower calories again? Cool story bro.
