Trust me when I say that if you're used to eating 2000ish calories per day, then cutting that by 50% or more will not do you any favours. Your BMR is likely far above that, so you'll be putting your body in a lot of danger. This is how eating disorders develop. Plus, suddenly going into such a severe caloric deficit will pretty much set you up for a relapse. The general rule of thumb for weight loss is to eat 80% of your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE - higher than your BMR because it factors in activity level as well). Weight loss and fitness should be treated as a long-term behaviour change. No point going for it at all if you can't sustain it for months and months. Make gradual changes over a long period to give yourself time to adjust to your new lifestyle. Everyone thinks they'll have the willpower to change their diet cold turkey. No one does. I thought the whole point was to have my BMR to burn my fat for me as energy if I don't got enough? --- https://imgur.com/Su4g5 https://imgur.com/21DiJ <cite>Sexypwnstar posted [p:941716608] in I don't ge...
