A diet of 1200 calories may be difficult to stick to. However, if you are short and have a low resting metabolic rate, 1200 calories may be your only option for weight maintenance.
I was listening to a podcast this morning from a Bodybuilding nutritionist who was asked how she stays on track with her diet when she is in a calorie deficit.
I expected her to say she eats a lot of vegetables or low-calorie foods or drinks diet soda, but she said something MUCH BETTER!
"You have to love your life between meals more than food," she told me.
You need to make some changes if your oatmeal is the BEST part of your day."
I couldn't agree with you more,
I enjoy reframing in this way. I don't have time to think about food when I'm busy doing things I enjoy, and I don't mind if what I'm eating is boring.
