Blog 6: Why 1,200 Calorie Diets Fail (and What Actually Works)
“Eat Less, Move More.” Sound Familiar?
For decades, people have been told that the only way to lose weight is to slash calories—often down to 1,200 a day. Maybe you’ve tried it yourself. And maybe, just like millions of others, you saw it backfire.
At Health Wyze, we believe no one should feel like they have to punish their body to be healthy. You deserve to feel good, energized, and confident—not starved.
The Problem With 1,200 Calorie Diets
Extreme restriction sets you up for failure. Here’s why:
Metabolism Slows: Your body goes into “survival mode,” holding onto fat.
Hormones Disrupt: Hunger and stress hormones skyrocket, making cravings unbearable.
Nutrient Deficiency: You miss out on vitamins and minerals your body needs.
Unsustainable: No one can eat that little forever.
The result? Temporary weight loss (if any), followed by regaining everything—and sometimes more.
It’s Not You—It’s the Diet
If you’ve failed on restrictive diets, it’s not because you’re weak. It’s because they’re designed to fail. Your body isn’t the enemy—it’s trying to protect you.
