Confusion over calories and healthy weight loss
If there is anyone here with good, sound, medical advice on this, please
help me to clear up my confusion and possibly wrong assumptions. First, what rate of weight loss is healthy? Is it 1% of body weight per week? More? Less? Second, is it true that to lose weight you should eat 8 - 10 times your body weight in calories? So a 120 pound person who wants to lose weight would eat between 960 and 1200 calories a day? My confusion comes from thinking that's a mighty small amount of calories. (Not that I weigh 120 pounds, lol) -- -Michelle Levin (Luna) http://www.mindspring.com/~lunachick http://www.mindspring.com/~designbyluna
