vsdbeth: I don't have anything to add about the carb cycling because I have tried it and it was only a temporary fix for me. Not JUDDDing anymore either, although I do think there are health benefits to intermittent fasting.

See my post above. I have seen many people who plateau and then go the Eat More 2 Weigh Less route and do well and start losing again. In general, 1200 cals is just not enough to lose, and the science is interesting and results are there if you look into it. Depending on your age and activities and height, 1200 cals will only meet your body's metabolic demands to keep you alive, so really you may be starving yourself...and I know that is against all the popular information out there. Once again, do the research. Also, check out the link I mentioned above about correct calorie intake to lose weight.

Best to you.
