Eating 1050 a day? Is this okay to lose a bit of weight

[Anonymous]

If I eat 1050 a day for 2 weeks will I lose some weight? At least 1kg? I'm don't workout and go to the gym. I just walk a lot. I usually eat between 1200 to 2500 a day.

You can drop weight by cutting your portions of food down but eating more times a day. That will boost your metabolism. Something people often don't do also is drinking plenty of water during the day. That does wonders not only for your metabolism, but cleans your body too.

Things that boost your metabolism;

-oatmeal------------------Almonds(raw)-----------Asparagus

-Fruit-----------------------Berries--------------------Cabbage

-Green Tea--------------Carrots--------------------Celery

-Carrot juice-------------Curry-----------------------Garlic

-Sardines----------------Habanero Peppers----Oats

-Tuna----------------------Lemons------------------Spinach

-Turkey--------------------Oranges------------------Yoghurt

-Pork-----------------------Tomatoes---------------Apples

-Chicken------------------Beans--------------------Blueberries

-Salmon------------------Canola Oil---------------Cayenne Peppers

-Cucumber--------------Eggs-----------------------Grapefruits

-Jalapeno Peppers---Limes----------------------Olive Oil

-Peanut Butter----------Sprouts--------------------Whole grains

-Whey Protein

If you don't eat enough calories and protein you will start to look like a sucked up druggie. So if you don't want to look like that I'd suggest upping your intake a bit more say 2-300 more calories. If you aren't working out even just a little and you are depriving yourself of calories and protein you will lose muscle as well.

Also something that could hinder weight loss is eating before going to bed. Make sure you have a few hours for the food in your stomach to digest before going to sleep. And if you're like me and love salt. You can try substituting it with this stuff called NoSalt. It's in a white container with a small red and green banner around the name. Can find it at walmart and I think food 4 less too. I use it on my salad and it's amazing.

1050 is too low for pretty much anyone. Very few people have a BMR of under 1200 calories. Realistically you would be better off at like 1200-1500 but we'd need to know height/weight. Also yo9u really should be exercising.

God girl no! That's the fast track to becoming anorexic! If you're the average height/weight for American women ( 5''4 & 160lbs.) you should be eating a 2000 calorie diet to lose weight, and that's the minimum. You should also be gradually increasing the intensity of your aerobic exercise, and working out 5 x a week. So let's say 30 minutes of walking for the first week? 45 the second? Things like that.

Well, it doesn't fulfill the normal daily quota of calories you should be intaking. But I won't preach to you, because I've undertaken diets where I would eat less than 900 calories a day for weeks at a time to lose weight quickly. It's not healthy, and I don't recommend it, but it usually does work in the short term.

It really depends on your body type and your metabolism! I am 4'8" and 90 pounds. I eat 750-1000 calories per day and work out. If you eat less calories daily than you normally would daily you should definitely lose weight because you are putting less into your body. Just make sure you get enough for fuel so your body can burn off the fat! You also want to eat enough so that your body will not think there is a famine and hold on to as much fat as possible! That always sucks lol. Good luck!

[martyfellow]

That should work short term, but I don't know if you can stick to that for long. It depends on what kind of calories those are! Fat, alcohol, sugar? Or fruits and vegetables?

[HonestyInAnonymity]

You're supposed to eat at least 1200 calories a day, or you risk your body going into "starvation mode". Your metabolism can actually slow down as a result.

[jswag]

Maybe a little more calories to your diet will be better. You don't have to go to the gym to lose weight. A simple walk can be just as good with good diet to lose weight

[LoveBambi]

Maybe it's just me but that sounds like a really, really low calorie diet.

Yea, I reckon you could
