[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trainer and nutritionist here -  no one should be eating a 1200 (or less) calorie diet unless they are under the supervision of a physician.  Also, carbs are not the enemy.  I’m so tired of reading this. [/quote]

Cool story bro. I’m one of the posters above who suggested keeping to 1200 by eating a ton more veggies. I had 10 pounds of pregnancy weight to lose and my fitness pal told me 1200 calories a day and made adjustments for exercise. I stuck to it and lost about a pound a week and then went back to eating a maintenance amount of calories. What, in your opinion, should I have done differently? I am 5 ft 2 btw. [/quote]

DP.

You could add 300 calories to your diet and some moderate exercise ( 30 minutes a day?) And lose .5 pounds a week.

1200 calories is insane! You can do it no doubt, but very few have to do this to lose weight. You certainly don't(even though it seems like you are doing a better job than OP at making the calories nutrient rich).

If one is doing this, one has to eat very clean. With this little calories, there is little room for junk. Oherwise one would not consume enough vitamins and minerals. OP is not properly nourishing her body at the moment( where are the vegetables?) She has no business eating only 1200 calories a day. [/quote]

Who wants to take 20 weeks to lose 10 pounds though? At the time it was worth it to me so people would stop asking me if I was pregnant. I was eating a ton of veggies and didn’t really feel hungry between meals after the first week. It was worth it for me to just get it done. [/quote]
