Just food: Maca root is just another food. If you want to gain weight combine modest cardiovascular exercise, weight lifting, and eat more healthy food!

My calorie intake is reduced to 800....How to increase my metabolism?
Does someone with a high metabolism need to worry about his or her calory intake? I'm trying to lose that extra belly fat that cover my abs.
Ive been working out (boxing and Pilates), as well as walking for 3 weeks. Ive always had a very poor metabolism (or at least difficulty losing weight), but I havent lost even one pound. I am fine with slow progress, but not zero progress. My concern is that I might not be taking in enough calories for my size. Im 56 and 291 pounds. Ive been eating between 950-1100 calories a day. Thanks for your help. Nutrition concern?
What kind of diet should I be on. I'm 160 lbs. I've had 2 kids how many calories should I intake and what are good things to eat. I wanna b 120 again.
