Hi Rachel! I hope your recovery is going well.

Those numbers you listed are an extremely low caloric intake per day. Do you mean that you eat 200 calories less than your maintenance calorie intake, then 400, then 600, etc, or that you only eat 200kcal, 400kcal, etc.
I do absolutely support the idea of caloric cycling when trying to diet, and certainly exercise can be added (what type of exercise?). However, attempting to keep calorie intake that low will lead to nasty problems, very quickly.
