Common questions
Why isn't my 1,200-calorie diet working?
Dr. Sims explains that 1,100 to 1,200 calories is roughly an average resting metabolic rate, the energy you need lying in bed. When you eat that little, the body perceives a threat, conserves energy and breaks down lean mass. Women often see more belly fat, puffiness, poor sleep and no response to training.
