Why You Should Consult Your Doctor About a 1200 Calorie Diet

A diet which restricts the caloric intake can be beneficial in weight loss but under the right circumstances. Those who implement a 1200 calorie diet may not be getting enough vitamins and minerals, because of the lower volume of food and/or certain types of food consumed within the diet.

It is advisable to undergo such a diet under the supervision of a trained medical professional.

The use of dietary supplements may be necessary to counter the loss of nutrients because the individual is eating less.

Please note, that the meal plan below is only a sample. It is not intended to be taken as a meal plan to implement on an individual basis.
