There is no cookie-cutter number of calories that will work for everyone. It is highly unlikely that a 2,000 calorie per day intake will result in weight loss, specifically for a woman. That is just the general average consumption amount they put on the dietary info section on products. The key is to discover approximately how many calories your body naturally burns per day based on your gender, height, and weight. Then add to that how many calories you burn in physical activity. The purpose is to create a calorie deficit. It takes a deficit of 3,500 calories to loose one pound. It sounds like a lot, and it is, but this can be the cumulative total over several days or weeks. A good rule of thumb is to create a deficit of 500 calories a day. You can either eat 500 calories less, burn 500 calories exercising, or make the best of both worlds (eat 250 less, burn 250 more). However, it is always best to find out exactly how many calories YOU need to burn as an individual to reach your goals. I've used this website a lot: http://www.thedailyplate.com/ It's free, you can log your food intake so you know exactly how many calories you are consuming, plus when you sign up they calculate how many calories you need to burn a day based on your goals and specific body type. Hang in there and good luck! :)Health Question & Answer
It all depends. Different people need a different amount of calories due to their current weight and exercise habits. A person with more body weight needs more calories than a smaller person. A person who exercises more needs more calories in order for their body to have calories to burn. If you currently are eating more than 2000 calories a day then yes you would lose weight eating 2000.Health Question & Answer
Burning calories became a piece of cake (LOL) for me when I started trying out acai berry. I understand they say that pills will not work, however they sure worked for me, and they have been shown on CBS News too. There is a free trial happening currently at http://cigihais.carys.org , why not check it out, why not.?Health Question & Answer
