What is the magic number?

Magic number of calories you ask? There is no magic number!

For some reason 1200 calories seems to be the popular number that floats around for women in particular.

Let me tell you, there is nothing special about 1200 calories. The longer you are in such a severe deficit, the more your biology fights you, and will in fact, turn down your metabolism and crank up your cravings and hunger. When you lower your calorie intake, your body senses that food is scarce and lowers the rate at which it burns calories. Crazy huh?

My approach to coaching and guidance is to encourage women to EAT to FUEL their bodies, and stop restricting and counting calories, because as you now know there is no MAGIC number to follow.
