Any normal people here lol?

I'm seeing a lot of "friends"are going low calorie to where it's
Completely unsustainable! Im talking 1000 and less! I find that ridiculous to stick to.
Anyway, I'm looking for normal healthy citizens that would be interested
In exchanging motivation.(: I need some friends that know what they're doing!
Not a bunch of people who expect to be healthy living off of 300-1000cals a day!
Not trying to offend anyone I just think the low cal epidemic is setting up people to fail

I agree with you. That kind of calorie deficit is a little bit too far on the extreme end.

Agree!! Supporter here

I'm 5' 2", net around 1500, and I eat my exercise calories. I'm happily losing my last ten pounds slowly. I never go hungry, I never feel deprived, and I know I'll actually be able to transition into maintenance without gaining back all I lost and more.

i would consider myself normal: 2000 a day.....but I am struggling to meet that goal. not that i am not eating but finding it hard to get to that count.

I'm normal. At least when it comes to calories intake. I eat between 1700 and 1800 calories a day, and I eat most of my exercise calories. I love working out way too much to starve myself. Feel free to add me.

I eat carbs. I eat from the time I wake up until the time I go to sleep. I eat between 1500-2000 calories or more.

Read my profile. Send me a request if interested.

I'm super normal then because I'm at 1700 plus cals a day. Who eats 300 cals a day? yikes!! I would be in the newspaper front page Lady Loses Her Mind!!! Add me if ya like :happy:

Yep, pretty much what everyone's said on here... I'm "normal" enough (hehe), feel free to add me!

I will have the occassional day where I have under 1200 but very rarely. I like food. I like to eat. And I don't like the way I feel when I don't get enough calories.

lots of normal folks, really. I tend to eat a tad under my limit of 1700 daily, along with 30ish minutes of working out five days a week with a 90-minute sixth.

How can those people even walk around?? I feel so dizzy and light~headed on like 1300! My BMR is around 1100 something:noway: ! You gotta fuel the body! Not overeat like a glutton, but, healthy eating! Ya think those people got some "ISSUES" maybe

May you all have success in all your endeavors!:drinker:

I'm not exactly "normal" (I can be a bit crazy and kooky) but I do love to eat, and never met a calorie I didn't like or want to consume !!

I don't support the whole I ate 900 calories every day this week and burned 2000 cal each day and lost nothing WHY?? folks!!
I think it's stupid and unhealthy for sure.

I see questions like this all the time. It's one thing to ask what your doing wrong if your eating enough an exercising
But it's just ridiculous to eat such a low amount and then wonder why they feel like crap and aren't losing.
Personally I think it's common sense. Shock like that is not good for the body nor healthy.

There are some ways to do it that are healthy. Currently I'm on an 800 calorie a day plan (closely monitored by my doctor, of course). He makes sure that I get all the necessary nutrients and my body isn't having any negative reactions. I drink minimum 64 oz of water, and get 30 minutes of cardio 4 days a week along with some strength training and I've never felt better in my life than I do now. Not to mention this is NOT a permanent situation and will only last a couple more months at most

Granted, I do agree with you that the people who go out and cut the food they eat, thinking they can eat a granola bar for breakfast, a bagel for lunch, and a piece of chicken for dinner and call it a day and think that's ok are completely nuts!

I do like food (that's how I reached my high weight.. ugh) and I can't wait until I get to start eating a more "normal" amount of calories again, but from my point of view, a few months of a very restricted diet will be worth it in the end and it gives me a chance to distance myself from food and give myself a sort of "reboot". Just wanted to put in my 2 cents :]

id like to think im normal loll!! i have about 1200-1600 calories on a given day. been steadily losing, and im glad to its FAT that im losing and not muscle. slow and steady wins the race

I just downloaded the app for the Iphone and have only been doing this since Wednesday. It's taken a few days but now I'm getting the hang of it and have my calorie intake under control. The first couple days it had me clocked at over 4000 calories but I'm down to about 2500 which is the amount the app recommended.

I lift weights and jog at least once a week each.
