Is There an Easy Way to Lose Weight?

Recommended Answer:
About 1200 calories a day.

To lose weight, you need to eat 500+ calories less that what you would need to maintain your current weight. Say you need 2200 calories a day to maintain your current weight. That means because you need to eat at least 500 calories less, you can still eat up to 1700 calories and lose weight. Obviously, the less calories you eat, the more weight you will lose, as long as you don''t go into starvation mode. For this scenario, the minimum amount of calories you could eat to lose weight would be 1200, and the maximum should be 1700.

The reason you should eat no less than 1200 calories is that is hard for your body to receive adequate nutrition from anything below that, and starvation mode will slow down your metabolism and make you lose weight slower.

• ive heard its 1200
• Don''t starve yourself, anything less is the work of the devil.
