NO! Absolutely incorrect. You are both in err; you are both
making the classic diet mistakes; debiting your caloric intake 10%
is okay if and only if you are eating correctly to start with.
I guarantee that you will lose more body fat and be in better shape
if you increase your caloriic intake 10% above the optimal
caloric intake for your height/weight/activity level and run/
fast walk/briskly walk 1-2 miles per day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This starvation diet bullshit is why a) people are both unhealthy
and fat in the US on average; unhealthy because most people eat
ancorrectly and further exarcebate this by starving themself
on even less of an unhealthy/imbalanced diet; you might as well be
plump... and b) people starve themselves; after a week or so, they
can't stand it any longer and go into a massive backlash which
they gain every pound they lost in water, etc. back + additional fat;

PEOPLE!!!!! Wake up; dieting is not like going to a McvDonalds
and ordering a fucking hamburger!!! You must be dedicated, disciplined
and meticulous, period!!! There are many different types of
dieting, nutritional formulations and exercise regimens in differing
combinatins that can be arranged to accomodate the desires/goals
of the person at hand;

Simplest rule of thumb to follow if you are no intersted in complex
diets involving extreme metabolic manipulation, using ketosis to
your advantage, etc. etc. etc is to follow a 60-30-10 diet carbs:
protein:fat ration (typical profile of fda recommened type diet, etc.)
or an isometric type diet with equal carbs: protein:fat ratios;
debit your optimal caloric intake by 10% per your BF, bodyweight,
height, level of activity, etc. and increase cardiovascualr exercise;
minimum of 30 minutes a day; can be low impact; i recommend walking
or running at least 1-2 miles per day; if you do these things you 
WILL lose up to 1 lb. of body fat / week; no more in general;

ONE POUND A WEEK IS ALL THAT ONE CAN REALISTICALLY LOSE WITHOUT
USING DRUGS TO AID IN THE PROCESS AND MAINTAIN THE WEIGHT LOSS.
YOU CAN DEHYDRATE YOURSELF AND "LOSE" 10 KLBS OF WATER IN AN HOUR;
DO NOT BE FOOLED BY SUSPICIOUS QUACK DIETS.

If you do not believe the above advice, go the library, get off
your ass and do the research i have done for years yourself!!!!
OR go talk to a SPORTS PHYSICIAN/NUTRITIONIST, not a general
physician and pay $100 to learn what i just told you is true.

Good Luck.
