Is eating 1200 calories a day a safe and effective way to lose weight? if not, what is?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
1200: 1200 calories is OK but not great for weight loss. Please go online to "NuVal" and look at the numbers (there is 100 items listed with a score from 0 (bad) to 100 (excellent). The higher the score the better the food.
