Where Do We Get The Energy From?

[vanilla-cupcake]

I have little restriction at the minute but am just wondering when I have hit the 'sweet spot' and am able to eat very little where will I get all my energy from?

I read the band menu's everyday and some people seem to eat very little im just wondering where do you get all your energy I have 3 children :family2: and need every bit of energy God gives me lol

Also, we are suppose to consume around 1000-1200 cals a day, are all of you eating this amount?

Thanks

Hi Kate

It does seem that the banders with little restriction are not eating very much but its the type of food they are eating that keeps them full for longer.

I do aim for 1,000 to 1,200 calories a day, I sometimes have more (when excercising but not much more) and sometimes less.

you would be suprised how little food we actually need to survive, us humans have learned to become greedy and we do not need the amount of calories that we think we do.

Never thought of it like that, I suppose when you think about it years ago they didn't have the food we have now and they got by!

My restriction is so tight at the minute that I'd be lucky to be having 800/900 cals aday. 420 of these are from the slimfast shakes, 100 from the spot of sugar in my cuppa and the rest from half of weetabix or a little mash with gravy.I don't feel hungry and I'm energetic so don't feel the need to up the cals.
