Exercising 1 hour a day, eating 1000 calories a day. Is this enough?
Q: I have been exercising for about 1 hour a day but I want to know if it was enough and I wanted to know when is an appropriate time to do it. Also I have been eating around 1000 calories a day. Is that healthy enough?
Mozzy: You won't be able to stick to 1000 calories for very long, and this deprivation of calories most likely will set you up for a major binge down the road. Try eating small sensible meals more frequently with plenty of complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, and plenty of fruits and vegetables.
As for exercise, an hour a day is great but you will want to increase either the intensity or duration (or both) of your routine after about 6 weeks or so. If you add in strength training along with your aerobic exercise, you'll see your results increase dramatically.
