To lose weight
Total calorie levels of less than 1200 calories are not recommended.
Weight loss of more than 2 pounds per week is not recommended.
For a more balanced approach to a 1 pound per week weight
loss:
- increase your activity.
- Decrease calorie intake by 250
calories per day
- exercise to expend (use up) the other
250 calories.
This approach prevents a decrease in your
metabolic rate and promotes increased lean muscle mass.
