A. skip breakfast as often as possible.
B. try to lose five to six pounds per week.
C. eat at least 1,200 calories per day.
D. put extreme limitations on calorie consumption

Answer 1

C. eat at least 1,200 calories per day.

Answer 2

Answer:  

C. eat at least 1,200 calories per day.

Explanation:

An average woman should consume daily at least 1200-1500 calories and an average man should consume daily at least 2000 calories to lose a pound of weight in a week in a healthy way. Anything less than that is harmful and will result in muscle loss. Body's immune system will also become weak and the person wont be able to perform daily tasks due to lack of energy.

The results will also not be permanent because the lost weight will be gained back as soon as normal eating is resumed. Breakfast should be the heaviest meal of the day to provide energy for the entire day and dinner should be the lightest.
