People always say that you will lose muscle if you eat under 1000 calories a day, but I heard this was because you most likely won’t be getting enough protein and so your body has to break down muscle to get the rest of this protein. What would happen if I ate about 700 calories a day, but got all of my nutrients (with the help of a multivitamin and 1 slimfast a day) and got my recommended daily protein allowance (about 70 grams). I’ve planned out meals and it looks as though I’d end up with roughly 70 grams of protein a day, 75 grams of carbs a day and less than 20 grams of fat a day. Because I’m eating a high protein, low/moderate carb, low fat diet and getting all my nutrients, would my body still break down muscle. I would also be doing 1 and 1/2 hours of cardio a day and 30 minutes of weight training 3 times a week. BTW, I tried eating like this today to see how I would feel and I felt completely full all day, I think because I was eating so much protein and fiber. Also, if I do this, how much weight would I lose in 1 month? Thanks.

I recently lost 22 lbs. by cutting calories and working out. Now that I’ve lost the weight I want to keep it off, but I want to stay healthy and not go overboard. I am 5′ 7” and went from weighing 160 to 138. I was probably consuming around 3,500- 4,000 calories a day and working out for 30 minutes three times a week. I don’t count calories, but I know that I am eating much less than I was. I am careful about how much I fill my plate and don’t go back for seconds. I also cut out evening snacks ( I used to eat a lot of popcorn and ice cream). My guess would be that I’m consuming around 1,500- 1,800 calories a day now. I do aerobic exercises for 30-45 minutes every morning, then 10-15 minutes on my eliptical mid-day, and 10-20 minutes in the evening either on the eliptical or another aerobic exercise (30 minutes if I have a small snack after dinner). I exercise 6 days a week. Am I overdoing it? I feel that I need to consume more calories, at least 2,200, but if I eat more than I am eating now, I put on weight quickly. I also can’t skip a day of exercising or I put on weight quickly. I want to be healthy, but my family is starting to worry about me exercising so much. I’ve always eaten a low-fat diet, and I am trying to watch my sugar intake as well, otherwise, I haven’t changed WHAT I eat hardly at all. I just eat less of it.
I have been trying to lose this weight for 7 years, I don’t lose weight easily. I don’t want it to come back, but I want to be healthy. Is there anything I need to change? Thank you for your input!

I’ve been eating 1200 calories a day (consisting of healthy, low fat, low sugar things) and working out on an elliptical for roughly 30 minutes 5 days a week. How much weight can I expect to lose in 4 months?
haha, yes it’s me in the "avatar," but you’d be surprised by how much I weigh : / lol… I am losing weight in a healthy manner but I just wanted some estimates as to how much I could expect to lose according to what I was doing.

I belong to a gym and normally go to the gym at least 4-5 times a week. At this point I already lost 30 pounds. However, I have noticed recently it has been two weeks and I am in a yoyo stage again.. What do I need to do? I have cardio for a minimum of 30 minutes and still do bike or play tennis for an hour or so. I am on a low cholesterol / low fat diet.. What should I do next?
