Is it possible to lose fat and gain muscle on a 1200 calorie diet? ?!


Question: Is it possible to lose fat and gain muscle on a 1200 calorie diet!? !?
I'm 17, 5'0 and 98 lbs!. Don't tell me not to lose weight - I'm determined to be 90 lbs!. I have a very small body frame - Please try to understand!.

If I eat 1200 - 1300 calories a day and go to the gym almost every day, using an elliptical to burn off 300 - 400 calories a time, will I lose weight!? Is this healthy!? Should I add muscle training too!? But isn't it impossible to gain muscle and lose weight at the same time, because of the calorie restriction!?

Also, how long would it take to lose the 8 lbs!?

THANKS!Www@Answer-Health@Com
