    Not unless your a 120 lb girl even then it's dangerous

    How tall are you? I'm 5'7" and started out in June around that weight. 1400-1600 + eating back exercise cals most days and I would drop 1 - 1 1/2 pounds a week. 1200 is just a generic "diet" number I think. You can customize your macros and adjust as you go to see what works best for you.
  • I got the same thing and my boyfriend says 1200 calories is not enough....I'm wanting to find out about this too..
