Thanks to everyone still commenting! Does this work for you? If not, I tried to fast for 48 hours recently... see how that went: th-cam.com/video/duMLcc-RGSk/w-d-xo.html
260lbs and ive been doing 1000 a day pro tip get a protein bar just make sure its high in protein like the birthday cake quest bar
@@luismendoza-eu7qx how’s the progress?
@@Jagerclips301 i did it for like 3 months lost 45lbs then switched to a normal calorie intake and im staying steady at 215
Our bodies are not meant to take that much food. Im on a 600-850calories a day. Intermittent fasting with a 22/24hour fast and I lost 13kgs in a month. I don’t have cravings for sugar, (I do think of food - now and then, im not gonna lie) BUT, I feel that I focus better, have more energy to workout and can tackle the day being more productive with work, kids etc. 💪🏿🤗
If you take a multivitamin every you will feel so much better.
I’m eating between 1000-1500 calories to lose weight.
Eating protein like eggs for breakfast and flling up on veg covered in seasonings with chicken for dinner. Apple or banana for a snack and a cube of dark chocolate to fight off sugar cravings if need be.
Lost 28 lbs in 3 months and don’t feel like I’ve missed out on anything.
@FatDayChallenge have you been exercising?
@@mayaakhtar2266 I try to walk 2 - 3 times a week getting my 10,000 steps in. I also have a job where I’m on my feet all day. I’m not a member of a gym or anything like that.
Proud of you!
Wow omg so happy 4 u!!!!
Right on!!! Eat the right things and your mind will be crazy during detox but when you make it through detox your body wants these items and mind is happy…..I have dropped 158.3 lbs so far and on the final 40lbs.
I bet you weren't getting enough salt. All that water, low calories, little salt...makes you dizzy, feel sick, ect.
Thanks ☺️ I understand now 😂😂 I didn't consume any salt
Plus barely any protein to keep him full
I’ve been eating 1200 calories everyday for 80 days and I’ve lost 10kg
It works for me
Just make sure you don't over do it. Weight isn't like golf, it's not about getting the lowest possible score. Check your BMI
Hi can I ask what your starting weight, age and gender is? I’ll understand if you don’t reply or skip some ^
I did 1500 calories for 3 months and so far I lost 27 pounds
I start off at 205 and now I’m 176.4
Also I’m a male and I’m 6’2
im severely obese and im on my 2nd week on this diet. i think 1200 cal diet is easier when u do it with intermittent fasting. skip breakfast eat 600cal on lunch at 12noon and then eat 600cal on dinner at 6pm. U may eat small snacks in the afternoon but remember you will have to cut down and manage ur dinner if u do so
Exactly. I agree with this as it's what I do lol.
how many kg you lost so far?
I thought of that, and you confirmed it!! Definitely gonna try it that way!! It's live-able too!
How much weight have you lost so far
@@ognjenvukovic9575 If you are interested, i just count my calories (1300 per day) for almost 6 weeks and lost about 12 kg. Some days i overeat up to 700 calories (2000 calories per day) but also i didnt have a cheating day to exceed 2300 calories per day. i went for qlmost 2 weeks for gym but no cardio only weights lifting, i dont know if that helps loosing wieght but just telling my progress on this diet
Looking at the foods you ate, you were not eating high satiation foods.
A tortilla wrap for example is dense in calories but doesn’t fill you up.
You could have perhaps loaded more vegetables onto the plate.
yeh i did 1200 and had beans, lentils, veggies, some low calorie carbs and fish. Did it for 8 weeks lost 2 stone and i could still go for a 25 minute run every other day. I did make sure i had 55g protein. I reckon having enough protein is probs one of the best way to succeed on this diet.
Best food for that: Canned Saucy Beans.
bro if i intake 1500 calories and burn 2500 calories daily will that affect my muscle mass??
@@lokeshalatvines5011 Yes of course, but if you work out you can lose little mass
This was a great point!
There are tons of veges that makes you fuller. Example: cabbage. 2 cups steamed cabbage is only 130cal, and you're almost filled
Your stomach must be 0.3cm wide if 130cal of cabbage fills you up and who the fuck steams vegetables 😂
@@w7n424 I do. I steam veges.
@@w7n424 a lot of people steam vegetables
@@w7n424 they were literally trying to help you calm downnnn
@@w7n424 steamed veggies are good
you can still eat choclate on a diet aslong as its in the 1200 calories
Finally somebody understood!!

@@carrie893 enjoy
You can, but I’m sure you would be more hungry instead of eating something with protein
@@iamnouser8071 yessiiiir
Great video! Considering how unhealthy your diet was prior to the challenge, I think you would’ve felt bad even if you did 1500-2000 calories a day. If you’re accustom to a diet high in sugar, your body was going to have symptoms of withdrawal. This happens to people when they drink coffee a lot and go cold turkey.
Thank you! Ah mate it was so bad!! and the withdrawal hit me like a ton of bricks not gunna lie
checkout KINOBODY
I drink lots of water it helps with the hunger
I'm on 1300 calories a day and walking 10-15,000 steps a day and ive lost nearly 4 pounds in a week and I feel absolutely fine 🙂
same!!
What do u eat
@@Tanksig 2 packs of ramen noodles and a redbull
@@bisse5946 nice
@@Tanksig it was a joke hahah i would suggest u to take a blood test and variety your diet out on the vitemins u need.
so i did this. I weighed 95kg 5ft 9 at the start- I didn't experience any of the things this guy did except hunger on the first 2/3 days. I had a lot of protein to keep me satiated. I think his symptoms are coming from sugar withdrawal as opposed to calories or a lack thereof. I've spent the past 3 months maintaining my 18kg loss (in 2 months) and have since restarted the diet to lose the last bit. feel better than ever :)
Class to hear that mate! Well done
Heyy what times of the day did you eat?
what last bit? That height and weight is lean as fuck
I did a way more restricted, longer version of this. I did a week fast on water, vitamins, minerals, and 2 cup soups a day which contained my rda of salt.
Then for two weeks I had the same but two canned soups instead of cup soup.
Then two weeks after that I had two fajita or chili bowls with rice. Which a gradually increased the portion size of after another two weeks. But still under 800 calories a day.
I lost 50lbs over 2 months. And then another 5lbs in the month after that as I gradually discovered my required calorie I take to maintain my weight at that point.
I didn't experience any of the things he said he did. I felt hunger, but quickly learn that it's fleeting. I had cravings but I learnt that these were just my old habits coming back and I could just create new habits.
He likely wasn't getting enough salt or some specific vitmains/minerals.
The key is to make sure your body is getting everything it needs, and that doesn't have to include calories, whe. Your body has plenty of calories as stored fat. You just have to give it na oportunity to use up that fat by not constantly eating.
Most of the advice at the end of this video about how people shouldn't do what he did and its not healthy is not true at all. Other than perhaps he should have been taking some suppliments there's nothing unhealthy about letting your body burn its fat stores.
i eat around 1300 calories a day and he did not do a very good job at picking and choosing what he ate😂
I’m a fussy eater hahaha
I’m currently 1 week into my calorie deficit of 1200 calories a week and I’ve lost 10 lbs
Well done!! Did you exercise aswell?
Not very healthy to lose weight that fast just make sure your drinking water too
@The Police a day, (nobody can live only one week with only 1200 calories healthily)
@@cameron1120 depends on the weight if your under 250 yes over it's completely healthy
water weight not real weight sorry
I'm loving ur content, ur a hidden gem lol
Hey man love your content!! Could you possibly do a month long diet video, but keeping calories a lot more sustainable (around 2300 cals Id assume)
i did 1500 cals for 3 months and lost 50lbs. Never lose hope on your goal, stay dedicated and stay motivated theres no other way to do it! (side note: try not go crazy low in calories, depending on your height weight and metabolism u may need a couple hundred more or less, however still to things like oats, fruits and other low calorie options and sugar free drinks to supplement other dietary needs, i drink 2 bangs or reign 0 cal energy drinks a day but other 10-20cal drinks are good alternatives to unhealthy options as well, calorie dense meal mid way threw the day help but theres plenty of other vids thatll help u just as much hope this helped someone :)
Losing 25kg in 3 months is kinda crazy. 4-5 months would've been better but props to you. Were you very active during those 3 months? Cuz even with that calorie deficit you should've only lost around 26lbs in 3 months
Your the most relatable channel that’s doin this,dope video broski
Thanks man
You were doing sugar withdrawl as well as 1200 calories a day so in effect two challenges. If you did 1800 a day it would be sustainable. IMHO you look better at the lower weight. Enjoyed the video as always.
That's very true. My family think I look better at the lower weight too which I find strange. I think I look really bulky at the bigger weight and I liked that, felt strong haha. Thank you though, appreciate the comment :)
Maybe you guys have a faster metabolic rate than I do but with 1800 and no exercise a day makes me gain weight lol. It's why I fast every other day and only eat 3-4 times a week. Around 1500 Cals which I need to sustain myself and not loose any weight but because I don't eat on certain days. Though I'm 13 so I don't need to eat as much so idk
@@RRB0724 that’s not healthy doll please eat everyday at least 1500 calories a day xx
@@pleasepickme5855 my doctor recommended it for me soo I think I'll continue
I think if he had just ate extra piece of grilled chicken a day, he would been good. more protein =more satiated also less muscle loss.
I have been doing this 1200 calorie diet for 3 days now
My height: 5'5
Weight: 54kg
Gender: Female
Breakfast/Lunch:
- 1 tin shredded tuna
- 3tbs diced white onion
- pinch of salt and pepper
- 1 slice brown bread
Dinner:
-1 cup+ frozen country mix vegetables
-fish/chicken/beef
- other
Snacks:
- anything low in calories that is sweet (healthy protein balls, healthy peanut butter banana fudge)
Water: 1800ml - 2400ml
(btw I also intermittent fast for 10 to16 hours)
Well 1200 can work for females, but for most men it isn't sustainable
@@bobtucks7454 doesn’t work for females either. It’s not healthy
Bro great video informative and funny. Subscribed cheers Cookie.
I think a protein powder shake would of helped a lot since the really fill you up some of them taste really nice and there’s not too much calories in it. Still though love your vids and I’m surprised your channel hasn’t blown up yet your contents really good.
They're not for me them, I can't stomach the taste and density of the ones i've had. Thank you for your comment though, I really appreciate it :)
I have been literally eating 1200 calories for 4-5months 🤣🤣
I am now down 3 stone but i am a boxer so i have been doing losds of excercise
Are you British?
@@RRB0724 yes sir
As a sedentary, older bloke considering a diet plan (Im about 23 kg overweight), thank you for the explanation at the end. I have a better starting idea now (not to jump into something my body should not do, and reconsider by comparing what I already do eat). I needed this.
Dude this video gave me that last little push I needed. Covid brought my weight back up and I've been unhappy for a while. With a holiday coming up my goal is to keep at this until we go.
I'm a week into 1500cal limit a day and I'm actually enjoying it as well as going to the gym once or twice a week. In this first week I have lost 3kgs so it's going in the right direction.
Just wanted to say thank you and It's great how you show no shame in how your body feels and what it's used to. Keep it up!
Did this for 2 months and never once felt drained or ill, I was at 260lbs when I began and 227 at the end of the 2 months. My only exercise was walking 1 mile a day. His issue is probably the food choices he made. He did not eat the proper nutrients maintain his energy levels and not feel sluggish. I agree that it is not sustainable your entire life but it is an excellent means of long term weightloss.
I did similar. Lost 50lbs in 2 months. On even less calories then he was on, never had any issues because I was making sure to take supplements, salts, essential amino acids.
@@ge2719 what supplements were u taking?
@@txs_landoo6371i had a water soluble vitamin and mineral multi vitamin tablet, which i just took with water once a day.
And a fat solluble vitamin (a d e k) tabelt that i took along with a cup/canned soup once a day. Typically a cream soup so it had some milk fat.
Generally soups contain plenty of salt too which meant i was getting enough electrolytes but you can also have just a gram of salt in a glass of water if you start to get any symptoms of lack of electrolytes like muscle cramps, headaches,...etc which i never did but thats the one of the most common issues to arrise from eating little food and drinking plenty of water.
Only things to be careful of is it fat soluble vitamins are able to be stored in the body, so those are the ones you can get too much of. So you may want to get your levels checked by a doctor after a few weeks to make sure you arent taking too much of something.
Water solluble vitamins your body passes them and cant hold onto them so you cant really take too much of those.
@@ge2719 Fr i feel great I don’t feel sick at all only thing is I for sure get cravings for sugar but I push through and maybe eat cucumber slices with tajin, I just take 1 pill a day that’s the better health mens pill and I’m good to go

My maintenance calories are 1485. 1200 is standard for me when I want to lose fat. I eat 2 big meals consisting of veg and lean meat. I’m not hungry eating this way. Depends what you eat.
For us night owls who sleep past breakfast, this is a lot easier. I couldn’t imagine having to get up at breakfast time and having to split my 1,200 cals across three meals instead of two. I usually wake up at about 12, eat at 2 and eat again about 8 and take a low fat snack to munch on through the night. That’s what I’ve always done, but just the contents of the meals have changed. If someone is awake longer then me, I wouldn’t recommend this diet. As calories is energy, and he probably felt unwell bc he seemed to be up quite early and asleep quite late, and his body wouldn’t of been getting the energy it needed. But for us people who, well, sleep a lot, we’re building up that energy still.
Imagine having to wake up at 1am for work and working till 3pm. Hunger is real but I save for my one meal a day at 6pm
My problem as a night owl is, that I don't eat breakfast but get rly hungry at night😐
How funny is that when we eat a lot, a lot of unhealthy things , to fatty too sugary - we do not think HOW BAD AND UNHEALTHY it is for us, but when we cut the calories we complain that it is unhealthy 😂😂😂
Lovin’ your video, i’m personally not obese but im on a diet and a regularly exercise, what i’d recommend is a less dramatic diet, it will be a slower progress but a more sustainable diet, slowly switching to healthier food will allow you to eat more cause lot of health food is low calorie, when finding food search the no sugar option and you wont feel a hard change, i wish you lot of self power and a lot of health, keep up the good work
Thank you! I agree, that’s the way to go and I will try again soon
Boy you had me laughing... you are so funny
Your so relatable! Really down to earth. I like your content. As a woman , I don’t subscribe to a lot of men...not intentionally but just because I don’t have much in common with their content, so thanks for the good/relatable content and for having the Well-power that I try to have lol🙂
Thank you, that means a lot :)
@@WildlifeWithCookie your so welcomed!
When you do omad and intermittent fasting you realise that 1200 calories is even too much for you to eat once.You fill full fast with this two diet combined and it can be a sustainable lifestyle
No cos I will be hungry all day, it won't work for me
Just so anyone looking though the comments knows, a 1200 calories diet does not have to be this hard. Obviously you have to take into account your age, weight, gender, height, level of movement etc. but it can absolutely be a sustainable and even a healthy way to eat. Some ways to make it easier would be upping the amount of protein to keep you make full and give you more energy, and focusing less on the “heathy foods” while upping the amount of low calorie vegetables. This would help you have a little wiggle room in your calorie budget so that you could allow yourself to have that cake, chocolate, or ice cream. Also try taking away (or limiting) these sugary foods at a much slower rate and kind of weaning off of them slowly would help with the I NEED CHOCOLATE NOW thoughts and feelings. 1200 calorie diet is not for everyone but for certain people it can be the only way they can lose weight or even maintain the same weight. But of course ask your doctor before drastically changing your diet.
will it slow my metabolism?
@@user-ux5wj7ki7f
It depends on what you mean by metabolism. Your metabolism doesn’t just burn calories, it is responsible of several life maintaining system in your body. But if you are talking about your BMR (Basal metabolic rate) then technically yes. If you lose weight eating this way then your BMR will go down (the amount of calories your body burns at rest). This is generally a good thing, especially if you’re over weight. It is just a result of your heart and other organs not needing to work as hard to keep you alive. If your goal is to lose weight then you will inevitably slow your BMR but the rest of your metabolism will not likely be affected.
Sorry if this was long winded.
@@hottoast7880 thank you so much im gonna start this diet
Finally someone that understands it, & gets it! This is not that hard at all but yet was made to look extremely hard & unmanageable. & it’s actually the complete opposite (You just have to want it, & be consistent & trust the process)
as a 16yo 5'1 120lb female with a high metabolism it works fine for me fruit is the best since it's low cal, sweet, and tastes great
I'm also doing 1200 calories a day and on day 4. I can so relate to the withdrawal feeling you talked about. It feels like I am going crazy 😂 I am so glad I found your video. ❤️
ı started 1200 calorie diet now its been 3 week im scared to mess up so im only eat 800 calorie i think its turning ed.
@@venusunbagcg6171 what make you think it's becoming an Ed?
When changing your food intake drastically it creates new situation s that you have to react to, how you think about food will be tested and so you have to be careful in some situations that you don't allow yourself to go down a path of thinking that leads to Ed. The key is to analyse your thought processes and make sure you're not limiting yourself, you're being responsible and conscious of your actions.
So are there any specific things that have come up?
@@venusunbagcg6171 800 calories per day is NOT ENOUGH. 1200 calories per day is not enough! I’m a woman and my height is 171cm. In the past 3 months I have lost over thirty pounds eating 1700 calories per day (sometimes 1800). Do not restrict too much or you will get sick
Are you sure you’re counting everything? A packet of salad dressing can be 200-400 calories, sauce on a sandwich / burger around the same. A Starbucks drink can be 400, etc etc

I go to your channel for the thylacine stuff. Which is terrific, and you are nicely evidence based, not willing to kid yourself into believing something because you really want it to be true, and I respect that.
I’m writing about your diet efforts, because for ages I struggled with food cravings pushing me around, and doing sensible diets but regaining all the weight the moment I tried for maintenance. I broke this cycle with a simple keto diet from “Why we get Fat” by Gary Taubes. Not an easy read (he proves his point, then overproves it, then re-overproves it...but I find that reassuring) and his keto advice was a great way to get started. I don’t do keto, now, but I continue with a combination of low-carb and intermittent fasting that is simple and brainless and effective.
IFFF you find yourself regaining weight the moment you start adding foods back into your diet, and this is discouraging, do look into this. It’s the first dietary “freedom” I ever really experienced. I’m rooting for anyone slugging
it out with this problem. I thought I could never give up carbs, but now, I can never give up freedom.
As a fatty myself I found that VERY informative. Thanks very much and best wishes.
I did 1,000 calories a day for 6 months
I intermittent fasted
I got most of my calories from protein sources and vegetables
I always ate 2 Oreos a day
I’d have low calorie ice cream options
And if I was having a midnight craving I’d have sugar free jello which is like 10 calories, popcorn and Diet Coke as a snack
It’s really not hard you just have to wise it out

Unless you're a sub 5 feet tall woman, 1000 calories is WAY too low for almost anybody. As a 5'10'' tall active man, even eating the lowest calorie dense food (egg whites, veggies, lean meats, etc..) I feel hungry and starved if I eat under 2200 calories a day.
I've red tons of article from professionals, and the overall recommandation for weight loss is to create a 300-500 calories deficit a day. Don't need to go bananas and eat 1000-1200 calories a day, it's unsustainable and unhealthy, period.

The key is to factor in those cravings in your total calorie count. Have some sweets but portion control it so you don't feel deprived. Balance!
"i'm looking to change that"

I watch this every few months lol I love it 😅
I think the issue is the Redbull withdrawal, not so much the lesser calories. I get it. Giving up the sugar is so hard, but I did stick to the 1200ish calories and I’ve lost 10 lbs between Jan and May. Now I’m used to less sugar and feel pretty good. I want to lose another 10, so imma stick with it!
You did it all wrong!! I had a full on egg and sausage breakfast this morning chicken rice and salad for dinner a little 88 cal brownie and 2 options hot chocolate today...I’m stuffed, highly satisfied and with food optimising I didn’t exceed 1200 calories, (heck chicken sausages, fry light, halo top ice cream, low cal treats...this will save your life on a low cal diet)
Lol he alotted himself 1200 calories and he decided to load up on carbs💀
I've been eating 1200 calories for the past 7 days, it's actually healthy for my height and I don't think I'll lose much weight in 7 days because the calorie deficit is very low. Yeah but I've been eating huge portions of veggies and leafy veggies, salad, chicken, rice, eggs and tiny portions of yogurt/milk. It's pretty fulfilling for me and I have more energy than when I eat only carbs and no veggies.
If you are limiting yourself in calories try foods that are more filling like eggs, avocado, veggies. Tortillas (empty carbs with little nutrients) and strawberries (fruit sugar) are not good options when only eating 1,200 calories, but some berries are good if consuming more calories than that. I am 107 kg (6’1”) and did about 1000 calories each day for 2 days so far and feel fine so far.
This was great. Thanks for sharing

Thanks man! 🖤
Hi Cookie, can I ask what your TDEE was during that week? I have read that if someone has a lot of weight to lose then a 1000kcal a day diet is fine. 3weeks at 1000 deficit and then 1 week at maintenance calories and repeat is safe. Did you eat high protein during that week? Thanks. and well done!
I'm on a 1,200 calorie diet and have been for 6 weeks, I feel better than ever!
How much u lost

Same! Ive been on 1200 for 1 month & 10lbs down 😁 feeling better than ever & less bloated
Amazing resilience, this is mad man, 4 kilos is a lot, if kept this up even though how hard it is you could get well slim!
MyFitnessPal was saying in 5 weeks i'd be down at 17stone2 so like 10kgs or so off. It was hard and I never wanna do it again
DON'T ATTEMPT THIS - You'll see from other comments, this isn't healthy and I hope the video gets that across too. Big love to everyone who has struggled with stuff like this x
u needed a lot more minerals not just water and it would be a little easier....first good thing to do would have been to get urself to quell cravings by reducing carbs and increasing fats.....fats satisfy appetite...sugars provoke apetite bro
That sugar detox is a b!tch
What’s the app you used to track the calories?
whiteknight7 Wayne no he dosent, water is perfectly fine and is also a good way to loose weight fast

You have.summed up my entire lock down 💖🇬🇧💖🇬🇧💖🇬🇧😎
Just cut 500 calories below maintenance plus your exercise calories and you're good to go. No struggling, you maintain your muscle and feel energetic. I chow low sugar, low fat, high protein protein bars as a snack every day. That'll satiate your chocolate craving.
ive been doing about 1k calories for a month now and lost about 10lbs with very minimal exercise
It seems extremely difficult because you also restricted your diet dramatically. If you want chocolate, eat it :) but make sure that you're being mindful of the portion and how much calories it contains. Also, don't attempt to eat your remaining calories from previous days. Try to hit your goal that day +/- 50 or so calories, to get your stomach and mind adjusted to portion sizes. And try eating foods that are high in fibre to help fill you up :)
That's quite an abrupt change. I just aim to go for less than 2000 kcal and the weight just sorta melts off. I'm doing it at the moment actually, and did it once about 8 years ago as well. It only takes me a few months to get back to my goal weight doing this :)
I'm on a 1200 calorie diet and after a week I'm down 8lbs (From 192lbs to 184lbs). I didn't think it was possible.
I feel u on that damn sugar shit I have a mad sweet tooth but having a piece of fruit with my meals solves it for me or at the end of the night I have some non fat Greek yogurt with blueberries or shit sometimes I have one of those low calorie halo top ice creams shit
Cookie.... Maybe you could do a series on the dangers of these kind of fad diets.... my daughter dropped from 2000 cal a day to a 1000 on one of these diets... She constantly exercised at the same time she started at a size 12 she got more and more obsessed and within a month was eating ate 380 cal a day 2 weeks later she ate nothing was hospitalised NG tube fed.... Her lowest weight was 6.2stone Its taken 2 years in a hospital unit and she's home now but still on a long road to recovery... She has lasting damage had re feeding syndrome along with a lot of other issue...... Please just love your self for who you are... If any people read this that's my honest message to you. i cold sit here typing the dangers all day and the things it's caused for my girl it's heart breaking to watch and scary.
I've hearted this so people can see it clearer
So glad your girl's home now - worse thing in the world to have child that's ill. You would wish it on yourself to spare them the pain.
@@WildlifeWithCookie You should pin this to be honest.
@Just vin thank you. It's been a very difficult road and we are still on it but at least she's home now. The mental health issues that come from these crazy diets are shocking and some of the other patients that were in the units were doing the same things as well as more extreme. My heart broke and so went out to their families. Hope you are well and safe x
@Cookie6 thank you. I think you have an excellent opportunity to do a health series about weight struggles and dangers.... The other thing we found out was the web sites anorexia and bulimia sufferers use. My gosh they were shocking. I would honestly rather post my number to support or explain the dangers of these diets on line to the people than think of ANYONE weather family members or person doing the diet and them not understanding the dangers
The Hulk part😂😂😭So funny
I did this and I had no problem and I weighed 350 pounds. First two days were hard but it gets easier after that. I did intermittent fasting so skipped breakfast. Ate lunch at 1pm and dinner at 6pm. I walked 20 mins everyday up hill and drank one gallon of water. I feel great mate! Not sure what you were doing differently. I also ate a lot, mostly stuff high in protein and veggies but I tracked my calories.
what were your results like if you don’t mind sharing?
How u gonna say all this and not talk about the results
@@drizzy8k92 exactly lol. easy my ass.

I've learned that when you go on a diet, if you have been eating unhealthy and decide to go on a diet, it's like being on crack, and deciding to get clean the first week is very hard. A lot of people don't talk about how your body transition when you are losing weight or trying to lose weight the first week is challenging because your body is trying to understand why it is changing and get used to the new normal, which is getting healthy. adding exercise as simple as walking everyday rabbits for 30 minutes or 1 hour will really help also vitamins protein smoothie you have to replace those energy to something so vitamin A vitamin C vitamin D B12 probiotic eating fruit keep your immune system strong will give you more energy but I think the way you did it was not the proper way
For everyone’s who’s struggling, I used to count my calories a lot to the point where I felt bad for eating over 700 calories which made me eat less and lose weight but although I lost weight my hair started falling out my skin got worse and it was just terrible now I don’t check calories as much I recommend just eating healthier and try doing exercise if you don’t like exercising just try to walk more im currently 58kg at my best weight
The problem is limiting food to 700 calories every day. It's basic logic. Your body does not have enough nutrients to keep you skin and hair healthy.
Hello sir please tell me if i eat 1500 calories a day and burn 500 calories through exercises will I lose weight and fat?
Thanks for running this experiment!
Loving that shirt bud 🙌🏽 🇳🇿
It’s class ey bro!
The trick to this is eating high volume. Like a whole chicken breast and a pack of ready made salad with a little sauce and seasoning could be potentially less than 350 kcals and 45g of protein which would force your body to use fat stores while maintaining muscle
Great video man
currently on a 1500 calories, being a bodybuilder, if your protein intake was high it is easier but i do it for 5 weeks since im at a risk of muscle lost
Hey brother just want to say that you felt that way because your body needs to adjust to your new diet. Do a month eating 1650 calories a day and keep in mind if you go for a run and burn 200 calories thats 200 extra calories you can eat !! I love your personality and content keep it up
I used to fast as well as go very low in my calories while dieting, but then I learned that going too low with your calories usually guarantees muscle loss. Even just going 200 cal below your usual diet can do wonders. If anything try a high protein low cal diet. Great video.
During one part of this video, a bit of web with a dead insect was hanging off Cookie's arm.
This idea probably wouldn't be a big issue if you did it one week a month to counter binge-eating for holidays and whatnot. You could also do it a day a week as well. Either way, you'll reduce your food bill. But yeah, not sustainable long-term because "only eat x calories per day" says nothing about how you deal with cravings and energy levels. You should be able to enjoy your food. If there is that feeling that you are losing out, then it makes the experience more of a chore.
As for specifics, some people have used carrots as a sweetener for cooked food. There are obviously other low-carb alternatives beyond this but it is a matter of preference. What do you enjoy eating? Lots of meat? Lots of buttered or fatty food? Sugar addiction? What foods are available in your area? Are you willing to start a garden to grow food that isn't cheap or is unavailable? How do your energy levels change throughout the day? There are a lot of variables to take into account when you decide what to put in your stomach.
If you can find that sweet spot that allows you to feel full without feeling bloated, you are doing well. An example is pearl barley. It swells when cooked and does an awesome job of thickening soups. The nutritional information is quite good with one website citing 354 calories per 100g of uncooked, hulled pearl barley. Add in some meat, garlic, onion and some other veggies along with some salt and pepper and you have a good meal that doesn't make you feel like a rabbit. Some spices give a sweet aroma and taste without the calories, such as Allspice which I have started (oddly enough) adding to soups and stews. Some folks also reduce their sugar intake by having unsweetened herbal teas instead of soda. Pick one that you enjoy and it can be a pleasant alternative to soda. Sometimes it will take some experimentation, but I've found some really enjoyable alternatives during my dabbling. I just need to follow through with the exercise side.
Hi Cookie
I want to propose Combination of your last 2 challenges. For your Training complete 100 pushups 100 sit-ups and 150 Squats + 100min of walking for cardio. Compete this for 4 weeks.
For Diet consume 3000 calories week 1 2500 calories week 2 2000 calories week3 and 1500 calories week 4.
This is a healthy and effective way to go about it.
You should gain muscle in week 1 and drop heaps of body fat over the next few weeks. I you decide to take on the challenge.
I'll complete it with you and talk you through it to help keep you on track.
Let me know if you're keen😉💪
Let's do this💪👊
I'm doing one meal a day and eating only 1250 calories. I exercise and walk every day. I'm also taking my sea moss, taking my vitamins, and doing my smoothie every morning. It's been two weeks, and I've already lost 4 lb.
1200 calories per day is not enough! I’m a woman and my height is 171cm. In the past 3 months I have lost over thirty pounds eating 1700 calories per day (sometimes 1800). Do not restrict too much or you will get sick
Good video, I do have to say that 1200 kcal can be largely beneficial. I managed to lose 17 kilos as a 13 yo with it so I definitely do recommend it just try to eat more mass and protein as protein can have a thermic effect of 15-30% and fills you up faster. The tiredness will cease within a few months completely and when paired with intermittent fasting or a ketogenic diet hunger almost completely goes away.
So what's protein and more mass foods do you recommend
1200 calories per day is not sustainable for his age/height/weight. I mean you just said it yourself, you did it at thirteen! He’s a grown man! Given what he was probably eating before he started this diet (probably around 3000 calories per day) he could have just cut down to 1800 calories per day and still lost a lot of weight over a month or two
Mate you look so much better on the after shot not just the body but the face also.
I am doing this for a month. Day 3 and I feel exactly like you did. Shithouse and I feel out of my body watching on. Alas, onwards and upwards.
No chance that brownie was 100 calories. Easily double that.
I have done a 1500 calorie diet for 5 weeks now, and my goal is to do it until christmas. I've lost 20 lbs so far but have to admit that i've been cheating a little bit in the first 2 weeks. When you have a food addiction it's really hard to stay off junk food and stuff, i mean reaaally hard. Hopefully i can loose another 50-60ish lbs and i'll be happy
Hlo how much calories you have been burning through exercises and how much weight you have lost until now
Congrats! Hope you are much happier with your weight at the moment
@@marcom248 Well, it did'nt go so good after a few months. Got covid and was really sick, and after that I was'nt feeling well mentally, had to go on sick leave at work etc. Today im feeling much better but my weight took a toll unfortunately. Did'nt gain all of it but still
I've started doing this and unfortunately it's became an addiction with under eating, you're totally right bout the dizziness, tiredness etc it's Absoultely awful just hope I can force myself to eat more in time
Do a tdee calculator and subtract 500 or a little more calories. Much better then 1200 plus you won’t feel as tired
@@bushwickbill7593 just drink enough water and use a multivitamin + fish.
Pumpkins is low calorie baked with a bit of olive oil and garlic powder then loads of broccoli cauliflower and some chicken breast under 400cals if you do it right
Addiction to processed sugar is what you are really fighting against. Sugar lights up many of the same areas of the brain as cocaine does. I gave up bread and within 3 days I was dreaming of bread in my sleep!
For the longest time.i didn't.want to do diet drinks but seriously a coke zero a day has helped sweet cravings so much and feels like I get to eat crap 1200 Is so low though.
I did a journey from 115 kg. I have a vid on my channel. But I changed with a slow and steady progress. Just a slight maintainance deficit, and much protein in combine with weightlifting and 365 days! I could never do what you did however, haha. You madman!
I think I might try and do the same thing, well done to you! I don't advise this to any man whatsoever, it's basically self torture haha
@@WildlifeWithCookie Go for it, I looked like you and know it can be done! Im rooting for ya! And yeah I can imagine, damn precious foods...!!!
Love that kitchen shelf
I start today. Im 19st bang on. Ill be cutting DOWN on the sugar but not cutting it out. But ill also be exercising like a Marine. I think the hardest bit wil be finding the right balance but you have shown how Not to do it.. not such a bad thing to do to show other people tbf. I think sugar addiction is a real thing and needs addressing
Make sure you have days off is my advice. It's a long process not a quick fix too and as in the video, you're allowed a treat every now and then. Hope it goes well for you!
@@WildlifeWithCookie im well practiced in having days off. I might try monday to friday with diet (not extream) weekend enjoy what i want but again not extream. But train 6 days a week mixing weights and cardio
Class stuff! Keep at it fella
What people need to realize when the cut down so dramatically is that they need to supply themselves with electrolytes. This will help combat the headaches and foggy feeling. I buy electrolyte powder packets and make a smoothie for breakfast and put them in my smoothie for my day. It helped tremendously when I changed that one detail
Only problem is that you're eating multiple meals that are all low calorie, and repeatedly triggering your hunger hormone (ghrelin). To eat something so small, start to build up your ghrelin, and then force yourself to stop? Complete suffering.
The only thing that works is something sustainable, that you enjoy. I use to think OMAD was completely crazy, but I was holding on to a lot of "it's totally unhealthy!" and thought it was starvation. Was totally wrong. 4-6 small meals a day is suffering.
You should try this challenge again with OMAD if you want to do any type of calorie restriction, even at 1200 it's a million times more sustainable than what you were doing here. That, and don't get too obsessed over health food, you can still enjoy chocolate/cake/icecream/etc, just in a smaller amount like 300-500 calories. I would suggest a minimum of 1500-1800 calories and 30-60 min of light exercise (that you actually enjoy) a day.
Loving the Brisbane Heat top!

Amazing, how did you lose weight? And how many calories were you consuming?
Day 1 was good for me too, day 2 was a struggle and I over ate by 500 calories lol but day 3 is going well. I cant beleive how starving I am lol
this is ok if you eat heavier meals! also weight training during weight loss will keep your muscles
