Is my diet okay?

Question

One of my friends was trying to lose weight fast so she could join the Navy, so she ate a little over a thousand calories a day, excercised, and took diet pills so she would be hungry all the time. Well, one day I had a wake up call and realized that I am also fat and so I started doing the same thing. She lost weight really fast and it's working for me, but alot of my friends say I'm hurting myself.

I don't get it. If you want to loose weight you diet and exercise. I'm only using the pills to control my appetite and I'm taking half the recommended dosage. Is it really all that bad? Or are my friends just jealous because I'm losing weight?

Answer 1

You need to eat more calories. Your body is going into starvation mode by having less then 1000 a day. A normal female needs between 1200-1800 if she is not active. You are active therefore you need more. Diet pills are not good for you but I do not think they are horrible. The only problem is if you stop taking them your weight will balloon up. So my suggestion is to stop now and continue working out so that your weight stays down.

You can Lose 9 lbs every 11 days after you know these facts:

Low Fat Foods DON'T WORK.........
You cannot lose weight using Low Fat Diets. Low fat foods have been popular for more than 15 years, but yet our society is getting more overweight as each year passes. This fact alone should tell you that eating a purely low fat menu is not the answer to losing weight.

Low Calorie Diets DON'T WORK........
You won't lose weight using a Low Calorie Dieting Plan either. In fact, eating low calories is the worst thing that you can do to your body, since that will only slow down your body's fat burning engine and ruin all chances of losing weight (low calorie diets may allow a few pounds of weight loss for the first few days, but then after that all weight loss comes to a halt --- known as a dieting plateau). You can never get slim by starving yourself.

Low Carb Plans DON'T WORK.......
You'll probably find it extremely difficult to get slim using a Low Carb Dieting Plan. Low carb diets have recently become popular over the last couple years, but the problem with low carb menus is that they are too strict and TOO HARD TO FOLLOW for average people. Low carb menus tend to rob your body of too much energy (carbohydrates) and make it nearly impossible to remain on the program for very long. This is why so many dieters find it difficult to follow a strict low carbohydrate menu.

In fact,the food that you eat can either make you THIN or FAT!!!
