    No - you should be eating NO LESS that 1200 a day.
    1000 a day is not healthy. You will go into starvaion mode and your body will hold onto the fat instead of losing it.

    Trust me you don't want to go there!! Even while ill I was unable to maintain many cals and I gained 10 lbs from lack of being able to eat much. Crimeny, what a shocker that was, 5 lbs. one week, 5 three weeks later when I saw her again. My body was getting nervous without food coming in so was hanging onto the weight for dear life. Now I have to get those lbs. back off and settle my bodies fears back down.:grumble: :tongue:

    I highly suggest not going under 1200 as that's the very minimun our body needs to function.:flowerforyou:

    Cheers to your success:drinker:

    I remember doing the Cambridge dieat eons ago, I imagine it's changed over the years. Is that the one you drink shakes and powered soups (liquid diet)? Oh my, I recall taking hot water and soup power and shaking it with a lid on. :noway: Not a good thing unless you're pretty sure you want to climb on a chair to wipe the soup offa the ceiling!:laugh: I never gave it thought it fly outta the container like that. Oh well, those days are over.
