[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 566246, member: 14557"] 1200 kcal is really little. It is difficult to stick with so strict diet and even more difficult to be able to keep the weight after so strict diet. Okay, I don't weight 120 pounds, haven't since I was a girl. I'm close to your current weight but I may be taller than you (closer to 5'10") and mostly wear your size 6. I eat something like 2500 to 3000 kcal daily, sometimes more. I would be hungry and cranky and cold all the time with 1200 kcal and wouldn't feel like doing anything. Of course to use that amount of energy I need to be active and exercise and I also have more muscle mass than many women. But 1200 kcal is so much under even the energy consumption of women who are not active that is it really wise to try with so strict diet? Yes, it may be fun to have weight go down quickly, but with so strict diet you are loosing much of your muscle mass and that will make it even harder to keep weight down later. Muscle uses much more energy than fat even when you are not actually doing anything. Would it be possible for you to eat little more and exercise a bit? It is rather easy to exercise enough to use more than 2000 kcal a day and you could eat 1600 or 1700 kcal and still loose weight quickly. And exercising also helps with mood and sleep and makes you feel more energetic and is of course very important to your overall health. [/QUOTE]
