Hola -
I had a friend lose
40 lbs by dropping his diet to 800-1000 calories. As you can imagine, the weight dropped rapidly. However, he now leads a pretty active life and has kept the weight off for almost 2 years. I've read all the 'dangers' of going that low, but cannot imagine its even close to as bad as keeping the weight i currently carry (322 lbs)... So, about 4 days ago I started this 'crash diet' and hope to make it somewhere around 45-60 days at which point I'll reintroduce a little exercise and add 400-600 more calories.
Anyone need similar 'jump starts' into a diet? I just have to break my over eating cycle, but don't want to do permanent damage or really throw my metabolic rate completely out of whack...
Also, if you are kind enough to reply.. please bring some science based knowledge as to why this is or isn't a good idea??
Thanks to all
