Eating 1200 cals a day and still overweight

That’s an impressive diet plan. How do you feel? It’s quite similar to mine, except for my diary with yogurt and cottage cheese. I eat my veggies cooked though and not as often in salads. I do enjoy a good salad. They can clog me up.

With your knowledge and diligence, I can’t imagine why you would get anything but support and understanding. I get why you are frustrated with slow weight loss though. I feel the same way…..ugh…..

Oh, many years ago, I was under a doctor’s supervised liquid protein diet. Soups and shakes. It was 600 calories a day! Plus, I exercised and drank a gallon of water. I barely lost on it and I know they thought I cheated, but I didn’t. I lost a modest 15 pounds over the summer. I wouldn’t recommend it. My body really hangs on to fat.

I hope you find some relief. It sure sounds like you are doing all the right things. I’ll look forward to seeing your posts. I appreciate your input.

This summer, I intend to have a lot of fun. I’m going to plan outings and events with friends old and new and see if that will help my spirits…..just trying to shake things up.

Thank you. I look forward to your posts as well. A positive, uplifting voice is always welcome 🙂 At first I felt weak and dizzy and had horrible headaches, but as my body started to use body fat to convert to the carbohydrates my brain, and I’m assuming other tissues needed I began to feel more normal again. I assume this will be a long process, and once the excess fat is reduced by quite a bit I’ll have more energy again, which will mark the turning point at which greater liver, muscle/mitochondrial function will buoy me further, and allow more regular activity plus reduced inflammatory symptoms.
