I read an article by Jillian Michaels and she suggests eating 1400 calories a day for 4 weeks with 5 hours of exercise per week to reset metabolism. She said that one wouldn't lose weight during this time but no gain should occur and that after the 4 weeks,weight would start coming off again. Any thoughts? I am afraid to eat this much but I do not see the scale moving with how I am eating now which is about 1200-1300 per day with daily walking and cross training. My clothes fit the same way as when I was 10 lbs. lighter so I think I have built muscle. I know I shouldn't be concerned about the scale but I am conditioned to do so!

I had read that to. I was eating 1500-1600 and wasnt losing anything I bumped it up to 1800 and slowly my weight loss is moving again. I dont think you will gain if anything you might just maintain which you are doing anyways if your not losing. Worth a try I say!0
