[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good job, OP. I've lost 27 lbs in about 6 months, but [b]I started out a healthy (not overweight) weight. I just wanted to be super skinny and toned. [/b]

My advice- increase your workouts. 1 mile is a great start but 3-4 miles 3-4 times a week and weightlifting on off days will really give you some great definition.

Personally, I think you're losing out by cutting coffee. Coffee is very healthy and also suppresses appetite. [/quote]

PP can you please provide details on your  regimen? 27 pounds in 6 months, congrats! [/quote]

Sure, I aim for 1000-1400 calories per day while losing weight (I do periods of maintenance, for example, through the holidays).

Work out at least every other day very aggressively. For example, run 5-7 miles, kickboxing, orangetheory once a week, and weightlifting at least once a week.

Sleep at least 8 hours.

Key to my diet is eating 600 calories or less during the morning and workday. [/quote]

This is disordered. Eating 1000 cal a day while running 5 to 7 miles is not healthy by any stretch.[/quote]

I agree 1000 to 1400 calories is a diet for skinny models. [b]No idea what this person is trying to do.[/b][/quote]

Read the bolded.

This person is not healthy & I would not follow his/her advice unless you want to look sick (& quite possibly end up in the ER).[/quote]

I'm the person that posted that regimen. You all are overreacting. I don't restrict all the time.  I restrict for a period of 2-4 weeks and then am normal again. As for what I'm trying to do, I am trying to be a size 2 with 17% body fat. It's working. [/quote]

New poster here...you are going to get pilored PP :) ... the comments above make me think about 2 other threads 1/ how gen X and millennial see a perfect body. And how people now see skinny as unhealthy and stronger as the new ideal; 2/ the comments about french and Japanese women. And the regular misunderstanding I see about the amount thin french or Japanese women eat (yeah, closer to 1000 cal each time they see themselves going above a size 2 _ I am the french woman who keeps trying to tell dcum that cigarettes is not the key reason why french women are skinnier, it is that they really onteat much)

Anyway, was just chiming in to say that I hear you PP, if you want to be a size 0-2 you need to have regular 1000-1400 calories days... no mistery..andthats not necessarily a good idea for certain body types[/quote]

But to be treanpsarent, adding to my previous post : that s exactly what I am doing.. going through regular1200-1400 cal a day for 1-2 weeks whenever I go above my goal weight of 116.. and it works. [/quote]
