A member asked:
Am i absolutely sure to lose weight if i consume less than 1200 calories a day? this seems a bit too easy.. i am currently weighing 158 pounds

THE : Question is what is your height, if you would be 5'9" now, than 158 pound would be perfect....So always keep that in mind. To lose weight you have to include caloric expenditure namely physical exercise...
