True, but at 1300 calories you'd also end up in a lower metabolism state (famine mode), undoing any benefits. You'd still lose weight of course but at a cost. I read that kicks in at 1200 calories or lower, but it's close enough.
I'm sure that the calorie intake could be increased without costing too much extra though, by padding things out with rice and/or beans.
- MrMcCall 2y agoThe way to defeat 'famine mode' is to exercise anyway. That's how I lost weight to wrestle at my minimum. It's tortuous, for sure, but vigorous exercise can raise your metabolism for IIRC 24hrs. Thank God, they don't let kids do that dumb sh_t anymore, but this was over 30ya.
