Hi there,
Maybe this question has been askes a 1000 times already, but that doesn't keep me from asking it once again
Have any of you had a succes with a 1200 calorie diet? I just have some questions.
1. How much did you lose?
2. Did you find it hard to keep to the 1200? What did you eat mostly?
3. Did you just eat whatever you like as long as it was under 1200 total, or did you eg eat a lot of protein/fat etc.
4. How long did it take you to start seeing a difference/to start losing? Did you lose half 1 pound a week or 2 pounds?
5. Did you eat calories back?
6. Would you recommend it?
I'm thinking of starting this myself.. I'm 176 cm long and I want to lose about 10 kilograms (approx 22 LBS)
I would like to lose 1-2 LBS per week..
I'm still struggling to find something that works for me, so that's why I am asking these questions!
It would be really nice if you would help me out..

How much do you weigh now?

I'm not really comfortable with my weight.. gained a lot of weight recently due to personal reasons. The profile pic is the weight I want to get back to!0

You said that you want to lose about 22lbs. Since you are aiming to lose less than 25lbs, you should set your goal to be to lose .5lb/week.
You said that you are struggling-so further deprivation is only going to make you struggle more. Losing at a slower rate has been proved to be more sustainable.

I lost weight before eating 1200 calories a day and exercising often. Gained it back and here I am again. This time I am using IIFYM and I eat 1600 calories a day, working out a few days a week and in the 3 weeks I have been doing it have gone down 6 pounds. I can't believe how much I eat and I am never hungry. To me this is so much more sustainable than a 1200 calorie goal. I highly recommend at least looking into it. If you have any questions about it - feel free to contact me!0

I've been eating 1200 calories a day (or less) and am not hungry I've lost 7 pounds.0

1LB/week should be fine until she gets to the last 10.
OP, I would not suggest 1200 cals. I would set your goal to lose 1lb/week and eat back 1/2 the cals burned from exercise.0 -
How much did you lose?
8kg so far, 10kg to go, to get to my goal of 60kgs (I am 1.7 tall)
2. Did you find it hard to keep to the 1200? What did you eat mostly?
Tough in the beginning but I got used to it and my hunger levels improved when I added more protein and veggies. I have been at this for 4 months.
3. Did you just eat whatever you like as long as it was under 1200 total, or did you eg eat a lot of protein/fat etc.
I eat whatever I like. I eat McDonalds, chocolate and bread, but I eat them in moderation and less often than I used to. I choose to eat them less often as struggle less with hunger and low energy when I stick to healthier food. Feel free to view my diary.
4. How long did it take you to start seeing a difference/to start losing? Did you lose half 1 pound a week or 2 pounds?
I lose at at an average of 0.5kg a week, but that is an average as I have also gone two weeks without losing a gram and then had a bumper loss week after that. It all works out in the end which is why I have lost 8kg in 4 months.
5. Did you eat calories back?
No. I also do not log my exercise. I consider exercise burns a bonus. I only log some exercise when I am a tiny bit over on my daily numbers as I don't like to see the red. I think I have only done that 3 times in 4 months.
6. Would you recommend it?
It works for me but expect to see tons of people telling you that you will starve and that it can't be done. People can get judgy and uptight about 1200 particular if you are over 5.6 (which both you and I are). I see no reason not to eat at 1200 if it is comfortable for you. Why should I lose weight slower because other people need to eat more? Other people must do what they do and I will stick with this. In my experience it can be easily done and I have no intention of increasing my calories before maintenance. Don't be shamed into eating more, but at the same time, don't feel you have to compete with me or anyone else eating at 1200. It is not for everyone.0 -

For 5 and 6, the reason you should eat more than 1200 (exercise cals back at least) is that the larger your deficit the higher the % of your total weight loss that will come from lean muscle, not the fat you are trying to lose. So ask yourself, do you want to lose weight, or lose fat (hint: they are not necessarily one in the same)0 -
I have to make a lot of assumptions to try to help you, but this could serve as an example.
I've done 1200 cals a day before, but since I am heavier than you, it was a more aggressive diet for me than it would be for you. If you're 176 cm, that's 5'9". You want to get to how you look in your profile pic, which is what, 120 lbs (a bit more if you're muscular)?
If you have 22 lbs to lose, that puts you at 140-145 now. At 145 lbs and 5'9", assuming you're 20 years old, your BMR is 1516 cals. This means you burn 1516 cals just lying in bed watching Netflix all day. Assuming you have an office job like most people these days, your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) is 1819 cals (1.2x your BMR). That means on a non-exercise day, your minimal activity will have you burning 1819 calories.
If you consume 1200 calories per day, when your body burns 1819 calories per day, you are creating a deficit of 619 calories per day. This yields a weekly deficit of 4334 calories. As you lose roughly one pound of weight per 3500 calorie deficit, you would lose 1.24 lbs per week. Add exercise on top of that a few days a week, and you would be in the 1-2 lbs per week weight loss range, exactly what you want!
It would be difficult to stick to this diet, but I think it could work. When you are at a relatively steep calorie deficit, you should, as you guessed, focus on protein. It's important to get a lot of protein.
You would hit your goal in 8-12 weeks (assuming you exercise, increasing your weekly calorie deficit to at least 7000).
Again, I made a lot of assumptions here, but this is the basic energy-in energy-out science.
Now for a little mom/doctor disclaimer. Be careful! This is a tough diet. If you feel dizzy or light-headed, you should eat more, or at least eat more often to keep your energy levels more predictable. Ideally, talk this over with a doctor before doing it. Don't get in the habit of zig-zag dieting (dieting hard, then not dieting) as it can wear on your mentally. etc etc etc. Just covering my bases here0 -
Thank you so much guys!

Thank you! Some of the assumptions are true..
I am a student myself.. which comes with parties and drinks, committees I am joining with dinners and stuff. I think it's very important that I can still do all the social stuff, so I won't deprive myself or anything when there's something fun or when I'm out.
I know it's a tough diet.. If I feel hungry I will just up it a little.
Thank you so much for taking time to help me!0 -

On the plus side, students walk around a lot, so your TDEE is likely higher than my guess (means you burn more calories on a non-exercise day). On the minus side, all the parties make it harder to count calories and stay on track. Good luck!0 -

So than the OP should be eating above 1200 cals. As pointed out, if OP only has about 22lbs to lose they should be aiming for about .5lbs per week, not 1.5. At that deficit, OP would most likely be sacrificing LBM along with fat to reach goal weight, which may not effect OP's BF% much, which if we're aiming for the picture, is probably more of the goal than the weight since aesthetics is really the goal.0 -
I eat 1200 calories a day have been maintaining it a month and already lost 6lbs. I am used to it now and dont get too hungry. I try to eat things that keep me full longer like protein and vegetables but that is a personal preference. I dont eat back a lot of my workout calories, only when I know I had a hard workout and only less than half of what it shows I burn.0

I currently have my MFP calorie limit set to 1200 calories, I'd like to lose about 10 pounds. I did it a few months ago and then gained most of it back so I'm starting over. Personally, I find that my appetite fluctuates quite a bit related to my hormonal cycle, some days 1200 is completely fine, other days it's not enough. I know that maintenance for me is around 1800 calories, so what I do is I stick to the 1200 as often as possible, but if I find myself still hungry, I allow myself to consume up to the maintenance amount. On days when I'm going out for dinner and/or drinks with friends or family I just take a day off and don't track. This works for me, but everyone is different. Good luck!0

1. Ten pounds so far, going for another 10
2.Yes, very hard. I am eating LOTS of salad and vegetables.
3. I have to be extremely strict to stay within my calories. Virtually no sugary snacks, almost no cheese, no alcohol whatsoever. I eat a lot of eggs, chicken, salads, other vegetables, Quest bars for snacks, fruit, limited amounts of bread and other grain-based carbs (they make me crave more food), limited amounts of nuts. I do eat avocado, olive oil, butter and other fats to fit my macros (30% fat).
4. I started losing immediately. Noticed a difference after losing 5 pounds. I am losing approximately .5 to 1 pound a week.
5. Absolutely. I am conservative estimating exercise calories, and then I eat most of them back. I'm sure I'd lose faster if I ate fewer back, but it's virtually the only way I can maintain 1200 calories a day.
6. I would not recommend 1200 calories unless you are very short, older (I am 55) or if MFP sets that as your target for losing .5 to 1 pound a week.
1200 calories a day is HARD. It is very difficult to fit in treats, restaurant meals, drinks and a lot of other stuff people on these forums say they "just find a way to fit in." My mind is especially boggled by those who say they save up 200-300 calories a day for a late night snack. I wish.0 -
I did 1200 calories a day a few years back and had no problems. I just started up again this week. I think it is hard only in the beginning because your body is not used to it. However, over time your appetite and stomach shrinks and you get fuller much faster. I remember that on one cheat day last time, when I went out to eat I ordered the meal I used to order and I got full on the salad and had to take the entire meal home!
I did not eat back any calories lost with exercise. Everyone is different, but for me, although it does make a difference over time, it's not enough and I have to exercise at least 4 days a week to start seeing a difference. When eating out, you will probably have to change a lot of what you normally get. However, at home, i was able to eat a lot of the same things, just smaller portions and some substitutes. For instance, I would die without pasta, so I still ate pasta and even a slice of garlic bread for dinner sometimes.
Of course since I just started this week again, I am finding myself hungry often, but just make sure to keep healthy snacks around. And I agree with another poster, people will try to tell you not to do it. But if it works for you, then it works for you! I never had any health issues, and Iost weight and gained muscle.0 -
After reading your post, I went back about a year and a half into my food diary where I was sometimes eating, 1100-1600 calories a day and burning over 600 calories a day too. Sometimes doing fitnessblender 1000 calorie workouts or 800 CALORIE Insanity workouts. Now that I look back I'm like how did I do that! I really had no appetite back then, but i did eat healthier low calorie foods at the time. but yeah I lost lots of weight really fast, I didn't gain anything back, I maintained really well. Until about 4.5 months ago when I got pregnant and stopped the extreme exercise and low cal lifestyle. If I can remember I had it set to 2 lbs a week at the time. Not saying it's the healthiest and best way to do it for you, but that's what I did and I'm healthy to date. Good luck on your journey.0

Same for me. With 1200 cals, it's three meals and two very small snacks (as in: an apple). There is this guy who always come here to say: "I eat ice cream everyday, no problem". Granted, if your lunch consists of cucumber dipped in vinegar, it's totally doable to save 250 or 300 points per day on ice cream ...0 -
I eat 1200 calories and don't eat back my exercise calories. Sometimes I'm hungry but not very and it's for a good cause. I don't lose weight otherwise. My diary is open so feel free to check it out. This last week I was camping so it's the same every day but you can go back further.0

Didn't see the last posts.. thank you all!0
-
I've lost about 25 lbs on 1200 calories. I'm also really short, though, as in MFP originally set me to 1100 calories and I just needed a little wiggle room.0
-
It's hard for me to lose on much less than 1200 because I have hypothyroidism. I do eat back a portion of my exercise calories and am not usually hungry. I have lost 45 pounds in a little over a year.0

I was on a 'net 1250 cal/day' diet for the first 4 months (mid-Feb to mid-June).
1. 15 kg.
2. It was quite easy to remain within my net 1250 cal/day. I ate a wide variety of food. More variety than before I went on the diet.
3. I ate whatever I liked. But I did discover that certain foods had more staying-power than others.
4. It was 10 days before I started losing, then I lost approx. 1 kg/week.
5. I ate approximately half my exercise calories. That really helped with the net 1250 cal idea. I exercise every day so I rarely ate just 1250 cal.
6. Absolutely.
Then I took a break for about a month, and resumed on a net 1350 cal diet ... and have lost an additional 4 kg since.

1. How much did you lose?
I lost 25lbs on a 1200 calorie plan plus exercise which I didn't eat back..
2. Did you find it hard to keep to the 1200? What did you eat mostly?#
I found it INCREDIBLY hard but I managed it. I ate lots of soups and fish.
3. Did you just eat whatever you like as long as it was under 1200 total, or did you eg eat a lot of protein/fat etc.
I didn't pay attention to the macro's. I just made sure I was eating 1200 per day.
4. How long did it take you to start seeing a difference/to start losing? Did you lose half 1 pound a week or 2 pounds?
I consistently lost 2lbs per week
5. Did you eat calories back?
No
6. Would you recommend it?
No. Because it isn't necessary. You can lose a good amount of weight eating a good amount MORE than that. 1200 is depriving - for me.0 -
1. I lost 70 pounds.
2. Yes, it was horrible. I cried some afternoons when I was so hungry, particularly in the winter when I was also cold. I ate the same thing every day until I could not eat it and then ate something else. I will never eat broccoli again. Or tuna fish. Mostly I ate baked skinless chicken breasts and frozen mixed vegetables with ramen noodles or rice with a tablespoon of diet margarine. Greek yogurt. Oatmeal. Boiled eggs. Bland foods worked best for me.
3. I didn't pay any attention to macros. I could not eat anything I like because I'd eat too much of some of it. I could not keep bread, ice cream, or peanut butter in the house, for example.
4. I lost half a pound a week. I saw a difference almost immediately. I had a massive belly which went down fast.
5. I did not eat calories back. I didn't exercise much - I was very sick the first time I lost the weight and the powerful meds had awful side effects.
6. I wouldn't recommend it. This time I'm able to exercise and I'm eating back about 25% of the calories. I'm much more comfortable and still losing weight but don't think I could manage again on just 1200.
You probably don't have to eat that little in order to lose weight. At my height, my weight and my age, no calorie counter I've checked gives me a daily calorie limit above 1200 for even half a pound a week. I still can't do it without offsetting it with exercise calories.0 -
I started three weeks ago with a 1200 calorie limit. My goal is to loose 20# and learn what I need to eat to stay there. I've been well under my 1200 calories a day. You can read my general. I eat high protien meats and fresh vegis or fruit. My first week taught me a lot by looking back on my fat, carbs, protien. I do not eat back my calories and I'm not hungry. I also drink 1 gallon of water a day and boot camp three times a week and try to get in a couple of days of 2 mile walk jog with my dog. In two weeks I've lost 5#. YOU CAN TO0
