Here is a link to a 1200 cal daily menu planner.  Take a look at how little food there is.  Most of the dinner portions of protein are 3-4 ounces, there is very little in the way of fats (fats have about 1/3 more calories per gram than carbs and protein).  If you eat anything other than what is on that menu, unless it is celery, you are going over. [/quote]

If you think that's a near starvation diet I got news for you.[/quote]

Well, since the basal metabolic rate for a 70 kg man (around 154 lbs and what used to be "standard" for a 5'10" adult male) is a bit over 1500 kcal per day, a 1200 kcal diet is pretty close to a starvation diet.  A small framed woman might be able to live on that amount long term, but an average man will eventually look like a skeleton, and the woman, assuming she does no activities at all, will be around 110 lbs when she reaches steady state[/quote]

I was on a 1200cal diet and still 160. I had to eat MORE and exercise more to lose weight. "Starving" yourself only results in your body conserving energy and driving metabolism down. Now I calorie cycle and have no problem maintaining a size 4 From my prior size 16 6 years ago.[/quote]
