Who's to say that this 2000cal a day isn't as big a load of mumbo jumbo as we were fed (lol) in the 80s about fats being the enemy? When it's been found it's sugar and hidden sugar in foods that is the main contributory factor to obesity and chronic illness.

Calorie intake is not a one size fits all, you have to take into consideration your job, age, height, build and overall health.

Unlike some I don't agree with skipping meals, then you are at risk of feeling ill or making yourself crave instantly gratifying foods. I know that sounds odd being on a juice diet and saying that but these really are just a meal replacement, they have nutrients and fibre to be assimilated therefore the body is satiated.

During the war and post war food was rationed, people did not die.. they worked hard, danced and rebuilt the country, how could they do that if they were so deprived it impacted on them?.. it didn't because it doesn't.
