Your body needs calories to function, starving it is going to result in muscle loss, (the body starts consuming muscle if there is no fat for it to sustain itself) low energy levels, and you'll end up constantly thinking about the very thing you are trying to avoid, namely, food, as you will feel hungry all the time. ....

 Do the south beach diet. You don't have to starve yourself. I lost 14 pounds in the first 2 weeks and ate 6 times a day [Edited 12/15/05 10:44am] | |

I have heard of it but not heard much? It's great. It basically cuts out sugar and bad carbs and bad fats. You can have good carbs (like whole wheat pasta, whole grains, vegetables) and good fats (like nuts, peanut butter) and sugar substitutes. No caffeine though. I suggest you buy the book, but you can also check it out at www.southbeachdiet.com | |

Imago777 said: Actually, what you're doing is fasting.
Water fasting works this way: Day 1 and day 2 : You'll lose 1 to 2 pounds a day. 50% fat / 50% muscle Day 3: Your body switches over to ketosis based metabolism to preserve muscle--98% fat / 2% musle (you'll lose about 1 pound a day, almost entirely fat). The benefit of this is not weight loss, though you'll lose a substantial amount of weight. The benefit is that the 2% protein (or muscle mass) that your body is looking into eating is good--becuase you're body looks for deseased cells and inferior cells first (tumors, abnormal growths, etc.). ALso, your fat cells store chemicals and other toxins you've been accumulating all your life. I've water fasted for 10 day stings (once losing 18 pounds) and by the end of the fast, I had very very clear skin, looked 10 years younger, and felt like a million bucks. I wouldn't recommend fasting 10 days, (although most people can do a water fast for 30 or 40 days with supervision--face it folks, most of you have THAT much fat to burn). But I do strongly believe in fasting. EDIT: HOWEVER, you're matabolism will slow down. So when you come of the fast, you MUST get into a gym and do strength training. Strength training picks speeds your metabolism permenantly up, becuase 1 extra pound of muscle requires 30 to 100 additional calories a day to sustain itself. [Edited 12/15/05 7:18am] so how much water do you drink? Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!

As many have said starving yourself is never a long term solution, and may prevent you having a life long term!
It will ultimately not keep the weight off unless you plan on never eating again. I know what it is like though, we all feel like we know our bodies best, and I don't generally like to listen to people's advice about how to look after my body when I feel I know my body better than they do. There isn't one diet to suit everyone, we do have to tailor things to suit our lifestyle, but starving yourself is extreme. Most of us know how to lose weight, eat less, exercise more... if you burn more than you take in you will lose weight. dah. It's implementing it that trips most of us up. So, while I don't want to be preachy, truly, try exercising more, I have no doubt it will make you feel and look 100% better than starving yourself would. --ยปYou're my favourite moment, you're my Saturday... | |
