Guest guest Posted September 6, 2002 Report Share Posted September 6, 2002 The latest issue of Shape magazine has a column where a young woman writes in, 5'4 " , 134 pounds, eating 1000 calories a day (she says) had hit a plateau in weight loss after losing 50 lbs over a 2-year period (about 2 lb / month, not too quickly), moderate exercise level. She went to see a nutritionist, who told her she should be eating 2000 cal which she then does - result - gains 9 lb in a month. The magazine also asks her if she really needs to lose any more weight. Reality check - 134 is at the very upper limit of non-overweight BMI for her weight. She's not too skinny. While 1000 cal may be too low for her activity level, who in their right mind would tell her to double it! I'd have been more impressed if they had suggested she really examine what she is eating to see if the 1000 cal count were correct, and what exactly she was eating.
