Not to mention that such drastic cuts would make you so miserable that you wouldn't be able to sustain them even if they did work.

Cutting 100 calories a day will most likely help you lose your 10 pounds in a year in a safe and sustainable way. However, cutting 1000 calories a day will not help you lose 100 pounds, unless your caloric intake is so far above your base metabolic rate (the amount of calories you would burn if you did nothing but lie in bed all day) that I wonder how you even stay get it all in... If you have too much of a caloric deficit (too many calories out through BMR and exercise compared to too little calories in) then your body will think that you are in a famine and will actually store fat more efficiently, so that when the food runs out you will be able to live longer. Your best bet is to have a small caloric deficit and to eat frequent smaller meals throughout the day to convince your body that there is plenty of food stores available and to reduce the fat it has stored.
