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.

You make some really , really good points ...

As regards the part where you touched on skipping meals and then eating junk .. I fast for 19 hours ( very occasionally even longer if something crops up ) but then my first meal is always a decent sized one and crammed with goodness ( no ‘junk’ or processed stuff) and it always tastes like the best meal ever.. oddly I don’t get hungry until the food is cooking when I KNOW I’ll be eating very soon . If we have an appointment or meeting or something after work I’ll just postpone the meal another couple of hours or so.. the delay makes no difference to my mindset or energy levels .. the bonus to this is that when the body has ‘used’ all the carbs ( after about 12 hours I think ) it starts burning the fat ....

The body only takes a few days to get used to missing breakfast .
