I know, right tehehe


Definitely listen to your body! Eating 1200 calories every day would make anyone famished, tired, irritable... 1200 is not sustainable.

I disagree, it is perfectly sustainable depending on what you are eating. I ate 1200 calories for a year and a half and felt perfectly fine 99% of the time. But my calories were also 95% lean protein and veggies. If I had tried to eat 1200 calories of high calorie foods yeah I would have been hungry.

I only upped it once I started working out on a regular basis. even now I'm at 1400.

My falls off the wagon were not due to hunger, but due to other life issues stressing me out so much I went back to old bad habits and overeating.

I totally listen to my body. But it is important to learn what are health signals and what are addiction signals. I find I can now identify changes in hormonal balance from 50 miles away and those are signals that one better not ignore. It depends what the 1200 calories do your body's physiology. Different diets have different effects on body physiology and depending on the health of the individual, this can have consequences. Knowledge is power.
