Recommended Answer:

Why a month? Are you joining a bodybuilding competition?You should be making a LIFEstyle change, which means there should be no rush. If you set a deadline like this, you're going to workout for a month, lose weight, then stop working out, and gain weight. Is that what you want? Stop worrying about deadlines first of all.2nd of all, 900 calories is too low for anyone especially for someone lifting weights. 1300 is more reasonable. If you do that amount of exercise and eat healthy, you should be great in the long run. 1 month isn't enough time to make a substantial difference but if you keep it up for 6 months, you should be extremely happy with the results.

• To start off there's 3,500 calories in a pound of fat. A good amount to lose in a week is up to 2 pounds, 1 pound being more ideal. so you need a deficiency of 500-1000 calories a day. Google calorie calculator and do that and you can figure out how many calories you need to eat to maintain your weight based on your lifestyle. Now cut 500-1000 calories from that. You should see a difference after a month.Tips:Drink lots of cold waterEat lots of small snacksDon't skip meals.
