National studies in the area of weight loss have shown that most
people try to lose weight by consuming too few calories. By popular
opinion, the operative calorie count seems to be about 1,000 for both men
and women trying to lose weight.
Cutting calories to fewer than 1,200
calories a day, however, may be sabotaging your effort to lose. The
reason for this is that if you are not full, or satisfied you are
going to cheat on your diet. Also, it undermines your vitamin intake of
such important nutrients as magnesium, zinc, B vitamins and folic acid.
If you want to lose weight, up your calories to 1,200 and be satisfied
with slower weight loss but longer-lasting results for a healthier
you.
