[quote=Anonymous]I find it absolutely crazy that people are claiming 1500 calories are too many. I have lost 10 pounds of fat (DEXA measured) in 10 weeks eating on average 1700-1800 calories. I started the diet at 139 lbs and ended it at 132 lbs shredded. Based on my Fitbit my calorie expenditure was about 2100 calories on rest days and 2500-2700 on workout days. I was doing no cardio except walking, just lifting heavy stuff. Point being, you don’t need to starve and spend days on a treadmill to lose weight. With regard to OP, if you are measuring your food correctly, you should be losing. If you are not, it might be that the scale is not showing it due to water shifts or that you simply aren’t in a calorie deficit. If that is the case either cut your calories further (would not recommend, 1500 is already quite low) or increase activity without adding more stress for your body by adding long walks for example.
