    1200 can be hard if your trying to eat clean with lean proteins and vegetables . that's alot of veggies!!! thank goodness for almonds!! and my Oreos.......:tongue:

    Sorry I still don't see it as hard. When there's a will there's a way. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to your veggies. Eat some cheese. Eat 1/4 cup of cashews. It's not hard.

    How to lose 40 pounds in three weeks:
    1. Lay down a tarp.
    2 sharpen a saw...

    lmfao!!!! ooooooooor starve.. tredmill 4-5 hours a day... laxatives 4-5 times a day... if ur alive after 3 weeks might drop 40?
    If you told some people the human head weighs 8 pounds, they might actually consider it...

    i like those who say "you really shouldn't eat chocolate or have a free meal every week, not to mention free day. Chocolate is so bad for you, it doesn't provide any vitamins, it has no nutrients, one snickers bar packs...blah blah..."
    HELLO, did you gain weight by eating broccoli? They all act like nutritionists... And still being fat!
    You can see many skinny people who still eat chocolate and cakes, the point is not to obsess so much...

    Are we all assuming here that everyone on MFP is trying to lose weight? Maybe the people who post that are trying to gain weight, have eating disorders, and are doing the best they can to eat that much. As much as "cutting down" your calories to 1200 can be difficult for those trying to lose, the same can be said for those trying to eat more and gain weight.

    On one hand, I agree and think, "I know I certainly didn't get overweight eating under 1200."

    But on the other hand, there are people who've completely trashed their metabolism. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/3047-700-calories-a-day-and-not-losing

    But even then, eating less isn't the solution to the problem.

    I'm 125lbs and yes sometimes can get full if I have plenty of PROTEIN and stay at 1200, but that is not an everyday thing. It's rare, but as soon as I have cravings I go to bed. Now my body is getting used to it.

    125lbs r u like 4'11 or somethign lol

    I am about 120 and 5ft3 xD
    I don't think I am ever "full" always want MOAR :]
    Good thing I have some control or i'd be about 400lbs by now >.<

    I'm 5'3 and a half. Every bit counts. Why would you think i'm 4"11. Thats a random height to throw out there and guess.

    I'm not disagreeing with you, because 125 is pretty lean, but you're one of the few guys I've "met" who'd say that.

    Maybe I've just known way too many guys who actually believe that Playboy Playmates really are 5'9 and 107#. :laugh:

    Stomach shrinks and you do feel full faster....and protein makes you feel fuller faster. Just my opinion. I say go to the jar of PB to get the rest in :)

    I've noticed in a couple of these posts the culprit turned out to be prescription diet pills. Of course if a chemical is making you not hungry, you have to force yourself to eat.

    I understand that it can be hard for someone to eat 1200 calories (though this has only happened to me when I was sick)

    That being said, what are they hoping to get by posting about it on this site? "Eat almonds!" "Eat healthy fats!" "I know exactly what you mean!"

    I feel like most (not all) are just looking for attention and have to realize that a lot of people trying to lose weight are going to wish they had this problem.

    Keep in mind that I am using generalilzations and there are exceptions to everything.

    While I normally do not have a problem in this area the other day I did have 700 calories left at bedtime and was not hungry but I had burned a massive amount working out that day so it gave me all those extra to eat up. I was not going to eat just to eat and fill those calories but for once in life I felt that way LOL LOL----usually not a problem though becuase I am not a carrot/veggie eating person----give me steak, steak, steak and sweet potatoes!!

    Um, aren't sweet potatoes technically a vegetable?

    Also, I eat a mostly clean, vegetarian diet and average 2,000+ total (1,600+ net) almost every day, so not even that is an excuse.
