[QUOTE="Tophat1900, post: 2220159, member: 362123"] I think with low calorie diets like that, the point of not exercising is because you don't have the needed food to fuel and recover as well as keep your system function in a healthy state. This would quite possibly or probably cause some much unwanted muscle loss, which is not a good thing. Personally, I wouldn't be exercising on that diet. Muscle loss will occur if your system isn't fed enough to maintain good organ health and the demands of exercise. Part of the reason why you are feeling great is probably from the weightloss, but also because low calorie diets increase cortisol levels, which are trying to make up for the lack of food by breaking down muscle to convert into glucose. The body thinks it's in a famine state. The body reacts. If it can't get what it needs from food, it will use what it has access to. I think walking is ok, but strenuous exercise should be avoided imo. If you're determined to get back into exercise in a big way, perhaps try switching to a low carb diet. Just my thoughts on it.
