Now that I'm down 2/3rds I have more energy and am much more willing to exercise and such, but when I started I wanted a plan that I know would work without adding exercise. I know myself and I had to start somewhere  |
CaramonLS did the same thing. I do believe it worked great for him.
Key is to realize that you won't be eating 1000 calories per day....'forever.' Eventually you will HAVE to slowly increase your calories to a point where you can sustain a body weight that you are comfortable with.
I know a lot of people wouldn't advocate going to such extremes(VERY low calorie diet)....but if you're medically supervised, good for you.
But even above all that....I still recommend weight training. Like I pointed out earlier....gaining just 10lbs of muscle will go a long way to help you accomplish your goals.
Although in your case....it might not work right now.
