Ht. 5'7, Wt. N:255-260 G:180 - I have a quick question about the whole "calorie thing" I have plenty of friends that are smaller than me, many of them do not count calories and a couple dont even make it to 1200 cals a day because their used to not eating much, so does the same thing go for them like "starvation mode" my bestfriend doesnt eat breakfast, or lunch even tho i tell her to and she is perfectly healthy....i dont get it, why is it so important for people on diets to eat 1200 cals and not all the rest????

And you might feel fine now but you are destroying all of your organs so in a few years you will feel awful and when your older you will not be very healthy!
Reply from Teresa, Age 14 - 05/04/06 - IP#: 207.200.116.xxx I understand what your saying.when i was in public school, i used to skip breakfast cause it was to early, and didnt like eating lunch at school, so i would just eat when i get home. my best friend does the same and shes not really overweight. Too me 1200 calories is too much, on my diet i only get about 700, and i feel good. I say just eat when you feel like your hungry,and just enough so your not hungry anymore. thats what it says in "why french woman arent fat" or whatever its called. I know you should get all your stuff, i took a vitamin for that. i feel better. idk i guess it depends on the person :)
