She is now consuming 1000 calories a day which consist of 400 calories from juices and a 600-calorie chicken salad. Jane is no longer eating fish a food she needs to hit her healthy fat target. Within a few months of this kind of nutrition, Jane is diagnosed with depression. This depression has come from Vitamin D and B12 deficiency. Jane needs to fix her nutrition habits.
