The average person needs about 1,500 to 2,000 calories a day. So 1,200 calories is a few hundred under that, but weight isn't really lost until more exercise is added in. To lose one pound of fat you need to burn up 3500 calories. How much fat loss that would be for individuals depends on their unique metabolism, the type of exercise they do (or lack thereof and caloric intake of food (a combination of protein, carbohydrates, and fat - each has a different calorie content). Some athletes need to consume thousands of calories just to maintain their required energy demands.

∙ 13y agoTo lose weight, you need to diet and exercise. The amount of weight you would lose would depend on many factors, such how how long / how instense you worked out, what types of exercsie you do, the calories you ate, how much you slept, and so on. A diet of about 1,200 calories a day is the minimum that you should be at for a woman (1,400 calories a day for a man). Any less borders on dangerous and unhealthy for your body. With moderate exercise and healthy food choices, you can loose a few pounds in a week.

This is gonna be harder than cutting back on food, but you'll feel better and live longer.
