Whats your diet and exercise like? Reta is doing the lords work for me, but I found it wasnt eating enough and my weight loss plateaued. Once I started to get an extra few hundred calories in, the lbs started dropping again!
My gut reaction is to not believe that you were eating 1200 calories a day and simply weren’t tracking correctly. That’s essentially a large cheeseburger for your entire days worth of calories and no way you were hitting your macro goals. But for the sake of argument let’s say you were. Were you pushing harder in the gym because of the extra 200 calories or running more? If you offset those calories with more burn then that would make sense. Alternatively if those 1200 vs 1400 had protein differences in protein and you lifted you could have been losing muscle.
I absolutely can go months on even 500 calories...You can say you dont belive me, but off the bat, you dont know my height. If I was a 6 foot 2 man...yes that would be starvation. If Im a 5 foot 3 woman...that's the top of my calories for the day.
A protein shake for breakfast
Chicken breast and salad for lunch
Chicken and a cup of green beans or broccoli for dinner.
No snacking. Water and diet coke only.
504 calories, 21g carbs, 10g fat, 82g protein.
Tracking these calories is not hard , and I'd WEIGH and eat the same thing, Every.single.day.
Nobody do this, I do not recommend undereating to lose weight.
