I am 5ft 6in and now 174 pounds. I have been on a 800 calorie diet for a week. This was just to kick start my weight loss and I lost 4-5 pounds. I am aware that my metabolism will slow down. I dont know whether I should keep eating 800 calories a day or increase it. If I increase my calorie intake to a healthier but still fast weightloss rate, how can I do so without gaining weight and ensuring I can still lose weight easily on a higher number of calories?
Any advice would be great thanks. I must mention that I am very busy and sit down all day and at this moment in time I can’t fit exercise into my lifestyle. Thanks
