Question 1

if i ate 1,000 calories a day to lose weight , and now i start eating around 1,060 calories a day will i gain weight?

Accepted Answer

Don't count calories: Counting calories is not the answer!  The quality of the food you eat and physical activity is more important. You can lose weight and be fatter while gaining weight and be leaner.  Limit sugar from your diet, include lean meats (grain fed, free range, no antibiotics), eliminate processed food and include health sources of fat (no trans).  And exercise!

Question 2

how to lose weight eating 1000 calories a day and going to the gym?

Accepted Answer

Your question is...?: What is your question? A low calorie diet and exercising will help you lose weight.

Question 3

is eating 923 calories a day if i'm 130 lbs and 5'5 safe to lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Not the best: without an exam, I can only give general information, and while I can say that you are not fat, I cannot say if you are thin (depends on how much muscle). Your amount of fat at 130lb, 55 is healthy. A significant loss (20 pounds) is UNhealthy. 
Cutting calories by itself loses muscle mass, promotes a starvation response (lowr metabolism; harder to lose weight), and lowers nutrients/vitamins.

Question 4

what do you suggest for eating 200 calories a day for 4 months to lose weight?

Accepted Answer

This would be pretty: crazy. Your body will go into starvation mode then your metabolic rate will drop then you will gain weight easily. You could make yourself extraordinarily ill with this plan.

Question 5

is eating 1200 calories a day a safe and effective way to lose weight? if not, what is?

Accepted Answer

1200: 1200 calories is OK but not great for weight loss.
Please go online to "NuVal" and look at the numbers (there is 100 items listed with a score from 0 (bad) to 100 (excellent).
The higher the score the better the food.

Question 6

i have been trying to lose weight for a few weeks eating 1200 calories a day and working out 3-4 time a week for 60 minutes the scale won't budge?

Accepted Answer

Working out adds mus: Sometimes starting a new workout will add muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat and the scale does not show the fat loss. Keep it up and the scale should start to show your progress. Also take some body measurements like waist hips and thighs and see if they are changing as well.

Question 7

what is the best diet to do to lose weight  the quickest i have 50 lbs to lose and have been eating 1200 calories a day and exercising 4 times a week?

Accepted Answer

Is it working?: To lose weigh you have to eat enough of the right things, cut your carbs and increase protein..Drink water stop soda..We recommend you eat at least 12 to 14 oz of protein per day..See www.Weighstation.Net for  more information read newsletters...I would like to know if your way is working for you..I would guess not!

Question 8

help please! is eating only 1000 calories a day and walking going to make me lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Any exercise: Any exercise particularly weight training would help.  However a 1000 calorie-diet is difficult to maintain for long and thus you may consider a more moderate approach for long-term benefits. You may lose a lot (mostly from water loss) with this extreme diet but will likely gain even more weight after you stop dieting.

Question 9

im trying to lose a few pounds. ive been eating 1,300 calories a day but do have to eat dinner late before bed due to work. i usually eat a baked potato with rice. could eating hate be causing not to lose weight? ive been trying for few weeks?

Accepted Answer

: A successful weight loss program depends on both what you eat and how your body responds. I would never consider a baked potato and rice a worthy diet program. A potato and rice are predominately carbohydrates and provide little in the way of protein needed for body maintenance. Carbs are quicky converted to sugar and either used or stored. Please consult your doc/and a dietitian for a proper diet

Question 10

i heard you should eat 1, 200 calories a day, and - 500 calories a day to lose weight. is it ok to eat 700 calories a day for 2 weeks ? to jump start.

Accepted Answer

Yes, but: There is no harm to restricting your calories for a two week period as long as you are getting sufficient nutrients.  Make sure you are getting the essential vitamins, minerals, fatty and Amino Acids and drinking at least several glasses of water to keep your urine from being dark yellow. However, when your body gets such little food consistently, your metabolism will slow down.
