This is actually a picture of the thermometer on Husband's smoker! I knew it would come in handy for a post topic someday :)
Two Weeks Ago:
Someone recently told me that women are "supposed" to consume only 1200 calories per day. I decided she must be right and made 1200 my aim.
Yesterday:
I had a heart-to-heart with myself and confessed that I can't do it. I consume 1200 calories (eating my healthiest) by 2:00 each day. That leaves my 4:00 snack and supper left to go. I seriously need to eat every 2 hours. I guess I have a maniacal metabolism???
So, I started to think something was wrong with me since I would most likely take on a hideous pallor and promptly faint each evening if I only consumed 1200 calories throughout the day.
5 Minutes Ago:
Then, I found this website and discovered that I am only supposed to limit myself to 1200 calories per day to achieve extreme fat loss, which I want to achieve about as much as a sunburn.
I can still consume 1500 calories and achieve gradual fat loss, if I so choose. And if I don't care to burn any fat, I can keep to a steady 1900 calories per day and remain within a healthy range. Perfect!
The Conclusion:
If that spiel bored and/or irritated you, maybe you should join me and go here :)
Go for the 1900-- life is too short to be hungry all the time...
ReplyDeleteI agree with Melissa.
ReplyDeleteI know all about calories; I did a 1200-calorie diet when I was 20. It was a torture, although I have to admit, it had great results.
I might even round it up to 2000!
ReplyDeleteYiota, I don't know how you or anyone else does 1200! It MUST have been torture.
So since i am taller than you, does that mean i can eat more calories then 1900?
ReplyDeleteSURE! (That site I linked to will calculate it for you)
