Hi All! We have been receiving a lot of concerns regarding the 900 kcal meal plans so I want to ask everyone the following questions: Have you tried following the 900 kcal meals? How many days did you follow it? How do you feel about it? How does it affect your overall diet? Is it still satisfying without the carbs? | ||

Congratulations Dana!
I am really happy with your progress and I really appreciate that you shared your experience here. However, I just want to clear one thing, the 900 kcal meal plan is only good for 2 days and is designed to be followed when you reach plateau or if you gained weight. On the other hand, I am still confident that the 900 kcal meal, though very low in calories, is still balanced in terms of other nutrients aside from carbohydrates which is omitted.
I suggest you continue on with 1200 kcal and occasionally switch to 900 kcal.
I hope I made this clear to all other members who are following the 900 kcal. We all want you to reach your target weight the healthiest way possible because we believe that losing weight gradually will prevent rebound. :-q
Keep in touch, Dana!

I am actually following the 900 kcal.
I have been following it for 8 out of 9 weeks (I shifted to 1200 kcal when i reached plateau).
At first, I lost a whole lot of weight. After three weeks, I lose the normal 2-3 pounds per week. I was struggling at first (given that I always eat in-between meals before) but after a few weeks, I get used to it.
It is still satisfying without much carbs. I'm also full after every meal.
Hope my answers are helpful.

Hello,
I suggest you stick to 1200 kcal meals and just lessen the rice allowance if you are not used to it.
Please do note that 900 kcal is recommended only for 2 days for recovery and boosting weight loss. :-q
