   Chances are with the lower caloric intake, your body metabolism has slowed down, making it hold onto the weight……>

   Sometimes, specially women hit that plateau of weight loss with calorie deficiency……..>

   I would recommend raising your caloric intake to around 2000 with lean meats and vegetables and some smart carbs….This will raise your metabolism, you will have lots of energy for your work out and burn more fat……..>

   Stay away from breads and crackers. Fruits are good, but keep them to a minimum. Low/no fat milk, absolutely NO fruit juices…….>

   Don’t follow any advice that’ll turn up here about faddy diets, instant results, home remedies, Chinese herbal stuff or whatever.

   Find your local slimming class and they’ll advise what’s best for you. Generally, men trying to lose weight should be around 1200 calories a day, women around 1100, but much depends on how big you are to start.

   go to http://www.myallie.com its free and they give u all the answers as far as that stuff goes! They go by ur height weight age and sex to determine ur personal diet! plus if u take the alli (like i am it increases ur weight loss by 50 %) as long as u follow directions well there will be no problems! I have been taking it for almost 3 months now and have lost 20 lbs! i just had a baby 8 months ago so i know how hard it is to lose weight! this is the first diet pill to be approved by the fda and it its not expensive if u go to target or walmart just get the starter kit its 25 bucks and sooo worth it! I promise you that this will work! my doctor is against diet pills but told me that this one he approves as well! It blocks 30 % of the fat intake and help your body break it all down healthy and faster then normal! Good luck! And i would but my life on the line for this product thats how amazing it is!

   1200-1500calories a day for females.
   females are advised not to go under 1200 a day as the body burns atleast 1200cals a day just by exsisting!

   Firstly, you need to decide your goals, then look into the maths of it.

   How much do you want to lose? In what time?

   Some facts. 1lb of fat contains 3500 calories of energy, so that’s what you need to burn off to lose it. You do this through diet and exercise. A healthy woman needs 2000 calories a day; you are taking in 1500 so creating a deficit of 500. You are also exercising. Lets assume this burns off another 200 calories. That’s a 700 calorie deficit daily. You recover these calories through burning your own fat stores.

   So 3500 / 700 = 1lb lost in 5 days.

   If you kept your exercise the same, but only took in 1300 calories a day, you would create a deficit of 900 calories daily.

   3500 / 900 = 1lb lost in 4 days.

   If you dropped your diet to 1300 calories and did twice as much exercise your deficit would be 1100 calories, 3500/1100 = 1 lb in 3 days.

   For every extra 200 calories burnt a day you add up to a day less to lose 1lb.
