Oh yeah, if 1200 is your BMR then it will be fine for a longer period of time. For those whose BMR is over 1200, not so much. A 1500 cal BMR will decrease as weight decreases, no need to fast track the process. The solution to dealing with a low 1200 calorie BMR is exercising (and eating the burned calories on top of that)…

I wouldn't really go as far as to say "forever". At some point 1200 will become your maintenance. How long have you been eating 1200? If you do up your calories after some point, say to 1400, you might gain a bit at first. If you were a skinny kid it might work for longer than usual. But still, to maintain your 'end/goal'…

In my late teens I lost 15 pounds in a little over a month once eating 800 calories, no exercise and hardly any carbs. But that didn't last long. In fact it came to a screeching halt and my body didn't look that great, just slightly "smaller". So if you're eating 1200 and say, burning 400... you're basically consuming 800…

You'll be happy if you always net your BMR. Right now it might be 1200, or 1500. But whatever it is, net that number. It will get lower as you lose weight. Perhaps every 5 or 10 pounds. Once you get into a lower weight it will be closer to 1200. Until then, net your BMR as it is. Refrain from netting 1200 right now if you…

You might want to try doing pilates (videos at home or a class). This can perhaps lengthen the muscles and make them appear smaller. Excess cardio will break down muscle if you are already in good shape. Otherwise it will just mess up any fat loss goals. If you want to go the extra mile, this might seem slightly…

Alright, here's the thing. I've been in your same position for a long time. About 6 years now and I am 24. I would definitely NOT eat less than you are right now unless you plan to stop exercising. Your BMR is likely 1400-1600 based on the little that I know (I am 170lbs and my BMR is 1560) Check out your hormones like…
