Hiya, I've posted this in the Walsall Massive thread but am putting it here as I realise everyone won't read the sub forum ( am new to forums and a bit slow on the uptake!)
In order to get as fit and light as I can for surgery I started a low fat diet on 11.01.10 and have been sticking to 1000 calories a day. A few days ago I got the Rosemary Conley GI Jeans Diet and her kick start diet is 1200 calories a day for 2 weeks then you go up to 1500 per day. She reckons if you go below 1500 for more than 2 weeks your body goes into starvation mode, you muck up your metabolic rate and weight loss slows right down. Well I don't get it. Surely after wls the calorie intake is less than 1500 per day and weight loss looks pretty fast to me!
About how many calories are the post op diets and what do you think of the starvation theory?
