In this episode of Fit Over 40, Coach Clarence addresses a common question from female clients: "Should I be eating 1,200 calories to lose weight?" He explains that the idea of a 1,200-calorie diet originated in the early 1900s, but it may not be suitable for everyone. Coach Clarence emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all diet and highlights the drawbacks of super low-calorie diets, such as sustainability issues and feelings of hunger and deprivation. He also warns about the ease of overeating on a 1,200-calorie diet if macros are not tracked. Overall, Coach Clarence advocates for a personalized approach to weight loss and encourages listeners to understand the science behind different diet strategies.
