What diet plan are you following? 800 calories is not enough. Your body will go intoi starvation mode. If you are following South BEach, you need to get the book and read the entries in our FAQ Forum.
well at times its around 900 to 1,000 im dont starve my self either no way i use to before i would eat about 600 a day but not no more i eat food yea but i dont eat meat , hamburgers , none of that u get me but i dont starve myself but yea whats ur diet like?
Regeton, anything under 1200 is UNSAFE. Please talk with a doctor or nutritionist. Your body is more than likely gaining weight because it thinks it is starving and is trying to combat the starvation. When you eat a healthy amount of calories, you will likely lose again.
Please do seek medical help with this to make sure you are losing weight heathily. So many people hurt themselves badly with unhealthy diets, and it can affect your health for the rest of your life in terrible ways. Here's a quote from Geneen Roth's book When You Eat at the Refrigerator, Pull up a Chair:
Quote:
When I was thirty-five, I was diagnosed with shingles. For the next seven years, I was ill, with constant diarrhea and a series of viruses, from pneumonia to pleurisy to flus. I felt like a string of antique pearls--fragile, brittle, always in danger of shattering. None of the twenty doctors or healers I consulted could tell me what was wrong. During the worst of it, I lost my hair, my skin broke out in bleeding rashes, and my fingernails fell off.
...
Seventeen years of fasting followed by overeating followed by dieting on Grape-Nuts or cigarettes and Diet Shasta creme soda had taken their toll. At eleven, when I should have been making sure I was getting enough calcium to develop strong bones, I was going on my first diet. At fifteen, when I should have been eating enough protein and fat to sustain the feverish pace of adolescence, I started a four year stint of diet pills. At twenty-five, I was anorexic. At twenty-seven, I gained eighty pounds in two months. And although my body had done a superb job of supporting me despite unremitting negligence--my legs had climbed mountain, my hands had written books, my heart had never stopped beating, opening, loving--it was, as Andy Griffith used to say, "just plum wore out." Because, though it appeared as if I were feeding my body, I'd been feeding my mind, my past wounds, my present stress.
...what we do to our body has consequences. I thought I got away with the month-long water fasts followed by weeks of eating nothing but Krispy Kreme doughnuts. But all those years of emotional eating had their effect: My health is fragile, I have gone through premature, illness-induced menopause, and I've been diagnosed with osteoporosis.
If, when I was eleven, someone had told me that the way I was eating might cripple me at age sixty, I probably would have kept right on eating Oreos for breakfast. And at age twenty, nutritional guidance probably wouldn't have stopped me from raw food diets and the ensuing anorexia. Nevertheless, I still wish someone had told me; I wish I could have made an informed choice about the food I ate and the course I was charting for the rest of my life.
So, I'll be the one to say it now: What you eat matters, not only to the size of your body but to its well-being. Depending on the strength of your constitution, your genetic background, your environment, and your inner life, the food you eat will skew your biochemistry in a particular direction, which will then affect the course of your life. This is not a prediction or a fear-based assumption; it is simply cause and effect.
