Need help..Body Cleanse with 1200 calories

hi

what are you eating, and what are you stats (weight, height,sex)?

Lots of water and protein, for energy, cut the fiber and move! The weight will follow, good luck!

Is this a huge increase in your fiber intake? My guess is your body is adjusting to the fiber and you are not eliminating much if anything right now. Increasing fiber intake needs to be done slowly. Any time you do it all at once, you can cause a back up of gas and everything else! How much water are you drinking? Water intake needs to increase as fiber intake increases.

Give it a little more time and a lot of water, and it will all catch up with you.

Sometimes these diets are just gimmicks. Though yes it is true fiber does have it's place in weight loss so does calcium. At least mabe your weight is not going up and you could be losing inches v.s. pounds. I know that exercise is key to gain muscle which helps with maintaining your metabolism. It has only been a week so you could see a difference in another week. The calories are a guideline and also what kind of fiber are you eating, from veggies and fruit or added to food fiber. I have had experience with working out for the past 15 years min.
So I do have some knowledge on these things. Also make sure you are getting your water and if your sodium intake and suger are high it can add trouble as well. These are some of the guidelines I go by and over the past 36 days being on this sight I have seen inches and weight, loss. Hope it helps and be blessed.

1. Change it up,
No matter how your routine is change it up when you hit a plateau, unable to se a change in your body or weight. Sometimes our inches change when our weight doesn't. You can do this with exercise or with diet. Sometimes it is as simple

2. Never eat after 8 pm,
I have found that if I eat even 1 tiny piece of chocolate after 8 pm, My body retains it. So I only drink water at night. If you have to, eat something like a small salad with 1/2 a tablespoon of light dressing that you actually mix in before you eat so it doesn't just sit on top as a blob.

3.Eat nuts,
When I was starving one day and I didn't want to binge on unhealthy snacks I ate a handfull of dry roasted unsalted peanuts and I didn't gain weight! It is the super miracle food, and good for you.

4. Skip the soda,
I try to skip soda at all costs, I allow 1, 12oz diet pepsi at dinner and that is all. I used to be a 2 liter a day soda drinker and it absolutly pained me to quit drinking, but when I did the weight just melted off.

5. I keep the suger low,
I make sure that when I eat there is a daily deficit of suger in my diet because there is a TON of hidden suger out there. Food is not an enemy but this website is great because it makes yo aware of what you are putting into your body.

6. Cheat,
That is Right, I said cheat!!! Find healthy alternatives to what you crave. I used to add just a little bit of juice to my water to make it taste better because I didn't like the taste of it. When I craved sweet I forced myself to eat a piece of fruit and I was shocked when it actually worked to stave off my sweet tooth.

7. Cheese and turkey are your friends.
It is great as a protein and somehow unlike milk it has none of the sugar! Make sure it is low cal and 2%. I have found pre shredded mexican blend personally to be the best choies. Hormel Turkey pepperoni and Kroger Turkey Bacon, 65% less fat have added seriously awesome flavor to sandwiches along with Orowheat sandwich thins. And as a family of 5, me being the only one eating these things, I have been able to strech them out as well as it is not extremely expensive.

I'll leave you with this and if you have any more questions I would be happy to help.
Best of luck, and may the dilligence of your efforts be fruitful.

you might be in starvation mode OR it just hasn't been long enough.
