Ht. 5'8, Wt. 160 - hey! ive been following a diet of 800-1000 calories lately cuz that was the only way that i could lose weight but im always hungry and of course i know its so bad for you to go below 1200 calories but i just couldnt help it because i was losing so much weight. But now, ive decided that im really harming my body by not getting enough nutrients so i want to boost it up to 1200, but im scared that i will gain weight from this because my metabolism is slow. Im really really worried about this...do you think i will gain from starting to eat 1200 calories from a 800-1000 calorie diet?? I need advice really badly, thanks!

Reply from Blaire, Age 16 - 10/10/05 - IP#: 68.158.4.xxx the fact is you will gain BUT if you do things to speed up your metabolism in a couple of days you wont have for instance do cardio and otehr exercises and then eat every hour, but something small like a piece of fruit or something and that will make you speed up your metabolism and you shouldnt gain anything from it but if you do then work out a little more

You definitely won't gain weight eating that much. even if you did gain a lb this week and started losing again next week, it doesn't affect anything, whereas not getting nutrients now will affect you for the rest of your life.
