This five minute clip is taken from a conversation I had with Registered Dietician Adam Lawrence.  Adam educates me on the potential consequences of cutting too many calories too fast.  We discuss these consequences from both a behavioral stand point (sustainable habit building) and from a physiological stand point (harming your bodies metabolic rate).  The recommendation is that a gradual decrease of 200-300 calories can lead to better results in the long term.  However, we acknowledge that this may be counterintuitive and may not feel as productive as a a more drastic cut.
