Anyway u should try this- before u eat anything drink water- so u would be full before u eat ur food,second dont eat after 6 pm eat all u want before 6pm then after that stop eating just drink water then sleep.

Reply from Taylor, Age 15 - 11/06/08 - IP#: 75.66.64.xxx Five thosand calories? That's REALLY unhealthy... at most you should be eating 2500, so if you're eating 5000 a day, you're eating twice as much as the average person. So you'll gain weight, because it'll be almost impossible to burn that many calories a day, since one pound of fat equals 3500 calories, you'd have to burn 8500 calories JUST to lose one pound...
