[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are not eating enough and your body has gone into preservation mode!

Eat a few hundred calories more - there are websites that can help you calculate exactly how much calories you need to ingest in order to lose weight. Keeping a journal is extremely helpful at the beginning until you can guesstimate correctly the amount you eat.

Make sure you cut out all animal fat, sugar and most salt (except after a heavy workout session). Keep the healthy fats in moderation. Lean protein. Green vegetables (less roots). Less carbs. Water. Sleep. Cardio and weight training.

This is a myth. If the OP weighs 200 lbs., it will take a long time and a lot of weight loss before she goes into the mythological starvation mode.[/quote]

Your initial weight has nothing to do with your body's immediate metabolic reaction to what it perceives as starvation. This is triggered when the caloric intake decreases suddenly and significantly. Eating around a thousand calories daily is widely recognized to be the cutoff for most people. I have experienced this myself.[/quote]
