Is this enough?

Question

So I recently lost 20lbs just by watching what I eat but I'm stuck. So new plan that I've started is running/jogging intervals on treadmill 30 minutes in morning, walking 30 minutes at night, and sticking to a 1400 calorie diet of healthy foods. Does this seem like enough to get my weight down more?

Answer

Maybe a net of 1400 calories is good, but if you're going to be exercising, 1400 calories alone will be much too little for your body. It isn't healthy and can actually cause your body to go into starvation mode and preserve fat. Just calculate 1400 calories + approximate amount of calories you're burning from exercise = how many calories to eat a day. And cardio is great for fat burn but I would also recommend doing even just 30 mins a few times a week of weights as well. It'll help with burning fat throughout the day as well as toning your body after having had lost weight.
