yeah I have heard 1,200-1,400 cals a day on a strict diet. But, even me im terrible with rules. I generally eat about 1,800-2,000 cals. a day and im still loosing weight. Im a vegetarian as well (about 2 yrs), I have modified my diet so many times!!!! I was doing what you were doing for awhile- cutting out complex carbs. Sometimes I realized I wasnt eating those type of carbs for a week at a time. But, recently my hair started shedding im not sure if its related. But, it probably is in one form or another. We really need to balance our diets as vegans/vegetarians! God intends for us to enjoy all natural foods- grains, veggies, nuts, fruits, legumes. Theres nothing wrong with these. Just modify them into your diet in a smaller amount if that makes you comfortable. This is what im doing in addiction to multi-vitamins!
