It is 1200 and then your body will go into what is called 'starvation mode' which can be a metabolic slowdown of up to 20%- or so I have heard.
The fat fast that is described in the Atkins book for folks who are metabolically resistant to weight loss is only 1000 calories a day-that has always caused me to wonder if 1200 is wrong or if fat makes your metabolism say I am not slowing down?
