you guys know how long it takes to start loosing again when you up calories? Thank you today and always!!

I have been eating a nutritious but LCD diet lower than 1500 as low as 600 at times(without proper knowledge for sure no ma intention I didn't realize at the time in retrospect actually it was a function of life circumstance) for 5 years maybe yeah. I'm going up to 1200 now after learning more here after have being been at close to that low for a loooooong time.

I'm totally bloated overfull and gaining(not needed part of it is financial extra healthy food is more i dont have) but determined to be healthy and still need loss not gain :(

Do you guys know how long it takes will take for me to experience weight loss again
combined with better health(hopefully though all my tests are have been normal so I don't know if I will)?
I hope I can afford this!! I really am uncertain doubting yeah if it's going to work so ........
Sincerely and utterly look forward to your informed experienced perspective :)

Multiplicity of thanks again!!

    Calculate your TDEE. Take away 20% of that. Never eat below your BMR. Your body will cling to its fat reserves if you go too low--it's a defense mechanism. If you're working out, I am guessing you will HAVE to eat 1500 daily at least to lose. Very few peoples' BMR is at 1200, so you are likely still not getting enough fuel for your body. Good luck!
