Confused on losing weight?

Can someone help me. So is it correct that if you burn more calories than you consume, you will lose weight? (Of course the calories being eaten are from healthy foods).
Because it was recently brought to my attention that eating only 1,000-1,200 calories and then burning around 600 from running is bad? I don''t understand?

Staying Motivated to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
You are right that you should burn more calories than you take in, in order to lose weight. However, you have to take into consideration that your metabolism alone burns calories (the amount depends on your height, weight, gender, age, etc.), so you could be burning for example 1250 cals from your metabolism, plus the 600 from running, and then only consuming 1000 cals., so you have a net loss of 850 cals a day which isn''t very healthy, and not to mention It will be very hard to maintain doing that every day.

• Doing what you''re doing is good
• No its not bad you just need to make sure you are giving your body proper nutrients and time to rest. You don''t wanna run 10 miles everyday you will lose weight bit joints will suffer badly.
