Eat a balanced diet of 1,200 calories per day; the keyword being balanced -- a proper mix of protein, carbs, and vegetables - with minimal fat and sugar. Sugar you can live without, and should - if at all possible. NOTE: Fruit and juice IS sugar. One piece of fruit per day is plenty if you're eating your green veggies.
Whenever I've decided to lose 10-20 pounds, I stick with 8,400 calories per week (so it evens out to 1,200 calories per day.) Why? It's easier to stick in something that you really LOVE during your week and deduct those calories the next day (or two) and thus, you don't feel deprived. It helps you stick with the plan!
After desired weight loss, you can use this method to maintain -- raising your daily caloric level to match your current weight.
Forget "diets" and make this a lifestyle and you'll be one happy, trim camper! :)
How many calories should you eat per day if you are 5'1 and weight 150 pounds and are trying to lose weight?
* yes about 5 pounds This is wrong. There are 3500 calories in a pound. You must "lose" 3500 calories through diet or exercise to lose 1 pound. It would take a reduction of 17,500 calories to lose 5 pounds.
To lose one solid pound of weight, you need to burn 3,500 more calories to consume. Then, to lose 52 solid pounds of weight, you would need to burn 182,000 calories.
Yes, it is possible to lose weight without being on a diet. To lose weight, you must use more calories then you consume, generally 500 calories to lose 2 pounds a week. Staying active will burn more calories.
2 pounds if you do not increase your activity level. For every 3500 calories you will lose one pound.
less than 95 pounds because 2000 calories maintains your weight less calories lets you lose weight more calories lets you gain weight
It depends on your metabolism and how many calories you're currently intaking, and how much weight you want to lose. Please visit the related links.
depending on how active you are and how much you want to lose a week would help. there are 3600 calories in a pound so if you cut out a 1000 calories a day you will lose about 2 pounds a week without exercising. So if you eat about 1200 calories a day and work out to burn about 300 calories a day you will lose 2-3lbs a week.
about 1'300
It will depend on your current weight. A person weighing 300 pounds may be able to consume over 2000 calories and still lose significant weight while a person weighing 150 pounds may be limited to 1500 calories/day to lose.
