How much weight will I lose by daily workout for 1 hour?

[Anonymous]

I am 5’4”
I gained weight to 120 lbs
My perfect body is 105 lbs and I want to go back to it.

I started going to gym 4 days ago and I’ve been working out daily ever since on average for min. 40 minutes (not counting breaks) max 1.5 hour (not counting breaks)

I get 1100-1200 calories daily.

How long will it take me to get to 105 lbs?

Well if you are doing everything right and eating a proper diet then most people will tell you that losing 5 lbs a month is the healthiest and best way to do right and have it last longer. I mean you can lose the weight a lot quicker but it will probably not last.

When I was in my 20's I could lost 10 to 15 lbs in a week or two... I would just jump on the tread mill and burn like 2000 calories a day running, for an hour or two. But that's hard to maintain and it wears out the body, and as soon as you stop running daily then the weight comes back fast. If you are not running then takes hours and hours of low impact work outs... So as I got older I had to really learn better eating habits with moderate work outs.

It depends on what you are doing at the gym. Some activities primarily are for muscle mass, others are for burning calories.

Treadmill,
Cycling,
Elliptical

These 3 mostly.

Those are the ones for burning calories. You need to burn 3500 calories to lose one pound possibly a few ounces more. But limiting calorie intake is part of the lose weight program.

I take 1100-1200 calories daily. Is that a lot?

[jennifer_bloom]

If you reduce your calories you should be able to achieve in in 3-6 months.

[Asker]

Reduce to 900 would be good?

[jennifer_bloom]

You don’t need 900, 2400 a day with 45 minutes of exercise.

[Asker]

I eat 1100 calories daily.

That’s too low

Make sure not to raise stress hormones too high by going too extreme.

[Asker]

What if stress hormones get too high, something ad will happen to me?

Muscle loss among many other health detriments. Something like 80% of our body heat is generated by our muscles contracting, a textbook said.

Ice baths are good for fat loss

Go walk in nature, take some breaks from working out too much. Make sure you eat plenty of nutrients, eat whole high quality fatty foods.

Depends how much you eat
