1200 Kcal Is Too Low

1200 Kcal is too low for a fat loss meal plan! ????

Let’s cut the BS. ????

Some might argue that 1200 calories a day is too low for a diet, but it really depends on several factors - your age, gender, weight, activity level, and metabolic health, to name a few!

For some people, particularly small-sized women or those who lead a sedentary lifestyle, consuming around 1200 kcal a day is suitable for weight loss, under professional guidance.????

Studies show that reducing caloric intake by about 500 calories per day from your maintenance level can lead to safe and sustainable weight loss of 1-2 pounds per week.

So, if your daily maintenance caloric requirement is about 1700 kcal, bringing it down to 1200 kcal can help you shed those extra pounds. ????

However, it's critical to ensure that these 1200 kcal are nutrient-dense to meet your micronutrient requirements. Think lean proteins, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats.??

Remember, drastic drops in caloric intake can trigger your body to enter "???????????????????? ????????," slowing metabolism, leading to muscle loss, and making weight loss harder to achieve.

A 1200 kcal diet is not for everyone, but under the right circumstances and with professional guidance, it is needed for some!

A caloric deficit is not just about eating less; it’s about eating RIGHT. Stay strong, stay healthy! ???♀???
