Information on 1200 Calorie Diet
A diet is prescribed to any individual based on their height, weight, age, sex, activity, diet patter and health condition. The effect of a 1200 calorie diet on you cannot be determined, as inadequate information regarding the above mentioned factors are available. The basic guidelines are listed down. Please visit your nutritionist for further guidance. A 1200 calorie diet is recommended for individuals on weight loss. About five meals are recommended with small quantities of food. They are eaten at an interval of three hours, thereby warding off hunger.
Water is drunk, two hours after consumption of food. Following this diet for more than a week, calls for the use of fish and lean meat in the diet. Omega 3 fatty acids in fish are helpful and are consumed four times a week. It is generally not recommended for more than a month, though can be repeated after two to three months. Whole meal bread, vegetable soups and salads are included.
The choice of foods plays a vital role in this diet. Zero calorie drinks or coffee or tea are recommended. The split up of calories throughout the day is divided as 250 calories for breakfast, 200 calories for lunch, 300 for dinner and 70 calorie for dessert. The other option is decreasing the breakfast by 100 calories and increasing the lunch by the same.
