    Hey Moomoo - check out that sticky post that cmriverside referenced. It might help you - and yes, somehow, you need to be eating more calories than that. If you have to add some carbs or whatever, some people can't function well on extremely low carb - some can. :flowerforyou:

    Thanks for this post - it's very helpful. I was considering eating less than my 1200 so that I could lose more weight quicker, but I'm glad I read this before trying that.

    cheers! :drinker: <--water!

    Well, if you're classified as morbidly obese, you can go a little higher in calorie deficit, but no way you should be as low as you are. 1300 when MFP recommends 2100 means (I assume you chose 2 lbs a week) you have an 1800 calorie a day deficit BEFORE you add your exercise calories. You're metabolism's probably in a panic, slowly, SLOWLY, raise your calories to what MFP suggests. I.E. over the course of 3 weeks or so raise your calories about 100 every other day. When you reach the total MFP sets, keep it there for a while (maybe 3 weeks to a month), if you don't see improvement, again start adding calories for your exercise.

    This was a truly fantastic post - although it will take me a few more read-throughs to grasp all of it!

    Thanks! (and bump!)

    Ok, haven't bumped this before. My turn.

    And yes, it works. If you're not gonna eat them, set your net higher than 1200.
