Will Not Eating Enough Calories Affect Skinnier People Moreso Than Heavier People?
I weigh 224 pounds and have been consuming 1,200-1,500 calories a day for 3 weeks so far to start losing weight: have lost 6 pounds so far (I also walk for 30-45 minutes a day) I’ve been reading that it’s not healthy to go below 1,000 or even 1,200 calories a day, but nobody says why. I figure that I have the extra fat to burn if my body needs it if I don’t quite get 1200 calories in a day, say 1,100 somedays. Is this safe to assume? I realize that by not getting my calories I may not be getting my nutrition, but this isn’t an every day occurence, and I wanted to make sure I don’t jeopardize my weight loss or health by not getting that 100 extra calories on some days. Thanks for your help.
I used to weigh 230 lbs. at the begining of may, now i’m 164 lbs. 5′8 1/2 and still losing. I never counted how many calories I should have, I just got foods that didn’t have much or any at all and no fat. Buy light, fat free, and diet foods. Also my secret is I used:
Xenadrine NRG 8 hr diet pills
Power 90/P90x …..www.beachbody.com
7day cabbage soup diet
and if possible start doing weight watchers points…here’s a helpful website….www.dwlz.com
Do them all at once, so even if you think your sliding, you have a back up plan. This is the only way I have succeced in weight loss.

I asked my doctor, my trainer, everyone. The response I got was, take your multivitamins, and try to AIM for 1200
if you are + or – 100 cals you are doing AWESOME.

If your intake goes too low your body will go into starvation mode and make it really hard to lose weight.
I recommend using your own instict when it comes to how little to eat.
stick with 1500 calories per day
