you need a diet that starts you off with a good, big breakfast. no matter if its where most of your calories come from, breakfast is most important. then the rest of the day, eat healthy food like lots of fruits and veggies and whole grains instead of refined or other grains. you can have snacks if you're still under 1500 cals, but make sure its a 100 cal pack of something yummy! and i don't really think that its that good for you to stay under 1500 cal, but you can try! maybe raise it to 2000 and exercise more if you're trying to lose weight also.

900 calories is a bit low. You need at least 1200 calories everyday. Otherwise your body goes into "shock mode" and will stop burning calories and start storing fat and your body will start to eat muscle and organs, so if you do lose weight, it will be muscle weight (and since muscle gives you tone, you will not look very good) I suggest you eat a healthy breakfast which should be about 300 calories or less(if less, make up for the other calories by munching on fruits and veggies throughout the day) this is important because it gets your body in a calorie burning mode. Then eat the lean cuisine or some other healthy meals for lunch and dinner and do some excercise of course With this plan, you should lose about 1-2.5 pounds a week! (which is considered the perfect rate of weight loss

What you might like to do since you lost 16 pounds is you might like to go on a 1200 calorie diet and loose 2 lbs a week at a save rate.   There is a diet that calls for 1600 calories.  400 meat  400 vegetables 400 calories fruit and 400 condements or somes times other stuff.  Stay away from sugar and use sweet and low.best.  What ever you decide to do do it healthy and not fast as you will only gain it back later.  weight is a life style for ever.  get to your weight you want and try to keep it there .  Suger is a bad thing.   Priscilla  Ps I think 130 would be better for you. Make your decision in the reality phase not what friends say or do.

I wouldnt go lower the 1200 calories, as long as you are not preganat or nursing, however please not that your body gets used to eating 1200..or however many... calories you consume, and adjusts your metabolism acordingly, thats why ever since the low cal/low fat diet made its debut in the early '90's we have become more obese, I would try to exersice 3x aweek, 20-30 mins, eat healthier, but not nessarily lighter, and more frequesnt meals but stop eating past 7pm, consume lots of water and avoid splenda, nutrasweet, products, they have a whole host of other problems associayted with them.  If you are over wieght you may want to do a 24-48 hour fast to break sugar cravings, fast on fresh friut/vegatbles and water for 1-2 days then slowly re interduce foods, this will flush toxins out of your body and should jump start you 2 lbs or more, if your diabetic, or have any serious health coindition, please consult a doctor before making ANY dietary changes.  If you still insist on going low carb, the "3 hour diet" is the way to go, he works to keep your metabolism going and gives you a menue for around 1400 calories per day, Jorge Cruise wrote the book, you can look it up on amazon, there youll find rewies

fresh veggies, all you can get.\n\nno more than 1200-1500 calories a day, you need to feel hungry nearly all the time.  OK, go crazy one day, have the ice cream, but then back to it.  No eating within 5hrs of bed, this is a model's mantra.  Empty the fridge of anything tasty.\n\nexcercise... multiple goals, no doubt.  walking is just about the best calorie burner for the buck.  Adding mass (muscle) will burn fuel faster (read increased metabolism), so as time permits, would add squats/lunges, and core resistance excercises.  Fat burning doesn't happen until the carbs are gone (30 minutes of walking), so weights first, walking second.\n\nMax safe weight loss goals, roughly 2lbs/week, you can do it, but it will be tight.

Around 1200 calories per day.\nBut it gets worse, what kind of calories?\n\nYou need to make sure it is balanced enough so that as you lose weight, you don't lose your current muscle. If this happens, as soon as you come off the diet, you will gain weight back + a few pounds.\n\n\nAs stated above, it is best to consult a professional.\n\nI have a book out right now that only cost 30bucks and it covers weight loss in depth.

Have a slim fast shake WITH your meals\n\nThere are also weight gain products that you can get from stores like GNC that work well.  Each shake has about 1000-2000 calories

recommending 800-1000 cals a day, could potentially  be very dangerous for some people so, perhaps you shouldn't recommend it?\nhowever, cutting down on your sugar and cals ( to no less than 1400 cals) and increasing your excercise levels is a great idea. well done!

Around 300 calories, that would put you at 1500-1800 per day which is about what one needs to maintain their weight. If you start losing or gaining then you will know you need to alter your calorie intake but that is a good place to start. :-)

If you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories women & 1500 men \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \nAll food choices need to be low fat\nDon't make food a big deal and don't socialise using food\n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - multigrain sandwich w 50g tuna/lean meat & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g-150g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 women & 1800 men and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

That's only about 600 or 700 calories and not healthy to be doing for 14 consecutive days.  Why don't you try the following for two days instead?...\n\nEat only fruit and veg (except bananas, beans, peas and corn) and as much as you want.  You can even have stir fry veg in a little olive oil or salad with a little dressing.  Also, make yourself a big pot of vegetable soup and include cabbage and celery in it.  Do not drink any alcohol.  Drink lots of water, unsweetened tea/juice or herbal tea.  You will lose 2lb each day and will also be detoxing your body.\n\nhttp://www.freewebs.com/spiritualhealing
