    So, I have actually been looking at this 1200 calorie diet thing... I have had it drilled into my head that I should be eating 1200 a day to lose weight. So someone please explain to me why I am seeing that I should be eating more than this? I want to be healthy, not just lose weight and I really would appreciate your advice. TIA.

    May I ask why? I know everyone has their own opinions, just curious as to what yours is?

    Do not eat below your BMR, your body needs that just to function.

    This is only going to raise more questions than answers for your target audience, which is the newbies. It's obvious you're not a fan of 1200 calorie diets. But why?

    Note: I'm not going to agree or disagree with you since you didn't explain your position.

    Are you kidding. This topic never dies. I've been on here since August, and it comes up every day in one form or another.

    I am on a 1300 calorie diet, set by my dietician. I have diabetes. I am never hungry. I never could believe I could have a sandwich, cottage cheese and fruit at bedtime. But I get up around noon and have my 3 meals from then until bedtime. Now I don't always adhere to the three meal type diet plan but I am rarely over my diet
