If you consume too few nutritional calories, your body will go into starvation mode, and will try to store EVERYTHING you eat as fat. To lose 1.5 lbs a week, you need to consume 500 calories a day less than what you burn.

So...

basic living approx 1100 calories
treadmill for an hour 600 calories
---
1700 calories

so consume 1200 calories or less on the days you work out, but not too much less or your body will work against you.
