    I go with smaller pages because I hate scrolling through one huge page, so in my setting it was indeed 8 pages.
    Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy

    Something along the lines of "blah blah blah."

    There's also amputation. But the funny thing about all the easy ways to lose weight is that they generally don't do anything about the titty diet or lack of physical activity so most people still eat terrible food, are still unhealthy, and are still headed for health issues like heart disease or diabetes. They'll just take up fewer seats on the bus while they do it.

    What Raist said. If you think the thread is stupid then a novel approach to dealing with it would be to not click on it. To do anything else would be to assume that any of us care if you think the thread is stupid and in my case at least you would be incorrect. /smug

    I don't know about that. The less I eat over a couple of days, the less I want to for the rest of the week. Like, I'll be eating a third helping at dinner one day, and then the next couple of days I'll skip both breakfast and lunch because I just don't have the time, and then after that I won't be able to finish a salad in one sitting until I work myself back up to it again. I heard not eating makes your stomach shrink, but I don't think that's quite right. I think it's more like your stomach is less stretchy? In any case, I can buy that eating less makes you want to eat less. Totally fasting probably isn't the healthiest way, but if it's just a one-time thing I wouldn't worry about long-term effects. Sleep deprivation on the other hand only seems to work because the body needs to catch up.
    I'm not saying it won't make you less hungry (that's your metabolism grinding to a halt), just that it is dumb to try and lose weight that way. Losing good weight requires exercise, a good diet, and lots of work. There is no easy way to lose weight.
    The fasting isn't to lose weight, it's to decrease your appetite, making it easier not to cheat on the aforementioned good diet

    Not that it's fool-proof

    Man, why can't you people just exercise and eat whatever you want? Diet is the EASIEST PART - just stop eating trash and oops women will look great. It's called recomposition diet and it happens magically!

    The iron deficiancy has nothing to do with the water fast, it was just a side note

    I put on my pants today and there was no muffin top. I was happy. Still am happy.

    Yes the water fasting was motivation for me. Its not like I am planning on doing it again. (Soup fast maybe) I eat better (and less) and have been doing increasingly more exercise. Went swimming at a lake (thats right) and we swam about halfway across to a little island and back. My legs hurt so bad. Will be going camping and hiking and swimming this weekend.

    Been writing again. I am at chapter 5 of my book. I am not entirely satisfied but I am told it is normal to have to rewrite so now I am just focusing on getting my main idea out there. I will worry about the details later.


    ANYWAYS my point being I feel good.
    Btw I don have internet so scuse me if I don answer for a few days. I gotta haul ass to the library. Which is uphill. In the rain (sometimes).

    Ima do before and after pics on my weight loss journey

    I could do the same but I don't feel like it. But it would be something like 15 lbs in 4 months, which I can do reliably as I've done it on purpose (ie I purposely gain weight) every year since I was 29

    By sheer coincidence:

    I stopped eating since about 1am last night. this morning I had a glass of water and went to the gym. I still haven't ate.

    I hope you didn't faint :O_O:

    I always try to eat when I'm hungry...but this past week I've had instances when I go all day without eating and only drinking coffee cause I was so busy at work

    She didn't say anything like that in the OP.

    But she talked repeatedly about her appetite in later posts! And she mentioned meeting with a diet specialist.

    Oh, I'd like to know how the appointment with the dietician went.

    Even if it lowers your appetite, it isn't permanent. If you resume your original eating habits you'll be worse off than you started. It might be a good "jump-start" as people have mentioned, but no one should go in expecting miracles. And should be prepared for the slower metabolism. And know that your body is capable of cleaning out "toxins" by itself...especially if you're young and in generally good health.

    That's after the fact. >:[

    And it lowers your metabolism, so it's not like a lower appetite really helps.

    And this stupid reply box is really getting on my nerves now.
