how much weight can u lose if u only eat 1000 calories a day?

Question:

Answers:
It depends on your body size, how much of a decrease in calorie intake, and how much exercise you do.

Other Answers:
You won't. If you hit below 1800 (depending on your body), then your body starts storing everything you give it. Your body is primitive and can't be forced to evolve in such a way. You have to take in enough calories, fat, and such to sustain your body through activities. If you don't, your body will do it for you.

The equivalent to 3500 is one pound. Find out how much your body burns a day naturally with your activities. Meaning, find out how many calories a day you need to maintain your current weight. If you are required to have 2000 calories a day and you are only eating 1000, you should lose a pound every 3.5 days.

You actually can make so you don't lose weight by only having 1000 cal/day because your body could go into "Starvation Mode". The best thing to do is to eat healthier choices, maybe bring down your calories a little, and Exercise. That's the surest way to lose weight.

Depends on your resting metabolic rate.

You can have this checked at any of the major health clubs.

A pound of fat consists of 3500 calories. If your resting metabolic rate is 1500 calories and you take in only 1000 then you are burning 500 calories a day. Times 7 days that is 3500 calories or 1 pound a week.

No Clue, I couldn't even eat under 2000 calories a day, I commend you for trying

not sure, but if you eat 20 grams of fat a day or less, you'll lose about 20 lbs a month. worked for me anyway.

You need at least 1200 a day just to maintain your body. If you eat less than that, you will get really tired and will start storing everything instead of losing.

Depending on your weight and age, it probably isnt a good idea to only eat 1000 calories a day. To lose wheight you just have to eat things with higher amounts of nutrients, and not eat untill you are stuffed.Then the amount of food you an consume will be less because your stomach compacity will shrink.

Not much because calories have not a damn thing to do with fat. Fat has to do with fat read ur labels and check total and saturated fat grams and lower these. Anything closer to it's natural form is best for your diet. And pork is the most fattening!!

a lot of weight. And yes my son does pet them they are safe to play with rats. You would know if you are the type of person who likes animals. they are friendly pets. So when I ask for advice on what to do do not tell me to do something harmful. My son is very much taken by them and they are better than hampsters. Hampsters bite and my sons rats dont.
