does anyone have a 500 to 800 cal diet plan i can use, at 1200 cal i do not lose any weight?

Answer 1

See a doctor. A 500-800 calorie plan can be dangerous

Answer 2

At 500-800 cals your body goes into starvation mode and won't shed weight. Instead, it'll hold on your body fat even more so because you're not feeding your body enough to function efficiently and properly. 1200 cals might be too low depending on your height and weight. This might be why you aren't losing anything. I agree with the other post here that you should increase your cal intake but space them out throughout the day as 5-6 minimeals.

The act of eating and digestion burns cals. The more you can get this mechanism going, the more you'll burn and ultimately you'll raise your metabolism by doing so. Higher metabolism means your body will start burning more calories than usual. And eventually this will start burning off excess fat.

With a raised metabolism you'll burn more in just sitting, in sleeping- in everything you do. Other ways to increase metabolism is through exercise. If you hate the idea of exercise- then go out for regular walks (daily for at least 20-30 minutes). Also - some weight training is a great way to rev up your metabolism. Toning your muscles inherently kicks up your metabolism through the tearing and repairing muscle tissue aspect of weightlifting. On top of that you become toned which physically is an added bonus in reshaping your body the way you want it. The secret to weight loss is move more + eat less.

Of course, you can mess up this formula if you become too extreme with either of those factors. If your body becomes overtaxed because you go too much one way with one of those factors (the eating or the exercising) your body will resist change because it senses stress and deprivation and then goes into survival mode.

Also be aware of what you're taking in at 1200 cals. Is your diet healthy here? What kind of calories are you consuming? Are they a balanced proportion of carbs, proteins and fats that can leave your body and mind feeling satiated after every meal? Or is it an unbalanced diet that isn't feeding your muscles and mind well enough to do their jobs?

Just remember starvation mode will do you no good in the long term for your weight loss. One good way to go is with a healthy support group. Weightwatchers is a great way to go as is Peertrainer.com.

Answer 3

Once you decrease your calorie intake, you body will adjust because you are starving yourself. Instead of "needing" only 1200 calories a day, it will reprogram itself so that it only "needs" 800 calories a day.

Your body will burn calories if it uses up more calories in a day than it consumes. Try this instead of a low calorie diet. Consume 1500 calories a day, space your meals so you'll have 5-6 meals a day, by ahving many meals your body knows it's always getting food so it won't save any as fat.

Go to the gym 3 times a week, so some cardio and some light weights, by building some muscle your body burns more fat.

I know it may sound counterproductive by me telling you to eat more, but it WILL work.

Answer 4

The reason you're not losing any weight is because you're not eating properly. 500-800 cal diet is extremely dangerous. You have a problem so please see a dietician. A proper diet plan with the right amount of exercise will help you to lose weight.

Answer 5

I did this for years and really messed up my metabolism. It would take literally a month to lose one pound. I went on Atkins and actually didn't count calories only carbs and lost 50 pounds without starving one day.

Answer 6

A diet that low in calories should be medically supervised.

Answer 7

perhaps if you exercised also
