    I was thinking, could I allow myself to eat one unhealthy thing a day between 500-700 calories but besides that do what ive been doing. It seems like it would work.
    You get to eat whatever you want as long as you stay within your calorie goal. Have that cheeseburger or piece of KFC if you feel like it.

    Hunger signals get suppressed when you eat too few calories.

    I guess it depends on what you want- if you starve yourself to lose the weight, you won't be able to keep it off, so I guess it depends on your goals- if keeping the weight off isn't one of your goals then you're on the right track.
    Oh my gosh, this is SO true! I can remember eating those 1,000 calories a day and not feeling hungry at all. I never kept that weight off.

    You may lose weight at 500-700 calories but you will also likely lose muscle, your hair, your sex drive, your energy, and your metabolism. And then you'll almost certainly gain the weight back.

    This isn't a sprint...it is a marathon. You are trying to get more healthy not more sick.
