Hello! I'm unfamiliar with weight loss and CICO as I haven't tried it before. I'd like to ask a few questions about it. I'm 5'3, female, and weigh 137 pounds. These questions might be kind of stupid, or common sense, but I'm really confused about the whole thing and I want to do it right.
-
On a diet of 1,200 calories per day, would I continue losing even once a reach a lower weight or just maintain? Let's say I reach 110 pounds. Would I have to eat a higher amount of calories (such as 1,300) to maintain that weight and stop losing? I don't want to weigh under 100 pounds.
-
Would exercise speed up the process of weight loss, or would it just cause toning/muscle building? For example if normally I'd lose 1 pound per week on CICO, would I lose 2 pounds per week with long, daily walks?
-
Do I measure grains dry or cooked? For example if it says 1 cup of pasta, is that 1 cup dry or 1 cup cooked? I don't want to underestimate how many calories I'm consuming.
-
Would going under 1,200 calories be okay? I'm not talking 600 calories. More like around 1,000-1,100. I think it would be frustrating to aim for having exactly 1,200 calories per day. And I'd rather go under than over. Would this be dangerous to my health to go under the recommended amount?
-
Will losing weight get rid of (or decrease) thigh cellulite?
-
I'd like to avoid being skinnyfat. I have knee and hip issues that affect my ability to do any strenuous exercise such as running, jumping, etc. Cardio and strength training can cause a lot of pain, and can cause my knee and hip pain to worsen for several weeks. However, I can walk easily with a mobility device (rollator or cane). Can going for daily walks (3-5 miles) prevent me from being skinnyfat and tone me up, at least a little bit? I don't expect to be really toned like Instagram models. But I'd like to have at least a little less visible body fat.
