hi. for the past few weeks i have been trying to lose some weight. so i cut my cals down to 1200-ish.. i didnt keep count before as to how much i was eating before, but it was probably well over 2000.
i havent been able to do much exercise, cos i am real busy and work every day. but i have been doing quite a bit of walking recently. and i plan to go running. i cant afford to join a gym at the mo.
anyway. i read somewhere that eating between 1000 and 1200 cals is just not enough..and thats basically sending your body into starvation. as it needs about 1000-1200 just to function.
the idea of eating 1500 or more scares me a little..but do you think i am not eating enough cals?
i am 20. i weigh 122lbs & am 5 '4...apparently i am in the healthy weight range..but i still feel fat most days. and wish i could be fitter/leaner etc.
