I am not a previous poster, but I dont' see anything wrong with living on 1400 cal. Some people just don't need a lot of food. I don't like to feel overstuffed, I don't like heavy foods that makes me feel tired and sleepy. I do workout 5 times a week at least and I have tons of energy. I am in my 40s and my weight beign between 115-117 all the time after the last child. I do fast some days (0 calories), so 700 calories could be very fullfilling if it is a nutritious food. [b]For people who eat 2000 calories and saying thay are skinny, I don't believe it. You probably skinny by american standards only.[/b] [/quote]

Honestly this just makes me sad. Have you ever heard of exercise? I don't mean doing yoga 2x a week. I eat about 2500 to maintain, because I not only burn calories when I exercise, but at this point, it's also revved up my metabolism when I'm just sitting or asleep.

While I am a size 2-4 (at 5'3"), you can determine if that's "skinny" to you, though I don't really care. I can tell you that I have zero desire to be skinny, and that being skinny has no appeal to me. I much prefer being fit - and there is a difference.

Fasting, eating little, and being skinny, and not exercising has no appeal to me. That sounds like such a sad way to live. [/

PP, yes I exercise. I used to run a lot but stopped due to the knee injury during skiing accident. I take spinning class twice a week, do TRX once or twice a week, boot camps every other week or something like power playground, and then yoga and Pilates 2-3 times a week ( I do barre classes occasionally instead of Pilates). Why are you assuming that someone who eat 1200 calories is necessary unfit? In addition, I am very active with my kids on weekends or vacation, I ride bikes with them, swim in the pool or beach, go hiking, diving, skiing, kayaking, paddle boarding.It is funny that my lifestyle makes you sad. I don't live it for the sake of being skinny. I have a desk job and seat sometimes 10 hours a day, so I physically can't eat a lot. Fasting doesn't make me sad, it makes me happy ( I do fast for religious reason). If I eat 2500 calories, I feel like my colon is stuffed for days, and I don't like that feeling. I like to be light, if it makes sense to you. I do fill full after few bites and I can't shovel the entire plate at any restaurant. After I full, food doesn't taste good to me. Sometimes even one sushi roll is too much and I share one or two pieces with kids. But I do love food. I cook a lot and we travel a lot, so I never limit myself from any group of food. I don't diet, I eat very balanced meals. [/quote]
