frustrated!

I know, I thought 1200 was too little at first too, but I was really motivated to get into a bikini this summer lol But now that i've been eating 1200 for a couple of months, I'm actually used to it and it fills me up for the day. Should I try and eat more? Or should I keep sticking with the calories since i'm not even hungry anymore?

The hormone that regulates your hunger is called Leptin. The less you eat, the less leptin is produced in your body. This is how anorexics can eat 600 cals and say they aren't hungry.

As you slowly up your calories (try adding 100 calories each week for four weeks till you get to 1600 NET), your leptin production will increase and you will feel hungry for the right amount of calories.

Do not listen to your body-- let's face it, that's how most of us got here in the first place. Listen to science.

This.

This human pretzel knows her stuff.

You've got plenty of time before summer girl.

Take your time and do it the right way.

This is correct. If you want to ruin your metabolism and hormones then keep eating so low. It isn't a good idea.

Being in same situation since january.so much effort with little or no Victory Scale
What am hoping we do is to watch our daily intake of food cos I think that's slowing down d metabolism
Currently doing about 1200-1300.
