in Health and Weight Loss
I could easily take in less than 1200 calories per day but the site keeps telling me that if I go under 1200 per day that my body will store fat?? Is that true? Has anyone tested the theory? I only ask because if less cals per day can help me lose weight faster than I would like to do it, but if it will make it worse then no.

So confused.... please help.

    bless your heart. you need to read through the forum..perhaps search.."eating below 1200" and read the countless threads on this topic.

    ^^^This...so now there's one less puppy...

    But to answer your question, yes, 1200 calories IS too low. Your body needs that just to function properly. Yes, your body would then start holding on to whatever it can to survive and keep functioning. My mom rarely ate 1 meal a day, she actually got bigger. So it can backfire...

    If you work out you then need to eat more...Example, if you ate 1200 and worked out and burned 300 calories, that would be 900...you do still need that 300 for vital organs to do what they do properly.

    I eat 1600+ a day, I've lost 44 lbs.

    If you eat less than what is recommended for your calorie intake of 1200, your body will go into starvation mode and store everything you eat as fat!! Yes, you need to eat MORE to loose weight...you should be fueling your body every 2 hours during the day and use more protein as snacks to keep you fuller longer than your fruits/vegetable.
    Breakfast---snack--lunch---snack---supper!!
    So if you incorporate working out, you are burning calories so you have to "eat" those calories as well....For example---I walk on my treadmill at at incline of 5 speed 4 for 1 hour....I burn let's say 450 calories.....I have to no EAT THOSE CALORIES...That's a couple hard boiled eggs, some skinless roasted chicken, ect..
    Hope it makes sense for you :-) :-)
    Don't put your body into starvation mode....eat your calories

    @Graceisjinxed:

    Yes---hard to believe a person has to EAT to loose weight...but...you nailed it :-) Congrats on your 44lbs lost!! That's fantastic :-) I am at 38lbs prior to starting on my-fitness-pal....Had to join this to log the calories---for a more accurate intake of food and output of calories burnt!!
    best of luck as you continue on your journey :-)

    This is from my friend's page. He's lost 153 lbs...

    So this is my big scary secret for weight loss:

    Follow that thread, read through it carefully, give it a try for a few months and thank yourself later.

    I pretty much followed the MFP plan. 1200 plus exercise calories. It worked. I have maintained for 2 years this month with a 7 lb range. When I gain more than a few lbs I start logging again. Usually I find I have creeped up on portions sizes.

    With all due respect, but what you are saying is not true.......at least from a scientific standpoint. If eating this way is your personal choice that is fine, but there is no foundation that it is the only " healthy " way.

    I'm on 2400/day for weightloss so yes, if you eat 1200 cals you will probably collapse

    I am sometimes 50 to 100 calories below 1200 but am full and don't want anymore so I don't think it is a big deal if you are only a little under the mark. I wouldn't make a habit of it but once in a while I wouldn't worry about it.

    I could easily take in less than 1200 calories per day but the site keeps telling me that if I go under 1200 per day that my body will store fat?? Is that true? Has anyone tested the theory? I only ask because if less cals per day can help me lose weight faster than I would like to do it, but if it will make it worse then no.

    So confused.... please help.

    I eat 1200 calories and have consistently lost since April ( 33 pounds ). However I am barely five feet tall and 65 years old and I realize that the younger and/or taller a person is the less likely it is that 1200 calories is good, unless it is for a very short time or under a doctor's supervision if you need to lose 100 pounds or more.
    I make sure that I eat only healthy, non-processed food which I cook every day myself, so I can get the nutritional benefit of all the calories. I try to eat as close as possible to the 1200 calories I can get or even over. If you are younger than I or taller 1200 calories are NOT FOR YOU !

    This thread was posted yesterday. Same stuff you hear over and over about 1200 calories "diets", just a little different perspective. Thought it was interesting:

    ^^^This...so now there's one less puppy...

    But to answer your question, yes, 1200 calories IS too low. Your body needs that just to function properly. Yes, your body would then start holding on to whatever it can to survive and keep functioning. My mom rarely ate 1 meal a day, she actually got bigger. So it can backfire...

    If you work out you then need to eat more...Example, if you ate 1200 and worked out and burned 300 calories, that would be 900...you do still need that 300 for vital organs to do what they do properly.

    I eat 1600+ a day, I've lost 44 lbs.
    I eat 1500-1700 a day and have lost 37 lbs since end of May. Faster loss tends to be regained, this is about lifestyle change, not a quick fix!

    the typical MFP users does this:
    1. I wanna lose weight, let's try MFP.
    2. OH! Wow, it tells me I can lose 2 lbs a WEEK? AWESOME!
    3. I just sit at a desk when I'm not working out, I guess I'm sedentary.
    4. MFP tells them 1200 calories, and they don't even eat that.. then they work out on top of it.. creating an even bigger deficit.
    5. Lose a lot, fast, brag about 1200 calorie success.
    6. Come back in a few months trying to figure out why they're dizzy, tired, not losing weight.
    7. Get on the forums, ask why they aren't losing.
    8. Get two responses (I eat 1200 and lose) (I eat 2200 and lose)
    9. Argument ensues about who is right.

    Now. That being said. These threads happen hundreds of times per day. Most times, and I mean really.. seriously.. 95% of the time.. people get the 1200 number because they don't put the right information in when they set up the account. There are a great number of people that are trying to help. I'm one of 'em.

    I'm a hardcore advocate of actually finding out what works for the individual.. by means of other calculators, averages, time, practice, and patience.

    Blanket prescriptions of 1200 calories "because it worked for me" is more harmful to the generic new user than the "figure out what you need to eat." Unfortunately, one is a LOT easier to type.

    Also this:
    This is from my friend's page. He's lost 153 lbs...

    So this is my big scary secret for weight loss:

    Follow that thread, read through it carefully, give it a try for a few months and thank yourself later.
