    However this personally works for me. I do little exercise as I am a student and I have a very slow metabolism...When I stick to a diet of 800 cals a day I can lose about a pound a week. So i think it should be done by how you feel. One week is not really enough time to tell.....
    I eat lots of low calorie foods. so I tend to eat more but still stay at less calories.
    Popcorn is a great snack
    While it's true that everyone is different, it is NOT recommended to eat so few cals. Consuming so few cals long term is not healthy for most people.

    also try eating something before your run. We have to eat something to get our body "to wake up" in the morning. even if its a banana or yogurt. something to say hey body wake up and start burning. Someone explained that to me and it made sense because i never ate breakfast in the morning. Now i have 300 calories in the morning, 100-200 for a mid morning snack 300-400 for lunch, 100-200 for an afternoon snack and then dinner is 300-400 and that averages out to 1250-1350 a day and your full all day IF YOU EAT THE RIGHT THINGS!
