Weight loss and weight management is mistaken by many as comprising of a starvation-oriented diet that aims at reducing excess weight. The cardinal rule of weight loss that cannot be stressed enough is ‘never starve yourself’. Your body has been designed to factor in extreme circumstances that can adversely affect health & will cautiously step into a storage mode where each morsel you consume will be hoarded against a perceived time of want. The end result would be frustration and weight gain-neither of which was you set out to achieve.

I should like to add to your statement that we should pay attention to our body constitution. We can reduce our body weight only to some specified values. An excessive loss of the body weight leads to the serious health problems.

I think it's VERY sad that there are so many girls out there who feel the need to starve themselves. I must admit, I've been there, but I would never go there again. I'm just glad my problem never got to some of the crazy extremes girls will go to. I think it's important to be comfortable in your own skin and love who you are!

Starving is not dieting. Diet is eating in moderation and avoiding foods that gives extra calories. I feel sorry for those people who starve themselves to become sexy but in the end, they become weak and have health problems.
