1200 Calorie Diet???? Seriously???

The ONLY people that need to restrict certain foods are those that have medical conditions that require restrictions. In that case, a doctor, dietician, or nutritionist, SHOULD advise those people on what to cut out of their diet. EVERYONE else can (and I would say SHOULD) practice moderation.
Ummmm, it says what is says. If you don't agree with that statement, cool.
Geez, I actually thought I was being pretty chill in my comments to you, so if I offended, that was not my intention. Again, best of luck.
I stick to what I said in this statement. If limiting or restricting carbs from your diet helps you lose weight, then by all means do it. That does not mean you NEED to restrict carbs to lose weight. If somebody has diabetes and their doctors says to restrict carbs, that doctor can refer them to a dietician or nutritionist to help them do so in a healthy manner.0 -
I am on a 1200 calorie diet... this was the recommendation of my Physician and Nutritionist.... What you say is about starving myself to lose weight is the farthest thing from the truth...
In fact if I eat much over 1200 calories I gain weight and am extremely stuffed... When I first started this I was eating about 1600 calories which is what MFP suggested... I just could not lose any weight and in fact was gaining weight... (yes I know... muscle weighs more than fat... but....).... so I finally broke down and went to my doctor who made this suggestion, then told me to go see a nutritionist...
I WILL TAKE MY PHYSICIAN AND NUTRITIONIST'S ADVISE OVER PEOPLE HERE!!!!!2 -
if you are over weight be more aware of what your eating and work out a rought amounts of calories your on per day and decrease it by 200 calories every 2 weeks unless still losing weight then there is no need to decrease it.
try and get your self in a pattern 3 snacks + 3 main meals the (snacks can only be one thing)
if you miss something you cant make up for it later and never have calorie drinks when on a diet because it is just mindless calories
breakfast
morning snack
lunch
afternoon snack
dinner
evening snack
Seriously????:explode:

Am I the only one who caught his statement at the end?: "this is just a guide"...come on people, we're not on here to bash. He was just leaving his input and if it works for him, then good. nowhere in there did he say "this is the only way to lose weight." Everybody has different strategies and diet/workout plans that work for their body type, so try this method or not. it's your choice, but don't hate on him for it.
Agreed, I think we are all basically saying the same thing just nit picking certain words. It's all about what works for your body and lifestyle. If you are losing weight..AWESOME and keep up the good work. If not...change it and try something different.0 -
OP has not thought this through very well...0

New dude arrives and has all the solutions starting with lemon water and low fat dairy?
In for the lolz.
Lowfat cheese is the saddest thing in the world.
Give me real cheese.
For real!
Amen, give me the real stuff any day. Just watch your portion and count it.0 -

Yeah, we are all saying the same thing. It's just that people that are not as educated in nutrition and weight loss might take his "guide" as gospel. Hence, all the comments.0 -

The test is how the low cal dieters gain it all back 8 times out of 10. Those eating and fueling an active lifestyle will watch their peers lose and gain the same weight three times before they reach their own goal, but they'll have a lifelong habit to enjoy.0

NFW! We do not all agree! This MFP, girls. We do not, I repeat, do not all agree on anything. Especially, that if it works, it works!
Kind of refreshing.
Edit: RML didn't agree. I knew it was too good to be true.:laugh:0 -
95% of people who lose weight gain it back.The test is how the low cal dieters gain it all back 8 times out of 10. Those eating and fueling an active lifestyle will watch their peers lose and gain the same weight three times before they reach their own goal, but they'll have a lifelong habit to enjoy.
Are only 5% of people doing what you describe?0 -
MFP had me at 1440 at 232 lbs and 6 ft. I would always eat back some of my calories but lately I have been tired and just no energy. Today I went to the health center at school and was sent to speak with the nutritionist. We decided to up my calories and slow my weight loss a bit. I think sometimes it is too low.0

For a young male gym bunny 1200 is going to be too low, but for a short sedentary women? When I had a back problem and spent a lot of time resting 1200-1400 worked for me. I don't get the 1200 hate on here, that's not crazy low to me, especially for sedentary people. Now I am more active I do eat more, all you need to do to lose weight is eat at a sensible deficit.0

I poked around and he has his own fitness website...he's trying to sell Beachbody/Shakeology and get people to hire him to be their coach/fitness trainer. Nothing about actual credentials.0 -
1. You do not need to "eat clean." (you can eat a variety of foods, lose weight, and meet nutritional needs)
2. Drink the lemon water if you like the taste, but it will do nothing for weight loss.
3. Meal timing is personal preference.
4. You can eat lunch meat and still lose weight. (and be healthy)
5. You do not have to limit condiments. (if it fits into your day, go for it.)
6. You do not have to limit dairy. (unless you have a medical reason)
7. You do not have to limit fruit. (fruit has numerous nutritional benefits)
8. The only reason somebody should be restricting sugar is because of a medical reason. (sugar is carb, so track that.)
1- Eating clean means eating lean proteins and low fat food, not sure what your idea of it was but thats the way to go. Put good quality food into your body and youll get good results from it.
2-Its not so much drinking water with lemon as it is drinking a glass of water. The lemon juice offers added benfits though. Lemon water, or even just plain water, stimulates the digestive system. Lemons are high in minerals and vitamins that help loosen toxins in the digestive tract. The lemons also boost your immune system since they’re high in Vitamin C and potassium. It can also help with weight loss. Lemons are high in pectin fiber, which helps to fight hunger cravings. Lemon juice also helps flush out your urinary system because they increase the rate of urination in the body. Toxins are released quicker which helps keep your urinary tract healthy. The glass of lemon juice help you strt off hydrated. When your body is dehydrated your body doesn’t work right and doesn’t perform all of it's natural functions properly which can lead to toxic buildup, constipation etc.
3-Meal timing is about regulating your blood sugar level
4- lunch meat is loaded with preservatives and other unhealthy ingredients, not to mentioin loaded with sodium which will have you retining water
5-condiments should be "limited" they are unneeded calories that you can make up in other areas
6- dairy, should be limted to reduce fat intake
7- fruit should be limited to 2 servings a day, alotof fruit is high in sugar
8- sugar if not used turns to stroed fat as does excessive unused carbohydrates.7
