Hi All,
I am very confused.
DR. A talks in his book about the metabolically challenged going on 1000 calorie a day diets, fat fast etc.

Then we are also are told that if we don't eat enough we won't lose! Which is it???
I have a hard time eating enough and am wondering if I should worry about it or just carry on. I usually eat about 1200 cals a day which according to my current weight is not enough expecially now that I exercise!

Have been in a 6 week stall.

Anyway just wondering what others thoughts are on this....
Everything you read says calories do count to some degree. I have been on Atkins for five months and have done very well so I am quite happy and feel great but just wondering what others think about this. I guess I shouldn't be complaining about no appetite NEVER had that problem before
