Once you start eating regular again the weigh will come back on strong. You NEED to eat healthy and normal meals.
Reply from Britney, Age 16 - 03/22/06 - IP#: 209.158.139.xxx Yes you are taking up bad eating habits when you're dieting its very important to get all your meals in everyday. Its a fact that if you starve yourself or dont eat a lot then your actually lowering your metabolism and your body isnt burning fat which is not good. You always want to eat the recommended three meals a day because if you dont then you will be unhealthy and could end up gaining more WEIGHT ! so try to lose weight the healthy way . Good Luck

Reply from christina, Age 16 - 03/22/06 - IP#: 24.233.65.xxx You are picking up bad eating habbits. Your loosing weight now, but your body will soon become used to you only eating 1,000 calories and it will be hard for you to loose the weight. You need to eat atleast 1,300 calories, or your body will go into starvation mode. Thats great that you already lost some weight but try changing your eating habbits becuase if you can't then when your done with your diet, you will just gain the weight back on.
