Hi Guys I'm new to 3fc - and I'm lovign the advise and support here so far! I"ve chosen to follow a low cal diet as my method of weight loss - my question is I've read that 1200 is the lowest a women should go with otu a Dr.'s supervision- I originally started out at around 1400 cals a day- But I always felt too full like I was eating to much- granted I still lost a lot of weight- but I also kinda thought to key to eating healthy was stopping when your full..
I felt satisfied around 1200 cals a day.. I started out at 306 three weeks ago I am now 291 Do you think 1200 is sufficient for me? thedailypalte said I should be at 1600-2000 but I just don't tihnk I could swing that..
I have set up an appointment to talk to my Doctor at the end of this week- But I'm wondering what i should average in cals a day untill I see him... I don't' want to nutritionally deprive myself untill then
but I'm pretty good abotu what I eat everyday- no cheat foods and lots of fruit and veggies, lean meats (no red meats) whole grains when I eat anything with carbs such as bread, pasta or tortillas like I get the whole wheat 45 calorie sarah lee bread, and the 50 calories low carb wheat torillas. and I minimize those to only one or 2 servings a day...
What do you think?
****EDITED NOTE**** I decided to jump back up I now for the last two days have ate between 1400-1500 cals a day- So I'll sty around there until I talk to the doc! thanks guys!
