    Thanks all, and I don't understand the 1200 calorie thing for someone who is tall,all the talk is about stavation mode, I know when i'm starving and I'm not with 1200 calories at all. I'm just going to try to get as close to 1200 and maybe eat some of my exercise back if I hungry...

    Why is this magical 1200 the same for everyone
    1200 is the calories it takes for an average woman to get sufficient nutrition. This site is simplistic, if like me you're not average, you have to educate yourself about the issues and make your own informed decisions.

    Note - that is 1200 calories of real food, I'm sure there are many people repeating it parrot fashion who eat more than 1200 yet are not eating healthily.

    I really recommend seeing a nutritionist. If you have any concerns you should have a health expert clarify.
