Best Answer

Depending on your level of activity, your caloric intake might not require as many as your body needed when you were younger.

Eating less than about 1,200 calories per day may be dangerous to your health. What you can do it be conscious of every calorie that you put into your mouth, so that with every bite you know exactly what part of your body you're nourishing.

As well, you can 'eat low on the food chain' by eating as many raw vegetables, fruits and foods that you cook at home as possible, and avoiding pre-packaged foods, fast foods and foods prepared by a commercial organization.

Finally, eat small meals -- maybe five per day; don't eat after 6PM and don't drink your calories.

The best advise is that you work with a nutritionist to help you understand how best to nourish your body and lose weight.

Can a 5ft 2 woman lose weight on a 1700 calorie diet per day?

Any significant decrease in calories will lead to weight lost. If this 5' 2" woman eats say 2000-2500 hundred calories a day, then yes she will lose weight. Exercise is also a good way to help lose weight and make your body firm and toned.


If a woman weighs 220 pounds and consumes 600 calories a day what will she weigh in one month?

It depends on many other factors, so the end weight is really unknown. The woman must be exercising to lose weight, because you need to burn calories to lose weight. Also, it depends on the foods. Eating a healthy diet of 600 calories will result in mroe weight loss than 600 calories a day of chips and cookies and ice cream. 600 calories, however, is not a safe amount to eat per day. A person on a diet should eat between 1,000 and 1,200 calories a day to be safe and to still lose weight.
