How do 600 pound people eat 1200 calories?

[Anonymous]

I watched my 600 pound life and the doctor put them on 1200 calories per day. How are they able to do this? I’m trying it out and I weigh 230 right now and I’m 5ft 10in I want to lose 100 pounds. I find that I’m really hungry at night in bed. Has anyone tried 1200 calories? I really want to get my weight down for my health. I put on a lot in quarantine last year.

How they do it? Well my guess is they are so overweight that the only quickest way is starvation. However, when you starve yourself instead of setting up a diet and workout regime, you will fall back into old habits. I was 250lbs in my senior year, after months of reading, i got involved in the keto diet. Use fat to burn fat. However with that diet, i had to be drinking over a gallon of water a day. When i got to my lowest of 6.5% body fat and 139lbs, i decided it was time to bulk up.


Then i read an article on Bodybuilding that talked about using carbs before a work out. So i would have a cup of oatmeal with whey protein. It would be sufficient to get me going through the workout. Right after the workout, id have myself a huge steak with rice and beans. Protein and carbs will be your best friend when trying to bulk.


Use an app that is called MyFitnesspal. You can mess with that app regarding your calories, fat, carbs and protein intake. Depending on your goal. I wouldve uploaded pictures to show the progress i made. But unfortunately i can right now cause of my Expert Level on the app.

Hunger satiety and the amount of calories consumed aren't equal. Water, timing, etc. Has a high impact as well. If you stop eating entirely for a week, after 4 days you won't feel hungry, now drink some coke and you will be omega hungry.

You have to train your stomach to abide by this caloric intake in order to abide by such a low cal diet. Try eating veg stix at night when hungry. You can do this!

The thing is that Dr. Nowzardan stresses that they need to increase the amount of protein in their diet. Protein is key for keeping you satisfied and not hungry.

Once you get adjusted to 1200 calories, it isn't real difficult.
You need to eat light meals several times a day and find really low calorie foods to snack on.

If your hungry, you might have a chemical problem or Imbalance that keeps you hungry such as leptin resistance.

Basically requires supervision and constant support.
