Plants survive on water and sunlight! I do go to college y'know. That's some sunlight!
Do not exercise if you arent eating.Originally Posted by Shaun
Why?
1. you need food to fuel exercise. that is what food is for, its fuel for the body.
2. working out is pointless if you wont eat.
I can help you with whatever you need to know, take a martial arts class or something when you start eating again so it keeps you interested. I eat things like fruit, muesli, eggs, rice, frozen veg, bread, and even some junk food, and I love what I eat because im comfortable with it; i wasnt at first, and I know why food exists.
you will lose weight (read: pure fat) if you go about it right and eat good food, work out (anything from walking, martial arts, weight lifting, riding a bike, running, cardio machines, anything..).. I guarantee you after a month you will feel 100%. Your weight loss will be slow, but there is no quick fix. It took you years of doing nothing to get where you are today, it wont go away tomorow, itll take a few months, and starving yourself is putting the goal even further away as your body hordes onto every drop of fat it has.
I'm a big fan of the Mars Bar Diet; You don't eat the Mars bar, you stick it up your arse and let a rottweiler chase you home.
yeah sunlight and nutrients from soil...i don't go to college... so i guess that means you win superman
The problem is, I don't really like change. So doing all these strange exercises will be odd. If I started eating again, because my taste in food is so limited, I wouldn't be able to find anything healthy. Bah, gotta go now anyway, I'll check this thread when I can!
well good luck anyway...i hope you change your mind.
My challenge is to become NANNY MANUS new best friend.
But it is too hard.
Actually eating isn't necessisary if you get your nutrients from liquids. Water alone likely won't cut it(unless you got a lot of junk in your water). However, a mix of water, juices and ..... are they called protien shakes? But yeah, lots of different liquids can be used to make up what you don't get from food. I myself drink far more than I eat[about 1-2 meals a day, and I drink several gallons of liquids a day].
I don't know if you can pick everything up through liquids these days[though I would guess that you can find the majority of it at least]; but you could pick up enough that 'not eating' may not be as harmful as it usually would be in the short-medium terms.
Anyways I like eating a bit too much to go all the way away from it, but I do much prefer liquids for much of the day.
As for personal challenges trying to get more exercise in in the hopes that it will help fight my constant illnesses* I get(I may get 2-3 months of being healthy a year, if I am lucky). Fortunately the college has some nice equipment and I got a long break once a week, I figure I will start there. My biggest fear with it is that it will make me miss more classes than what my illness already causes(due to strain and exhaustion on my body weaking me and making me more succeptiable; however, excercise sometimes does help, and I should at least TRY something).
*Sad part was I thought those illnesses mostly went away after I started eating a bit less(though healthier) and absorbing a lot through liquids[lots of juice and vitimin enhanced liquids]. But I have taken a really nasty dip these last months and have not been able to shake no matter how hard I try.
STILL Updating the anime list. . . I didn't think I was that much of an anime freak! I don't even want to consider updating the manga list!
Shaun. Think about making it a bigger challenge eating something you absolutely detest like greens and stuff. You don't need to eat food food. You can always eat rabbit food, bread, stuff like that. I think. It'd be helluva lot better than starving yourself raw :/ and believe me, you won't be able to keep it up. It's not even about mental strength. What if you pass out or something? The doctors sure aren't going to listen. My advice; if you're so determined not to eat fatty stuff, then eat only vegetables or something. =)
it's possible entirely to live on an all-fluid diet, though i wouldn't recommend it. the fact is that the human body is designed to digest solid forms of plant and animal matter in order to function more or less properly in day to day life. to go against that just leads to problems
My biggest goal right now is to maintain a solid B or hopefully A average at UGA. Other than that, I'm trying hard not to get fat on the all-you-can-eat food service, and am doing my best to help improve the frontsite. I think I'm doing okay in all three regards, but the second might be a losing battle.
Hey, I dont like change either (or didnt, back then) but I rolled up my sleeves and got stuck into it. I'm a better person for doing it. Instead of trying to prove to yourself you can lose weight by starving yourself, you should prove to yourself you can live your life without needing to worry about food, and just take it as it comes, eat when you are hungry or when you need it (morning, after workouts and etc). Thats what I do. You'll eventually start to get hungry every few hours and you just take it as it comes.
I dont get what you mean by you say you dont like change, yet you are doing something very drastic which is completely out of order from your life style (since your trying to change that lifestyle). Why not make a positive change ?
I have a very limited taste in food, so I stuck with what I liked, but I ate less of it, then I eventually got to like other foods. Some people say they cant possible like raw veg and etc, but they aqquire a taste for coffee and for beer, and whatever else that needs an aqquired taste. There are healthy alternatives to everything.
You dont have to go and throw around weights for hours on end. Manchester is full of martial arts clubs, full of cheap gyms, and you can even stick to walking; I walk all the bloody time and it does me a lot of good. I dont have a gym membership and havent been in a gym for about a year, instead I do things that interest me like martial arts to keep fit.
you can only change if you want to change. i can give you links on what to do and inspiration and everything under the sun that i used 3 years ago to change my life, but im not going to waste my time if you do not want that change and would prefere to feel sorry for yourself and starve.

If you're actually doing this, you're going to end up hospitalized and force-fed either intravenously or through a tube. This isn't an intelligent way to go about controlling oneself. You can't exhibit any self control over the foods you take in, so you don't take in any at all? It seems to me you're doing the exact opposite of what you claim you're attempting here.
Signature by rubah. I think.
I'm sorry for the double post but I want to address the two posts seperetly without it looking messy and like one giant post. let it slide this one eh?
You can indeed survive on liquids, but you'll ruin your digestive system. the human body was not made to drink strawberries and bananas, it was made to eat them. Protein shakes are great, I use to take them all the time, but they are only protein. There are no carbohydrates (something the brain uses a lot) or any healthy fats whatsoever.. and the protein is whey so its absorbed very fast by the body. Protein shakes are designed to be taken after weight training sessions where the body is gagging for protein to rebuilt and regrow its muscle fibres which have been ribbed to shreds.
Drinking meals is fine if you still eat solid food, because liquid meals lack something very important: fiber, and roughage. you will get a lot more benefit eating a steak dinner then in liquid form, its digested differently.
Also your illness's could be a reaction to food you are eating, or you just arent eating enough.. the workouts should help it though if you are eating enough to handle working out.
