How come you can lose weight up to about 20 pounds before your body puts on the breaks and starts gaining weight again when you eat only 1200 calories a day and do a half hour of cardio exercising?

I believe it is due to your body's fitness improving vastly, muscles working more efficiently and metabolism slowing down. Your body wants to use the least amount of energy possible, whether in danger of starvation or not. This effect is similar to plateauing in resistance / weight training. You need to do more cardio or push your body harder to continue getting results.
