Hi,

I'm 30, male. 1000-1200 cal/day for 23 days. Primarily vegetables and

fruit, mostly raw. Fish the only animal. No dairy. No sugar and salt

added. Cut down on potatoes, pasta, rice and bread. About a tablespoon

of vegetable oil/day. Spring water only. Sometimes fruit juice. No

drugs. No supplements.

Cardio exercising daily for 40-60 min, weight training 3 days a week.

Lost 15.5 lb. Still 36 lb until ideal weight, 46 lb until -5%.

I'm never hungry. Food tastes better than ever. Sleep went down from

9-11 h to 7-8 somedays even 5 h. Falling asleep and waking up are

quick, 10 min at most. My mind has changed, like a fog has dissipated.

The constant feeling of well-being and energy is incredible.

Just to expand upon what Francesca said you are starving yourself (never

good). This is not a quick fix lose a few pounds for cosmetic reasons

diet, but a rest of your hopefully longer and healthier life pattern.

You will enjoy many health benefits almost immediately from moderate

energy restriction. Rapid weight loss often sacrifices LBM like bone and

muscle in addition to the fat that you will wish you held on to. You're

still a young pup but keeping muscle and bone is always easier than

building it.

Slow down, you have the rest of your life to get where you're going.
