A member asked:
Could you tell me if i'm eating 1000 calories a day and burning 1000 calories will i lose 4lbs a week?

Unlikely: However it would depends on many other factors. Usually you can take in a little more than you burn in calories to maintain a healthy body. A 1000 calorie diet cannot be sustained and you would be better off with a slower and less drastic program for long-term benefits or may end up even much heavier once the dieting is over.
