    If i may give you some advice.
    Diets don't work. At 1300 calories what you'll do is slow down you metabolism and than putt all the weight back you have lost.
    Increase you"re calories and exercise more.

    I was just following MFP's recomendation of consuming 1290 calories to lose 2lbs a week. Of coarse if I exercize I would eat more. If I don't exercize I will still have a calorie deficit. However I've just recently discovered that I cannot maintain on a 1300 calolrie diet. I have no energy and I just feel like sitting around and I get SUPER hungry and want to start to binge. If I add at least 300 calories on that I feel soooo much better. If I exercise I add more. As long as I don't go over 2100 calories I should still lose weight!!! That's just me though people. You all have to figure out what is working best for you. Good luck!!!

    Thanks! Over the years, I have lost sight of what food portions look like. This is a welcome start, many of the foods on this list are part of what I consume daily (in much greater proportion!). I am going to work on a menu for a week and give it a go!
    Thank you!

    What happens when you get bored of it? Eat the same as before and watch the pounds pile on?

    It's probably helpful if you need structure to start with, but I'd die from lack of variety. There is so much wonderful, healthy, tasty food out there, and at some point you're going to want to eat most of it. I'm not sure this would help build the habits that let you eat the variety and keep the weight off..

    What's with the portions? Bunny food. Half of an English muffin? Why?

    To Nicsflyingcircus: Not to be rude or anything, but your sample diet is not very healthy. First of all, you are not giving yourself the nutrition you need in the morning and because of this, you end up consuming most of your calories of the evening. I understand that this diet may work for you, but for most people it just wouldn't cut it. Also, there are just way too many unhealthy food choices...nobody needs a hamburger AND a chicken breast at one meal. Most days, your calorie count exceeds 1300 calories, so it wouldn't be appropriate for somone needing a 1300 calorie diet.
