My diet in consisting of 1100-1300 calories a day. On average i am losing about 2-4 pounds a week and sometimes 5-6 on a good week.
Even though it does not sound like a lot of calories, i'm making sure i eat something at least every 2 hours even if its just a satsuma.
Touch wood, its working so far0 -
1200 calories but I usually eat about 800-1000 calories. I do not eat the exercise calories I earn. My loss so far is around 2-4 lbs a week. I do have a special treat day each week...those calories for that day is about 1000-1200 calories.1
