1500 calories

At this point the 1200 calorie range feels a bit rough...so I have been doing 1500 calories.

Has anyone lost on 1500 cal. and if so, how long did it take you?

I started at 1300 calories and was so tired and hungry and didnt lose any weight. Then i went up to 1600 and started losing. So far i lost 3 pounds, but i still find myself feeling tired and hungry at 1600 but im afraid to up my calories higher. Although alot of people on here say you need to fuel your body and eat more (healthy foods of course) to lose?!?! Seems to work.

I guess it depends on height and weight, but my calorie goal is 1690. And I know Im losing weight, the scale told me!

i heard from a clip on youtube that most people fail at diets in the first week as they lower their calorie intake to quickly...there body isn't use to having so little calories, it makes them feel like they are starving and then they tend to over eat.

He suggested to try and lower your calorie intake each week. Im not too sure if this is correct but it makes a lot of sense to me.

I did it like this.

1st Week - 1600 calories
2nd Week - 1400 calories
3rd Week - 1200 calories

And I feel like I am fill all the time because I think I let my stomach shrink slowly. Also I think it comes down to you metabolism as well and how fast your body burns food.

Another thing I do is that I tend to have most of my snacks in the afternoon as I exercise at night so I have energy for my workouts.

I am not saying this will work for everyone but I is what has worked for me so far.
