    I did an 1000 kcal diet a few years ago until I got to a healthy BMI (by losing 10lbs). It only took me 3 weeks after losing and gaining the same 2-3lbs for over a year! I lost a little muscle but my muscle percentage actually increased due to my fat loss- being female would probably mean not much of an impact on my muscle though as it’s not as huge a deficit. I was also lifting heavy weights 3 times a week during it. I exited it by going up to 1250kcal for 2 weeks, then 1400 for 2 weeks and then I did 1500kcal 3 days a week and didn’t track the rest of the time. I lost a further 4lbs over the exit period. I maintained it well for 18 months until things happened and I went back to emotional eating. Life is a lot more manageable now and I’ve decided to go back on the 1000kcal diet tomorrow and then reassess after 10 days. After that I’m considering doing 1000kcal 5 days a week and then maintenance calories at the weekend to make it more manageable- and an easier exit once I hit my goal weight. I have 20lbs to hit that so it will be a longer journey this time.
    I used to believe slow and steady was the best way but I found hunger more manageable on 1000kcal a day and it really made me think about the nutritional content of food. I knew 1tsp of olive oil was relatively high calories but would make my salad more satiating. I also worked out which carbs worked best for my body and how much protein helps to curb hunger. I also found making very low calorie soups to have during weak moments helped.
    I’m looking forward to seeing how you get on and how you decide to proceed.

      @@jt.633 The gradual calorie increase just meant I wasn’t losing as fast- my maintenance level even for a lower weight is around 2300 calories a day (I’m short but I lift heavy weights and run). So I just made sure I exited the calorie deficit gradually so my body could adjust.

    Thank you for this information. I was 220 when I went to the Dr. last. I am on a strict 1000 calorie a day diet. I eat 1 cup of plain oatmeal with berries for breakfast. I usually eat plain fish or tuna on a plain piece of wheat toast for lunch. For dinner I will eat a salad that I prepare with lettuce, tomatoes, strawberries, cucumbers, blueberries, and one measured teaspoon of Italian dressing. I will report back in a month.

    Flip I enjoyed every minute of this. I'm actually doing this right now, doing a 40 day on a 1000 calories with extreme focus on nutrition and protein. I use AI to navigate through this, to assess my meals, give me a health rating daily, and make recommendations nutrition wise. After week 1, I lost my appetite. This is a weird anomaly for me. Cravings gone, brain fog lifted. I can manage pilates, stretching and walking right now. I'm pre-diabetic, and nothing the doc recommended worked, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. Wish I could consult this doctor to compare notes. I am well aware of reverse dieting and will transition back very slowly. The main goal for me was to get out of the danger zone.

    I been on this diet for three months. Have lost 54lbs so far. I started at 380lbs now im 326lbs. The trick to this diet is, You have to eat 3 meals a day or its hard to stay on. Im use to it now and going to stay on it for 3 more months. My energy has went throught the roof!! Im no longer taking diabetic meds or colesteral meds. Had talk with my doctor about this before i started. He said if I had the bypass surgery it be pretty hard to have a 1000 calories a day, and they do that surgery everyday. He said focus on protien and fiber and you will loose alot of weight. Yes!! your going to loose muscle weight also, But that can be repaired after the weight comes off my doctors words. Folks for those of you that was really over weight like i was, DO THIS before you try the bypass surgery its not as hard as you think!!!!

      Yeah, the ideal to me would be fresh grilled meats/veggies for all meals. So the food selection was less than ideal for this but in a way that’s why I think it worked. It was realistic. I wasn’t having chef prepared meals, I still had to work, I don’t have real meal breaks on some of my days so this more closely reflected the “real life” experience. I’m hoping to go live tonight to discuss how I’m doing since relaxing the restriction a bit.

    For the last 30 days I've been doing about 100-1200 calories and working out lightly most days with a 12:12 window but only lost 10 pounds. I'm so disappointed in that loss, and more upset that I seem to be stuck at the ten pound mark. Not even a whole stone :( It's rubbish. So 800-1000 calories with increased workouts and a 16:8 window for as long as it takes. Hell, if my PC told me to do a month of water fasting with vitamins, I would at this point. I'm trying so hard to lower my BMI and reverse prediabetes and HTN, and I know it can be done if I work hard enough. I'm only 4'11, so I unfortunately have a very long way to go to get to the desired 100 pounds I should be for my height.

      10 pounds is a great result for a month. I am 5'4" so I understand the frustration with the low calorie limits for smaller people. You might not be getting enough protein which can send signals to your body to lower your metabolism. You should be getting 80 to 100 grams of protein per day. Also, I don't know how old you are but I am in my mid 40s and noticed a lack of ability to lose weight with the same methods I used when younger. I went to a hormone doctor and took supplements and hormones so I could get back to optimal hormone function ( this has a direct result on ability to lose weight). I take the following supplements now: vit D, B vitamins, DHEA, omega 3s, magnesium. I also take 90 MG Armour thyroid daily and progesterone, as well as a low dose testosterone cream. I have a lot more energy and am able to lose a half pound a day on 800 cals ( I don't keep calories low consistently though because this would slow my metabolic rate). I also add in an hour or two of strength training per week to help maintain muscle mass. I also had gestational diabetes in the past so please recognize that anything that spikes your insulin will reverse your weight loss. I don't use artificial sweeteners and maybe have 1 fun size candy per week. My sugar intake is mostly from blueberries in my protein smoothie every morning. If you look at theglycemic index of foods ( foods that spike insulin) you will realize that the worst offenders are thi gs like corn chips, popcorn, bread and almost any starch. My carbs come in the form of fruits, vegetables and beans. I try to stay away from rice, corn, bread, etc.

      You probably miscounted your calories, because you should've lost a lot more than 5 lbs. That's at least a 1500 calorie deficit at your size, which should have you losing 3 lbs per week, resulting in a 12 lbs loss in 30 days. I'm 5'6 and lost 9 lbs in 3 weeks at 1400 calories per day.

      ​@@Lenfal About 6 years ago , I had lots of measurements done on some fancy computerised machinery at the gym. This was to determine my metabolic rate. This came back as me having the resting metabolic rate of an 80 year old, circa 1400 calories ie I am have a very sluggish metabolism to start with, which is why when only eating 2 decent lowish carb meals a day in a 18:6hr eating pattern I was still putting on weight, month after month. This is not the first diet that has more or less failed me. About 25 years ago I did weight watchers and was on 1500 calories a day with my wife strictly monitoring what I ate. I lost nothing, month after month. The weight watchers bods said I must by lying or cheating. I wasn't.
      23years ago I did the Atkins diet and it worked well, I lost 20 kgs and many inches on my waist. The next time I tried it I lost nothing. The first time I tried keto, I lost a lot of weight and was not calorie counting, 5 years after that after putting a lot of weight back on, it did not work which is in fact why I started this 800-1000 low carb fresh food only with quality meat diet.

    I’m currently doing this. A few days in. I’m not counting to a thousand. The past few days I’ve only had 300-500 calories a day. Today I had 1000. My plan is to only eat one meal per day which is dinner. My job is kind of perfect for it. I wake up in the morning get ready, skip breakfast, travel to work on the train which takes an hour. My job is part time so 2-6. It involves a lot of walking, so I’m not very sedentary at work. I don’t have a lunch break at work which is great for this. If I’m not doing extra hours, which I often do, I get home at around 7-7:30. So when I finally do have dinner it’s not too long before I go to bed. So there’s not a lot of time to be indulge in extra calories, which I’ve avoided doing. I know that only 300-500 calories a day is not healthy but I kind of want to see what will happen

I never feel hungry, my blood work is perfect, my blood sugars are very stable, and feel awesome while still being able to build muscle now that i am fat adapted meaning my body uses fat for fuel. There is no such thing as essential sugars. As such, I don't listen to doctors.

    I’m experimenting with 1000 calories a day right now. I’m eating 8 ounces of meat a day plus 3 scoops of unflavored whey protein which is 25 grams of protein each, one egg, plus a tsp of grass fed butter and three shrimp for added flavor. I eat this as one meal a day in the morning first thing. Then I go to the gym and do a 2 hour full body workout.
    My job is a second shift job so this works perfectly. Since I eat all the food for the day pre workout I feel totally fine in the gym. The food is calorically dense so I’m not stuffed or anything. Been doing this for weeks now.
    Oh and I take 5 grams of creatine a day and a scoop of unflavored magnesium powder but these don’t add any calories. The whey protein comes right after the solid food. If I drink the whey while eating the solid food or before it makes it harder to eat for some reason.
    I’m at 191lbs now and started at about 203lbs. By the time I’m in bed I have mild food cravings, very mild. When I wake up I don’t even feel hungry for some reason. My sleep is good. My goal is 170lbs or so. If it starts to feel unsustainable I’ll add beef liver which should help with missing micro nutrients.
    I’ve tried one meal a day and not counting calories or tracking protein in the past and it was totally unsustainable. The higher protein makes a huge difference. Also in the past I had too many carbs with my meals and the blood sugar spikes and dumps made me super hungry. When I lay in bed at night now I can feel my stomach and love handles caving in, active fat loss I assume. My protein is .8 grams per pound of weight and the science says anything above this is a waste for building muscle so I’m hoping muscle loss is practically zero with all the body building style of weight lifting. Yep this is working out very well so far ❤
    oh also I’ve totally quit caffeine recently. This messes with hunger too. I don’t think there is anyway I could do this while drinking coffee, no way.

Konjac noodles for rice, peanut butter for icecream, apple cider vinegar for apple cider, cashew milk for soy milk etc. Most of them are so low calorie yet filling that you unintentionally stay below the 1000 mark.

      1g of protein is 4 calories, so it's impossible to eat 120--160g of protein and stick to 300 calories or less. If you only ate pure protein and got absolutely no calories from anything other than protein (a rare to impossible feat), the max protein you could eat in a day and achieve exactly 300 calories is 75g. If you want to avoid muscle loss while on a calorie deficit, shoot for .8 to 1.2g of protein per pound of your ideal body weight (e.g. shoot for 180g of protein daily if your ideal weight you're trying to achieve is 180 pounds). Depending upon metabolism and how much energy you're expending via cardio, lifting, sports, etc., you could still lose some muscle depending upon the degree of your calorie deficit, but that rate of protein intake can really help to minimize muscle loss.

See Gary Taubes and the entire keto/carnivore community. You're shocking your body into lowering the metabolism which exacerbates the problem of fat gain. The very fact that muscle mass was lost during this diet is evidence enough to bin it. If you ate high fat/protein and low carb the fat would fall off, muscle mass increase.
