Answer

Try eating 1200 cals a day and cut out bread.

Answer

You'll end up gaining weight. If you start eating a higher caloric intake your body will hold onto the fat. You should just eat healthy and work out regularly. Weights, resistance and cardio. Eat healthy fats like fish and avacados, olive oil, nuts...

Answer

Also keep in mind that muscle weighs more then any fat. So you will shrink in clothing size but gain a little weight as you gain muscle. Also restricting your diet can cause your body to go in to survival mode and it clings to the food you do eat or it will start breaking down muscle or other proteins to survive. So up the protein you intake girly and you'll be golden 👍😁

Answer

Calories aren't important, its what the calories come from that is (eg. saturated or monosaturated fats, sodium, sugars and carbohyrates). Calories are just the amount of energy in a food.

Answer

If you eat too little, which less than 1000 calories isn't much, your body can actually slow your metabolism and hold weight because it thinks you're starving and needs to protect itself. You should bump up your calories some and make sure you add lean protein.
