I just want to show that you do not have to eat low calories to have nice results

    I agree! I don't think one should eat below their RMR, otherwise you risk burning muslce instead of fat and you're body isn't receiving enough fuel to function. My profile pic shows the proof!

    An entire 12 inches shorter than me and you only eat 300 calories less. What a devastating difference height makes, huh?!?!?!

    Hey there!

    Don't feel like figuring out how to post pics here - but my profile is open

    I've eaten, on average 1700-1900 cals over the past year. Size 18 to an 8. A few more pounds to go to my size 6 goal. Gonna do it eating 1900 , lifting weights, moderate outdoor walking and an occasional hit of HIIT on the bike.

    I eat 1700 everyday even when I do not workout. I lift 3 times a week (200 calories) or run 5k 1-2 times a week (250 calories) I do not have high burns

    My before and during are here...

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/LottieLou13/view/18th-march-to-now-415484

    I eat 1700 a day whether I work out or not, and lift heavy x3 a week. I still have a long way to go but it's proof that no starvation is need to lose weight :smile:
