[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 779425, member: 150927"] I am on a deviated ND of 1000 calories at the moment. (My deviation is I am eating mini-modified Paleo.) From my responses to being on a VLCD, and now a LCD, and the response of some of the Legends that have shared their experiences in here, I believe it all boils down to personal metabolisms. ie how food and exercise affects you, personally, and at what intensity. The beauty of being on such a diet is it is very easy, in my experience, to make adjustments and tweaks to your calorie intake and energy expended - as your intake is so small! There is ample room to experiment! 'Eating and Metering' is made all the more easier when you are writing down everything you are eating, and when, for instance, to keep a tight control of your calories. Not so much room to experiment if you are using the meal replacement sachets of course. (But you do have the vegetable dish, and if on 100 calories I guess it would be two dishes? Of real food, if only limited food, if you are not deviating.) A long-winded way of saying - just do it and see how you are on 800 calories! If that is not enough for you to exercise, say, and exercising is important to you, or part of your Dealing-with-Diabetes plan - then up it to 1000 with exercise, and check it against your blood glucose levels, your waist measurement, and the scales. (Those are my key measurements I am tracking.) Eight weeks is a LOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGGG time to be able to make adjustments and keep a tight track of your numbers. Groan. [/QUOTE]
