you will lose water weight and muscle not fat plus you dramatically slow down your metabolism which will make fat loss in future even harder.
there is no way you know precisely how many calories you have burned - count time doing cardio.
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
dont try to lose more than 1-2lbs a week - its not healthy to lose more.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried - no junk food.

results as in fat loss? next to none...you will lose a lot more muscle than you will fat. if your BMR is 1000 and you burn 2000 calories through exercise what nutrients does your body have to use for biological functions? this is how your shut down the metabolism. you only need to cause a caloric deficit of 500 calories a day to lose weight. causing too much of a deficit does not increase fat loss it stops it.

where did you get 1,000 cals from anyway? it's highly unlikely that your BMR is that low unless you are about 100 lbs. and if you are you don't need to lose any weight

You didn't give your age, height or body frame size, but normally you shouldn't consume less than 1500 calories a day or your body will go into starvation mode, a genetic code that all woman have to preserve child bearing, it will do anything it can to keep every calorie you eat and convert it to fat . You will lose energy, and your metabolism will slow down. which is why yo yo dieting doesn't work.You cut calories, your body goes into starvation mode,the metabolism slows down, but when you start to eat normal again the slowed metabolism doesn't burn as many calories as it used to so what you eat easily is converted to fat that the body sees as protection from the next famine. Also by burning too many more calories than you take in a day it will make it happen faster and what you do lose will be muscle not fat as your body will burn muscle to supply energy.One of the best ways to lose weight is to build muscle,it takes more calories to fuel muscle than it does to make fat.By building more muscle you will also lose inches as the muscle to fat ratio changes. concentrate on inches of muscle versus fat and you will find you get better results.
