Question

Iv reduced my calorie intake right down!! I weigh and track all my food. Sticking to 1200 a day. I work out 5-6 times a week. Hiit and strength exercises. But i cant lose weight??? Its been months now and nothing 😭 help!!!!

Answer

Bc you’re not eating enough calories to sustain your activity levels. If you eat too little calories, your body will store fat.

Answer

You’re not eating enough. 1200 calories is not enough food for a grown up.

Answer

I’ve been counting all my calories on fitness pal and i finally lost weight but I have to measure out almost everything to make sure it’s accurate. I recommend that app because I didn’t realize how much the calories added up. Also make sure you take pictures because sometimes the number on the scale isn’t always right because muscle ways more thank fat.

Answer

1200 is too low unless you are ridiculously small. For most women, 1600-1800 seems to be about the range for weightloss, usually about 200-300 less than your maintenance requirements, including what you need for exercise. If you get below a certain amount, your metabolism slows down to try and match it, rather than burning stored fat.

Answer

I agree with the others. If you're going to be burning some major calories you should be eating 1600-1800 per day. 1200 only makes sense if you're sedentary and not getting any activity.

Answer

My calorie count is 1200 but I work out for 30 minutes a day which I burn about 230 calories. So I add 230 calories to my total calories. So I end up eating 1430 calories a day. If you’re working out 5-6 days a week you gotta add more calories to make up for what your burning. You should download MyFitnessPal, that’s what I use to keep on track. I’m 160 lbs 5’6. Trying to lose 30 lbs. this has been working perfect for me

Answer

Eat girl 😜 I used to do the same but food is fuel 💞🙏 goodluck

Answer

Are you losing inches? Maybe measure yourself each week. I found a website online where you can input your measurements, height and weight so you can visualize your body. 
Your calorie intake may change if you account for your activity level.

Answer

You’re probably gaining muscle. ￼Muscle weighs more than fat. 
Since you exercise a lot probably you should up your calorie intake. Having low  calories diets cause your metabolism to slow down.

Answer

Since you’re eating so little your metabolism slows to try to store energy. No adult should be eating just 1200 calories even for weight loss. I know it sounds weird but to lose weight you need to eat more. Also depending on what you’re are eating that could also be preventing your weight loss. Strength training is really good for weight loss, I’d look into it and and do that 2-3 times a week(not same day as cardio).
