How much weight can you lose on 1000 calories per day?

Answer 1

If you are restricting your diet to 1000 calories per day, then you are going to damage your metabolism. (Depending on your age) If you do this, initially you will see a drop in weight on the scales, but what is actually happening, is that you are losing water and muscle. Now remember, your metabolism (the thing that helps you burn fat) is in your muscles, so if you lose muscle and water by reducing your caloric intake, then you lose the ability to burn fat. It might surprise you to know that anorexic people have more Fat than Muscle on their bodies. This is because they starved themselves instead of exercising to achieve their goals. So the fastest and healthiest way to lose muscle, is to eat well and exercise! You can do it!
