I was interested in this challenge until I saw you recommend going UNDER your suggested daily caloric intake. I guess who don't know better is following along. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED YOU GO UNDER YOUR SUGGESTED CALORIC INTAKE! Especially if you are working out. You NEED energy (calories) to exercise for endurance and to hold proper form. When you go under your calories your body goes into "starvation mode" and the reverse happens; it holds on to the fat for "survival." Please do your research. There are a lot of blogs regarding this topic right here on MFP or just google it. EACH ONE TEACH ONE.0

You do not have to eat back 100% of your exercise calories. It takes a while for the body to go into "starvation mode" as it says in many of those blogs you speak of. There are plenty of people that can exercise, eat healthy and stay under in the "suggested" calories. I am not able to eat back ALL of my exercise calories nor do I want to. I have been at this for 3 months now & my body hasn't gone into "starvation mode" and I normally never eat all of my "suggested" calories. I am losing at a good rate --average one pound a week-- by doing this. Please understand that this challenge is to get you staying in a healthy calorie range--you can eat up to your daily intake but not go OVER, doing exercise, and getting fit at the same time.0
