I've been on a low calorie (700) diet for about a week.....?

Question

The strange thing is, i've been getting a lot of whiteheads around my mouth and on my chin. I usually get a couple of whiteheads every day, but i'm getting about twice as much as usual. i'm just wondering why?
My average daily diet is like this:

1/4 of a honeydew melon,
3 or 4 rice cakes
egg salad,
2 glasses diet coke,
about 10 glasses of water.

Anyone have any answers? Thanks!!

Answer 1

the dermis is the largest organ of the human body and you are neglecting it by having really not much fat or nutrients in general in your diet. i'm not sure why you would think your body would function better when it's starving.

honeydew has lots of nutrients but from a caloric perspective it only provides simple sugars. rice cakes are absolutely horrible for dieters they lack nutrients and have a high GI of usually over 70. might as well just eat some table sugar. the only protein and fat in your diet comes from the egg salad.

that diet will do nothing positive for your body

Answer 2

Honey...the whiteheads are the very beginning of what will turn out to be a major problem if you do not up the calorie intake. Your skin is usually the first indicator of your diet. Those who eat really sugary and oily foods...acne prone or oily skin. THose who drink lots of water & eat veggies & fruit....healthier skin. Eating so little on a daily basis means your skin is CRAVING nutrients. The whiteheads are indications that your body chemistry is out of wack and u need to fix it soon. If you dont, the whiteheads will turn into blisters, the blisters will spread and your skin will develop dry scaly patches and lose its color. Your hair will begin to thin and....i wont even go on. I've seen it happen a dozen times.

You need to eat at least 1900 calories per day. That is even below what dietitians suggest for health reasons.

Answer 3

Your question shouldn't be about whiteheads, it should be about what kind of diet you should be on. If you want to lose weight, go do some physical activity. Don't be stupid about your body, you only get one of them.

Answer 5

your diet is extremely dangerous! You should never go below 1000 calories and then only under a doctor's orders.
