Tips on losing weight?

[Anonymous]

So I'm really trying to lose weight, and I make sure that I only eat about 1,000 calories a day (+exercise and burn about 500-600 calories, everyday). How much weight will I be losing if I keep this up everyday?

Well, I have never been big, but about a month ago I decided I want to get some help and lose 20 pounds just to feel more comfortable in my own skin. The diet that my weight loss coach told me to do, was low carb high protein. So try your hardest not to eat carbs. I eat a ton of eggs and turkey. But the main thing for me was portion control. I eat very small meals. My usual daily diet consists of Breakfast: 2 eggs over easy, Lunch: Turkey burger (i get mine from trader joes) with a slice of cheddar or swiss on top, and for dinner I usually eat chicken or fish. REMEMBER: diet is the thing that is really going to help you lose weight. Exercise is only about 20% of losing weight, but I do try to get to the gym about 3 times a week and do cardio and some weight lifting. I have lost 15 pounds so far, 5 more to go! Hope I helped. I am a huge health maniac and love to talk about it :)

oh, another tip is always log your meals! I use the app "myfitnesspal". It tells you how many calories you are eating, and when you write your calories down it really makes you more aware of what you are eating.

That is the amount of calories a child should eat. This diet of yours is not sustainable. You will sooner or later binge out and be fatter than ever. It's impossible to forever be on a diet that leaves you hungry and tired. Find one that enables you to eat 1800+ calories. Also, stop exercising like that. You will never be able to keep it up.

Don't do that. Healthy lifestyle is important. Try to eat as much as vegetabels too.

Dont be too strict with your diet - it is not sustainable and you will likely break it and binge. The recommendation is that women should not eat less than 1200 calories per day. Do strength building, especially large muscle groups like legs and glutes, as this will enable you to burn more fat when you do cardio exercise

You need to increase your calorie intake if you want to lose weight with that much exercise by about 500.
