Be careful to drink MORE water than before. Eating less dehydrates you.

Stick to unprocessed fruits and veggies to ward of constipation and get vitamins and fluids, eat lean protein (I'm buying turkey ham with 0 fat right now, there's also tofu and chicken, etc), and nix the starch (rice, pasta, bread). Take a multivitamin, perhaps iron if you have anemic tendencies.

You must be tall. My normal calorie intake is 1400 and my diet one is half that.

Nobody's caloric intake should be 700 calories. Your metabolism must be so jacked up. [/quote]

Agree. Such terrible advice from the pro-ana crowd here.

OP, your body is just adjusting. It'll take a week or so.[/quote]

Once again, criticizing people you don't know, whose shape and metabolism you don't know either. Way to go.

I'm a slim and petite Asian. I'm healthy, but thank you very much for judging!

NP here.  Why in the world would a slim and petite person of any race come onto a thread about a person dieting to lose weight and gloat about how they subsist on 1400 calories and diet at 700?  According to USDA guidelines, the average woman needs 1600-2000 for healthy weight management.  You are so small and below the median that your caloric intake cannot possibly be close to average or close to the caloric intake of a person who is heavy and trying to lose weight.

Why in the world would you come here to rub your low caloric intake because of your diminutive size into the face of someone who is heavy and dieting?  How could it possibly be pertinent or helpful?[/quote]

Agreed. How utterly weird and irrelevant. And well below what a normal, healthy, and fit/active adult woman should be eating.

These comments are childishly emotional. You wouldn't react this way if deep down, you weren't jealous, which is unhealthy. Everyone has to feed the body they have, so no one should be jealous of anyone else! Stop criticizing others just because they have different needs.

Great, you have your needs, but they are clearly not what OP (or most women) are after. Why interject yourself into a conversation that has nothing to do with eating like a child?

I can assure you, having been almost 200 lbs and as a size 2-4 now, I have no desire to be a "slim and petite Asian" (though I'm half part Asian, but whatever, that's not something anyone can control). I want to be fit, strong, healthy, and energetic. That means consuming about 2500 calories for the kind of active lifestyle I lead now. And I love it. It sounds like OP is on their feet a lot and thus needs a moderate caloric intake to lose weight, which is more in the realm of active people like myself (and other pps), rather than someone who is more concerned with being slim and petite, instead of fit.
