From Lacy, Age 17 - 03/23/03 - IP#: 65.28.35.xxx Click here to reply Ht. 5'3", Today: 130 lb (BMI %tile: 71) - omg! I just ate pizza. I hope I dont gain any more weight. I was trying to do this only salad diet. But I blew it! I'll start back up tom. I like salad, the only bummer is that is has to be dry and plain, (no dressing or almonds or carrots, etc) and that you cant drink anything but water during the day, those are my standards. Wish me luck. I am thinking of taking diet pills. Do they work? the only thing that has kept me from taking them, is that this particular pill contains Ephedra, which is linked to heart problems and numerous deaths. any ideas? im 5'3 and 130.
Reply from Diana, Age 15 - 08/14/03 - IP#: 205.188.209.xxx No,no!Diet pills are not the answer hon!Diet pills can make your heart beat much faster.And where did you here about this salad diet?If I were you,I'd skip the salad diet.Your not getting enough carbs and calories!Your almost starvig yourself just by drinking water and eating salad everday.It's okay to eat salad and drink water but with a diet that includes fruits and vegetables.And has for dinner have cereal with low fat milk.You don't need to lose weight.Your 130 pounds girl!If I was 130 pounds like you,I wouldn't worry about my weight.Be happy with yourself and stay cool.And last but not least..STAY AWAY FROM THE DAMN DIET PILLS!!!!

Reply from Destiny, Age 15 - 03/24/03 - IP#: 66.80.97.xxx hey, I know that it`s hard to lose weight, but if you just eat one thing(salad) it will slow done your metabolism and it will take longer to lose weight. You should do a diet like... Breakfast- A glass of milk (try to do skim or 1%) Lunch- A Fruit (An orange or apple is what i would recommend)Dinner- A Baked Potato or Salad (on the salad have things like tomatoes,carrots,and if you like dressing non fat ranch or whatever kind you like!) You also need to add exercise to you`re daily routein! good luck!

Reply from Pinksy1, Age 17 - 03/23/03 - IP#: 64.12.96.xxx I used 2 take diet pills, like hydroxicut and metalbolife. they made my heart race and its kind of hard 4 me 2 do strenuous exercise. dont do it. i saw a talk show recently where people had strokes and have died. dont do it. u r much better doing it urself. besides, when i did take them, my mom told me, "what, DO U PLAN ON TAKING THIS 4 THE REST OF UR LIFE?"
Reply from Erin, Age 14 - 03/23/03 - IP#: 69.21.0.xxx Hey! You don't need to keep yourself eating only on thing. Your body needs to have a certain amount of protiens, natural sugars, and vitamins a day, and your not going to get those by just eating a salad. (And don't worry about not having carrots in your salad because carrots are healthy!) No those diet pills don't help. They may help you lose like 5 lbs, but after so long it comes right back. Good luck! ERIN
