Hi! Thanks for the question. Our biggest concern is that you are trying to eating around 1000 calories. We do not recommend anyone to eat less than 1200 calories per day. Unless you have a metabolic condition, if you were eating this few calories and working out three hours a day you would be losing weight. For weight loss to occur you have to expend more energy (calories) than you are consuming. To lose 1 pound of body fat you need a 3500 calorie deficit. If I were to take a guess at why you are not losing weight, I would say you are underestimating the amount of calories you think you are eating. If you are not already, keep a journal of your diet. Make sure you weight or measure your food so you have an accurate record of the amount of calories you are consuming. Exercising for 3 hours a day is also an excessive amount, especially if you are new to exercise. Please remember 1-2 pounds per week is a healthy weight loss goal. Losing more than this will led to unhealthy habits and typically regaining the weight. Hope this helps…
