Question:
I think i have a weight problem......what do you think?
Im 13, 5'2, and 140 pounds, thats overweight? Oh is it true that if like you eat 1000 calories and burn 2000 calories you lose 2 pounds, if you eat 1000 and burn 3000, you lose 3 pounds and so on?
Answers:
Sounds to me like you're carrying a little extra there.
And no, it's not true. A pound of fat is 3500 calories regardless of how much you eat or expend energy and good luck in burning 3000 calories a day and your body not going into shock. And eating 1000 calories a day is too little for anybody as you'll go into starvation mode, your metabolism will go down and your body will hoard as many calories as it can. As you're only 13 you shouldn't be going on a diet, just reduce the bad stuff you're eating and exercise more.
If you want to reduce your weight, you need to do it slow and steady. If you take it too fast the weight will come back.
