Calories...       05/08/05 07:16 AM Edit Reply Quote retrograde Reged: 04/15/04 Posts: 1569 I would say that's really not enough AT ALL. Most medical lit says that it's not safe/healthy for women to go below 1200 a day and even that should only be used in extreme cases where losing weight is necessary to the person's health (or survival). Also keep in mind that most medical lit also says that it's not safe/healthy to drop much more than 1 lb/week. I did my own calculations for fun on formulazone and came up with a similarly disgustingly low calorie intake recommendation. Personally, I weight about 125 at 5'3", am fairly active, and really need 2000 calories a day. I'm not really trying to lose weight now but if I was I'd drop down to 1800ish. There's a really good article that Alicia (HansSolo) posted not too long ago on this forum about why extreme calorie cutting diets are no good for weight loss - in that, they don't really work because most people just gain the weight back (with interest, so to speak) because by cutting calories you're slowing down your metabolism - i.e. your body's ability to burn calories.
