I started the 17 day diet today. For those of you who have done this, how do you reach your 1200 calories?

I just ate lunch and I've done both my fruit snacks. Even with what I have planned for dinner, I won't reach 1200 calories. Itll be more like 1000. How do you do it?

I'm not hungry. I'm eating til I'm full... Not overstuffed. Any tips? I don't want to go into starvation, but I do want to lose weight.

Some background: before this diet, I had already cut carbs from my diet, so I'm used to the lack of them already.

    I was on that diet. I used to have to sneak in more olive oil in here and there to gain an extra hundred calories!

    I'm not going to be able to help you with that one. I have no problem reaching 1200 calories. Most of the time each of my adds up to 300 or so calories. Maybe someone else will give you a tip.

    Nuts are brill, just a very small 25g portion of unsalted mixed nuts is around 155 cals if you really want to get the cals up & good for you. :smile:

    You aren't allowed breads, pastas, or rice on first 17 days- I did that for awhile and would eat more protein rich foods that were allowed

    Yep protein dense foods, you might have to make something, perhaps a protein shake or something of that sort.
