Hey so i heard less than 1200 calories a day isn't healthy or it will be difficult for me to loose weight?
Although i have been doing this for like a month now maybe a little bit less and have lost so far 6 Kilos(13.3 Pounds).

Whats your guys take on this?
Should I continue what i am doing?
Should i add 200-300 Calories per day to my diet?

Thanks guys cant wait to hear your answers.

    Very unhealthy - even more so for an 18 yo man. :noway:

    I'm 5'2 woman and I eat more than that to lose weight.


    You'll be losing a high % of muscle mass along with some fat - never good.

    Have a read of this thread

    What is your height, current weight and goal weight?

    Losing weight is only one part of the equation. Achieving good health along with maintaining are the other parts. The goal is to lose weight, achieve good health, and maintain that lifestyle for the rest of your life. My take is you should read the link post above and implement those suggestions into your weight loss plan because 1200 calories is not going to do it for you.

    You wanna join the Israeli Army, gotta eat waaaaaay more so you can train properly so you don't drop like a fly during basic (or their version of it).


    You're 18 and a dude.
    1k is absurd for a 60yo woman.
    Eat more.

    For a woman, 1200 calories is the minimum.

    You're a man, which inherently requires more calories. You should probably be eating at least 1500 calories, at the very very minimum.

    I suggest you find out what your calorie needs are.

    Are you an 18 year old male?

    1000 calories a day is too low for him - your comment is neither relevant nor helpful :noway:

    I suspect 1200 is probably too low for you as well - feel free to read the sexypants link posted above.
