    1200 calories is appropriate for a woman in a coma. That'd where that number comes from. 1800-2000 calories is actually what your body needs, otherwise you risk not getting all the essential nutrients needed.

    Im 5'2 and i eat 1500 and lose on that. You probably could stand to eat more. I used to eat 1200 and i did have rapid weightloss, but i need more food this time around so im opting for slower weightloss. But if you're losing weight at 1800 I dont see why you couldn't eat more and settle for a smaller weekly weightloss.
