Minimum Calorie Intake: Avoiding Starvation Mode & Healthy Weight Loss

Question
I was curious what is the minimum amount of calories a person can consume without having the body go into starvation mode.  I've currently cut my calories from 2100+ to 1000-1400.  Thank you for taking the time to answer my question!

Answer
Hello Brooke!

  Thank you for your nutrition question. The minimum amount to avoid starvation mode would be 1200 calories. It sounds like you should be able to lose 1-2lbs daily with your current diet. This is the healthier way because it is gradual and will stay off in the long run.
