Okay. I have to put this out there... If you are on a diet of 1200 or less calories per day, please read this information carefully! What you are doing is dangerous to your health! I'm a witness of it as ex-anorexic who used to live like that... and who had some of those side affects, luckily not permanently...This is an article from livestrong.com If you starve yourself you will eventually overeat...

Negative Side Effects of Eating Less Than 1,200 Calories a Day
Last Updated: Jan 20, 2014 | By Lynda Lampert

Negative Side Effects of Eating Less Than 1,200 Calories a Day
Low-calorie weight loss can be 30 percent muscle.

The idea of a low-calorie diet might tempt you because it seems like the quickest, surest way to lose weight. It certainly isn't easy, but it will get results. However, many negative side effects come along with restricting your calorie intake below 1,200. Some side effects are minor and will pass with a good meal, but some are more serious and can land you in the hospital. Do not attempt a low-calorie diet unless you are under the strict supervision of your doctor.


Calorie Needs Explained

Your body needs a certain amount of calories to carry out vital functions. If it does not get those calories from the diet, it can start to break down its own tissues for energy. To figure out how many calories you need per day, multiply your ideal weight by 12 if you are not very active or 15 if you are active, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. To lose weight, aim to eat around 500 fewer calories per day than your body needs to maintain your weight. Eating less than that will lead to side effects.

Minor Side Effects

Eating less than 1,200 calories per day will send your body into starvation mode. Do not attempt this sort of diet without the supervision of a physician. Some side effects are minor in comparison to others and transitory. They can become more pronounced depending on how much you restrict your calories. Some symptoms of severe calorie restriction are weakness, fatigue, cold intolerance, irregular menstrual periods, dizziness, constipation and swelling of the hands and feet, according to "Nutrition, Exercise, and Behavior: An Integrated Approach to Weight Management."

Major Side Effects

Gallstones are caused by going on a severe calorie-restricted diet and losing weight too quickly. Often, you will need to have surgery to remove your gallbladder if this happens. Gout, or a painful inflammation of the joints caused by high uric acid in the blood, can start or become worse from low-calorie dieting. Since you are not taking in the proper amounts of vitamins, proteins and electrolytes, you are at risk for malnutrition disorders and electrolyte imbalances. Sudden death is a very rare but possible side effect from extremely low-calorie dieting.


Long-Term Considerations

Low-calorie diets force your body to take energy from other sources. You are more likely to burn muscle than fat because your body needs protein, according to Healthwise. This lowers your metabolic rate and makes it more difficult to lose weight. You are also not likely to stay on this type of eating plan for long, and you will eventually go back to your normal eating patterns. All the weight will come back. Furthermore, the electrolyte imbalances will cause your body to leach calcium from your bones, potentially weakening them and leading to osteoporosis.

Thanks for sharing! I've been eating with a 'soft goal' of right at 1200 cals/day because it worked well for me in the past with no ill effects -- some days it's less (but usually only then because I'm truly not hungry), some days (like today since I had a family celebration dinner) it's more . . .

Very good post! I wish everyone could be made to read this, especially young ones. The important thing is to be healthy, not skinny. Not all of us are meant to be skinny! Body shapes vary. And healthy weight loss is slow, 1 or 2 pounds per week. Losing weight too quickly either means a rapid water loss, or that something is wrong.
