I only eat 800-1000 kcals a day

… i no your thinking “NO thats not healthy! starvation mode! anorexia! you wont lose weight your body will store your fat in starvation mode blah blah blah”

but listen.

Ive lost 12 pounds so far, got 43 more to go (mainly because i cut out bread pasta butter meat coke and anything with sugar)

i eat 800 - 1000 calories a day and i feel fine… all the time. I have a TON of vegtables, fruit, ryvitas, water, cereal, quorn hell i was even allowed a small amount of chocolate ice cream today! but everyone keeps telling me “its not healthy”. I never have hunger pains or anything i feel great… better than ever actually.

so is this really that bad?

should i be eating more even though i feel much much better than before?

Before i gorged on midnight pasta cheese coke ect now i dont even have a little of any of those things i feel fantastic. i mean i was unable to run a mile every few days now i do a couple a day.

Is this really ‘not healthy’?

you are obviously feeling the benefits of a healthier lifestyle, if you do want to go back to eating more things just control it, which you obviously have an amazing ability to do. You can eat cake etc.. but limit it to once a week and you won’t feel so bad.

Here is a great tool to see what is a healthy amount of calories for you to intake while loosing weight. http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/calo…

It looks at you age, height, weight, weight goal, and activity level. It is a good website to use.
