Keep the weight loss questions coming! I liked this one:
Question: k i am 5′7" and weigh 120 pounds.. and im trying to lose about 5-10 pounds. if i cut my caloric intake to 850 calories per day and i burn at least 400 of those calories off per day doing swimming/tennis/cheer/tumble, will i be able to lose the weight? do you think this diet thing will be effective? tips?
Answer: 120 lbs at 5′7" is like, the ideal weight for your height…instead of trying to lose more pounds, I’d suggest trying to maintain that weight.
If you take in 850 calories and burn 400 of them off, you’re only taking in 450 calories, which is *definitely* not a good idea. Your body will be deprived of the nutrients it needs to function. A good calorie intake per day would be anywhere from 800-1200 calories. The average girl eat about 1200-1700 calories per day, so by reducing it to 800-1200, you will lose weight in a healthy and effective way.
