Dear Anon, I echo the postings above. There is no one-size-fits all kind of rule for caloric intake in a weight loss program as each of us is different. Metabolic rates are different from person to person as activity levels and even stress which is linked to weight gain thanks to the excessive release of the hormone cortisol which causes our bodies's metabolism to slow down and gain weight.
The calorie count strategy is also losing momentum with the new medical reports on healthier ways of eating. I suggest you look into the mediterranen diet or the NEW Atkins diet (it has been modified to include more fish). Do not risk your health by reducing caloric intake, make the right choices of foods (fresh fruits, vegetables, fish and plant-based proteins)and eat as much as you want!
