Hello! I was just wondering if anyone on here default 1,000 calories per day and has an open diary? I need some new meal ideas , getting pretty bored with my diet.

    Assuming you are accepting advise, you've set your goal of weight loss way too high. Set it to lost 1/2 per week and you calorie goal will be much more realistic. :)

    You're not even allowed to do that here. We're not qualified to discuss or promote VLCD.

    It's important to eat enough to fuel your body. For a simple place to start, you can calculate your BMR here: http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/ and use that as your MINIMUM net calorie level.

    Everyone wants to lose weight quickly - but you are on a path to failure right off the bat. Losing the weight slowly and sensibly is the only way to keep it off and enjoy a normal lifestyle.
    1000 calories a day will only be a temporary weight loss.
