Does any one know an easy 1100 calorie a day diet?

I think most people on here would say 1100 calories isn't enough, and I wouldn't have thought that would help in changing your eating habits, meaning that you will be hungry the whole time you're dieting, and the second you stop you might eat even more and end up weighing more than when you started. I think the lowest people on here eat is usually 1200.

If your eating habits are really bad you might find the changes last longer if you eat more calories and the weight loss will definitely last longer if you lose it nice and slow?

Don't do an 1100 Calorie diet. It's too few.

It's only 10 pounds. Even losing it slowly, at 1/2 a pound a week, will take less than six months. And you'd not even notice the 250 Calorie deficit needed to achieve it. Especially if you add a couple workouts a week to your routine.

It'll be healthier and more sustainable.

But you aren't going to listen to that. Because, like all of us, you're impatient and want results now.

I have stuck by that calorie range for the last 8 weeks and have lost a stone.

My usual good day:

Breakfast: 1 weetabix with 200 ml skimmed milk (145 cal) or Two peices of small bread (56 cal each with 1 tbs honey)- 160 cal

Snack: peice of low cal fruit (tangarine, cherries, strawberrys NOT bannana) (50 cal)

Lunch: Soup (no bread- if so then small pitta) (150 cal) Snack bar i.e. special K bar (80/90 cal)

Snack: Usually something quite sugary as I crave it around now so maybe yogurt cranberrys (measured) (100 cal)

Dinner : Prawns/Chicken/White fish no batter/Salmon/weight watcher meal (NO RED MEAT) with noodles/stirfry/spinach/new potatoes/baked potatoe/ measured pasta/ with home made tomatoe based sauces (300 cal usually)

Desert: weightwatchers pudding (160 cal) / 1x marangue nest with strawberrys/rasberrys (70 cal)


I stick to under 500 before dinner, which allows me 600 for dinner and dessert (religiously) but then if i go over at lunch then ill have a healthier dinner

Start at least with 1200. 1100 is too low.

What does slow cardio mean? I have heard that the best way to burn fat is interval? What does every one find works? And what machine? I also heard that if you dont do more than 30 mins dont bother. That your body doesnt start burning fat until after 30 mins - is that true??

Not true about the 30 minutes, I have heard 20 minutes but also had great success with 20 minute work outs before I moved on to the 45 minute workouts I do now. I have seen MORE success from working out for longer but you have to treat it like learning to walk as in you start out small to build yourself up to the big stuff.
If you throw yourself straight into 60 minutes of circuit training per day you will burn out if you don't have the fitness level to accommodate for that, which few do straight away and you need to build up your stamina and muscles to be able to cope with it or you will just injure yourself.

My advice if you are going to the gym is to do 5-10 minutes on each machine and find out which ones you like best, then make yourself a little workout routine up that you will follow every time you go. Again, start simple and low so you don't over do it.
If you want to do it at home, there are plenty of brilliant workout DVDs for circuit training, cardio, etc. or you could consider starting running every day/every other day and first just do 20 minutes, then after 2-3 weeks up to 30, etc.

You will kill your metabolism. I was on a 800 calorie diet for months and didn't drop a pound and I was exercising like mad. I hired a trainer, he put me on a 1600 calorie diet and told me to cut my work outs from double days to once a day and I dropped weight like it was nothing.

1100 calories isn't too little for some people. I've talked to dieticians also who say depending on your height and current weight and your own personal metabolism, 1100 is reasonable. Although it's not really advised for people who generally eat more than 2000+ because for starters, you'll feel like you're starving and won't probably stick to it

if your only eating 1100 calories your going to be quite hungry so you would have to eat filling foods that are low calorie, lots of veggies, lean meats like tuna, chicken or turkey, non fat yogurt, some fruits, soup,

yea, not doing 1.
