What if i eat 1000 calories a day?

I'm 15 and weigh 132 and I'm 52. Is it ok to eat 1200 caloires a day?
And...
what if I eat 1000 caloires a day ?
will I get sick or anything?

I'm trying to loose weight.

I really don't know because it depends on how your body is use to what you eat!! If your on a diet AND EVEN IF your NOT your REALLY SUPPOSED to eat about 2,000 calories a day!!

I love these questions!!! haha, sorry... anyways if you eat 1000 a day you might feel faint sometimes or abit sick and down... My suggestion is eat the same amount, make sure they are good calories (ie no sugars or thick carbs) and work out to burn off more then you eat! its the safest and most rewarding way. the results will last aswell.

your not going to feel good at all trust me and also im 53 and I way 138 and im ok so were bout the same and non of it is fat

as most diets are '1000' calorie a day it can only help you loose weight. however - make it balanced and not 1000 calories of doughnuts or chocolate.

I suggest a 2,000 callorie diet and a lot of exercising. Its the healthiest way and it can be fun and creative. You could try playing lots of sports or somethign healthy and athetic. this diet could open tons of new doros to your life

#1 always eat breakfast- it starts your metabolism and helps burn calories
#2 It is a fact that it takes about 3000 calories to gain 1 pound.
#3 go to mypyramid.com fill out the info and it will give you how many calories and how much of each food group you should eat everyday

My nutritionist suggested I eat about 1500 cals a day to lose weight... so I dont think anything around there would be bad, 1000 is a little low though, your body will go into starvation mode and your metabolism will shut down...

 
At 1500 calories a day with moderate exercise you might lose a pound per week. At 1000 calories you might lose 2 pounds per week but you would have to make sure that you were eating nutritionally healthy meals and probably taking vitamin/mineral supplements.

 
How can I Lose 1 pound of body weight per week?

 
One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.

But it's not a good idea to lose weight simply by cutting calories. As well as decreasing calories you should increase your daily physical exercise. This helps to burn calories and build more lean tissue which in turn burns more calories.

Your best bet is to exercise, eat healthy, and calorie cycle. Always eat breakfast. In fact try to eat 5 times a day but smaller portions. By eating throughout the day you are keeping your metabolism high. Protein is really good. About 25% of calories from protein are burned off in digestion. Stay away from trans fats, saturated fats, and high fructose corn syrup (this thing is in everything so read the lables)

As for calorie cycling, find out how much you need to eat to MAINTAIN your weight. Eat less than that for no more than 3 days in a row. Any more and your body will adjust to the new caloric intake and your metabolism will slow down. Then eat 1 or 2 days ate your maintain.
