Avoid any diet that calls for less than 1,200 calories per day,” says Lynn Davis, a Colorado-based nutritionist. Though doctors may sometimes recommend a very low calorie diet for obese, at-risk patients, this is only in severe circumstances and with close monitoring. The ADA notes that people severely restricting calories often feel overly tired, constipated, and nauseated due to an extreme deficiency in nutrients and energy. Another common—and more serious—side effect of these plans is gallstones. “For the body to be properly fueled and healthy, we need a variety of food from each food group, which is quite difficult to do when consuming so few calories,” says Davis. “Make sure each meal has some of each.”
