My guess? You'll start off by losing no weight in the first 2-3 weeks because you're eating far too little and overtraining. Then you'll get stressed because the weight is not coming off, producing more cortisol in your system, a hormone that will cause you to retain more fat in your abdominal area and possibly miss your period. Also, you'll experience extreme dizziness, nausea, constant tiredness, and may lose some of your hair. Your overtraining will result in your body not having enough time to recover from the workouts, leaving you even more tired and you will likely feel weak often and will probably lose muscle mass.

On the flip side, you could up your calories to at least 1500 a day, being sure to eat lean proteins(fish, poultry, etc.) and vegetables/fruit, work out 3 or 4 times a week (fairly rigorously for at least 30 minutes, M-Tu-Th-F and off on the weekend, giving your body plenty of time to recover), and attempt not to stress out about it. Then you would lose on the order of 2 lbs a week, and you want to do that for 3 months, so that would be 12 weeks = 24 lbs.

Of course, this also depends highly on how much you weigh now, if you weigh over 160lbs (63.5kg) then you may lose more.

Lastly, depending on whether you implement weight training in your routine, your weight may not go down quite as quickly due to an increase in lean muscle mass. However, this will be noticeable or measurable in inches on your waist or what have you. Additionally, the increase in muscle mass will net you a higher metabolism, leading to more weight loss over time.

So yeah.

I think 1,000 calories a day is not much. I just started my diet and about the same as you as far as minutes workout(by the way, you could reduce your workout time by 15 minutes)... water,etc. You should lose 2# a day...Any more than that is NOT a good way to lose weight.. I do not believe in crash diets and it is injurious to your health to do so..

900-1000 calories a day is not enough. Your body will go into starvation mode and burn your calories more efficiently, slowing down your weight loss.

Shoot for about 1200 calories a day.

It's impossible to say because everyones physiology is different. I would forget about calories, it's meaningless. If you are having1000 calories of insulin stimulating food you will have a hard time losing anything. On the other hand 2000 calories of non insulin stimulating food will precipitate more weight loss than 1000 calories. Forget about calories, exercise and fat, these are not the problem.

I have lost around 60 lbs in 6 months and I will tell you what not to eat. The first myth we have been told is that fat is bad. Sugar and carbohydrate are the big nasties. In fact, reduced fat food that has had some of the fat removed is actually more fattening than the regular food because the removed fat in most cases has been replaced with carbs! This is the main reason why you must absolutely stay away from ALL processed food with no exception. Eat fresh and natural. You must have 3 meals a day and get into a routine so your body knows when to expect food. Your body is capable of doing exquisite things to avoid weight loss if it thinks it’s going to get starved, so you must feed it and regularly.

The other thing you must do is keep your insulin as low as possible by getting sugar and carbs in your diet as close to zero as you can and not having ANYTHING between meals except water. Also having at least 5 hours between one meal and another. The last meal of the day must be no later than 9pm. Insulin is a hormone that will absolutely block fat and protein burning in your body and force it to burn sugar, that's how it works. You will NOT lose weight with your blood stream flooded with insulin, even with exercise. It’s impossible. You must have at least 8 glasses of water a day in order for your liver and kidneys to excrete the fat from your body this is crucial.

Now, what you must stay away from and I mean, non at all. Bread, pasta, rice, pastry, flour of any kind, sugar, potato, onion, parsnip, sweet potato, pumpkin, beetroot, carrots, peas, beans, beer, sweet wine, spirits, spreads like butter and margarine and be very careful of sauces and condiments. Fruit and milk should be taken very, very sparingly because they are fattening. Fruit is full of sugar too, only a very small amount. Avoid all processed food including diet soda it will stimulate insulin. 3 cups of black tea or coffee WITH meals a day is OK. Use Stevia for a sweetener.

OK, if you are still with me, what can you eat? In a nutshell you replace the carbs you have removed with protein and green leafy vegetables. Do not mix protein only 1 per meal. This is what you can eat. Lean meat, poultry, fish, cheese, yoghurt and eggs are your permitted proteins. Cauliflower, cabbage, sprouts, broccoli, capsicum, mushroom, celery, zucchini and a small amount of tomato. You can have unlimited amounts of lettuce and cucumber but ONLY at meal times. You can use balsamic vinegar as a dressing; mustard is ok too but only made from the powder. Shop bought is full of sugar! Curry powder in cooking can be used as well. One tablespoon of olive oil is ok per day, in cooking and as a dressing. Garlic is OK but not shop bought; you guessed it, full of sugar. Use fresh.

I will GUARANTEE if you stick to this you will loose heaps of weight, fast. I know it's not easy and you need the support of your family too.

Just another couple of things I forgot. NO breakfast cereal and avoid really heavy exercise you will just burn glycogen in your muscles, not fat and it will just make you sore and tired. You need prolonged gentle exercise to burn fat like walking. You don't need to exercise at all on this diet as long as you're moving about. Last but not least read food labels and look at the ingredients. Avoid foods like the plague with more than 5 grams of carbohydrate per 100 grams. If you like a drink, Semillon Sauvignon Blanc (very dry and low in carbs) with a little soda water is OK with meals.

Good Luck. Jules, lecturer. Australia.

Probably alot. You would lose alot of muscle and fat and I doubt you would be able to keep calories that low for 3 months.
