1000 Calorie Diet Menu

It is extreme indeed to limit daily calories to 1000. And it should be followed just when you want to lose a few kilos in a short time. Or it can be just a starting before a long term weight loss plan. This plan aims to not abandon tasty foods and tries to keep nutritional ones.

However doctors do not recommend to fulfill this diet more than a week. Because it is a big restriction to take not more than 1000 calories. It is true that the diet supplies you the main part of food you need, but it should not be followed more than a week, because after a week your body will decide that a famine is going on. Think that you are waiting to lose weight, but you just make it worse.

Thus, researchers recommend to lose 1 – 2 pounds in a week, not more. Hunger will not bring you a more fit and healthy body. That is why it is not wise to follow this diet more than a week.
