A member asked:
If i only ate 1200 cals a day, would you be able to see a change of weight loss within a week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Upon your body's caloric expenditure which is a combination of your basic inherent calorie burning plus exercise. The taller you are the more calories you expend just being alive. You would not, however, expect to see a weight loss of even one pound in that short a time, particularly if you were short.
