    Hi everyone I live in the uk. I need to loose 1 stone by may next year to get into my wedding dress. I find dieting very hard so I need some harsh friends to help me. I am on 1200 cal per day so would love some other who are on the same so I can view your food diaries and get some ideas on your snacks. I am a snicker rather than 3 meals a day. Thanks all you lovely people.

    I read somewhere that if you eat below your BMR and for most people 1200 cal is too low, the body will actually stop losing weight and try to hold on to any fat that is left, or something like that, I don't know if I'm explaining it right, I've read that too low in calories will make it so you can't lose weight it's a weird response our bodies have when we go into starvation mode. Maybe someone else can explain this better. Obviously a Calorie Deficit will cause weight loss, but you have to eat at least your BMR calories.

    Starvation mode in that sense is a myth. You have to starve long and hard for something like that to happen [think starving children in Africa]; anorexics would otherwise not be underweight, and that is an actual requirement of being diagnosed anorexic. Don't spread misinformation.

    Also, as mentioned earlier in the topic, she is a short female who is unable to due heavy exercise [due to injury].. Her TDEE will already be extremely low, so 1200 isn't a hard shoot. I maintain around 1500 being lightly active.
