    I love it, I hate when so many people are eating right around 1200 and so happy when they are below it and wonder why they aren't losing much!

    I tried eating at 1200 and my weight stalls. my BMR is 1458 and that seems like a whole lot trying to lose weight quickly. I try to alternate the higher day and 1200 day now so my body doesn't think its starving.

    I couldn't have said it better! I did these things and they worked for me (and they are still working for me in maintenance as I focus on building more muscle). Thank you so much!

    Thanks so much for sharing. I have been trying to stay below 1200 calories and I am now 214 pounds. I guess I need to increase my calorie intake :happy:

    Perhaps you have heard this before but the calorie count you noted is well below your BMR. For example, I am at 178 pounds, at 1810 per day and still losing weight. Who needs to feel miserable and hungry all the time? I have typically 500-1500 exercise calories per day, don't eat them all back and so the trend line is down on the weight. Can't see why someone at that weight needs to be at 1200 calories to lose weight. Just saying. Good luck on your journey.

    Did he say to eat to maintain and then exercise will make you lose weight?

    Im confused because if I eat say 1800 a day and then exercise away 400, that nets me at 1400 and very close to his definition of starvation? Is he contradicting himself or am I just misunderstanding?

    Thanks for the post though OP, I like having different perspectives to think about :flowerforyou:

    This is pretty good, but as a nutrition major, I can attest that almost all Americans get more than enough protein in their diet. Don't need to worry about it, and don't need to supplement if you've got a relatively normal diet.

    As I believe I have reached the PLATEAU, this was very helpful. Thank you!

    I hit plateau at 138 and went back up from there :(. Its a struggle to get down. I do exercise, its just my eating and training.
