In this week’s episode, I talk about low calories diets...in particular 1200 calories diets. It’s around this time of year that we are bombarded with marketing messages promoting weight-loss diets, but is 1200 calories a day enough to sustain a healthy lifestyle? I explore this here.


I discuss:

  • Where the notion of 1200 calorie diets being ideal for weight loss originated (3:22)
  • Why low-calorie diets are problematic (7:30)
  • Whether consuming 1200 calories a day is enough to maintain hormonal regularity (19:40) 
  • Basal metabolic rate and how this affects your total energy requirements (21:36)
  • How to eat more food without guilt, shame, or fear of gaining weight (28:23)
  • The benefits of eating more that 1200 calories a day (32:20)
  • Why you are worthy of eating more regardless of your shape and size (35:39)
