Please help? question about metabolism and losing weight?!
Question: I am very confused. I am trying to lose weight so recently i have been eating 900 calories. I dont lose or gain when i eat 1200 so i was thinking this is how much i should eat to maintain therefore i thought i would be a good idea to eat 900 so i could have a slow weight loss of only 300 a day. But i have been doing this for 3 days and i havent lost any fat yet. why is this happening?

Just to let you know that 900 calories a day is not enough..... If you are trying to boost your metabolism and lose weight ( In the same boat) .... You need to eat a bunch of protein and limit the types of carbs you eat...., not only that but take multi-vitamins...Worse thing you can do is starve yourself... because what happens is the body starts eating the muscle and not the fat.... causing you to gain more weight if you stop dieting. It also takes more than 3 days before the body starts to lose......have to get into the cycle of burning fat......which is i'm afraid to say one of the harder steps......
it takes alot longer than 3 days to show the effects of fat loss.
you may lose weight in 3 days but the beginning weight loss is normally only water loss.
I dont recommend 900 cals a day for weight loss unless you're a very petite person. You can lose weight eating more, incorperate exercise and better food choices...
...losing weight for good and in a healthy manner takes a fair while...but in the end it is most definately worth it.
