LOOK people all im trying to say is sticking to a diet ignoring chocolate and crips isnt going to get ANYWHERE coz you WILL cave in at some point

you might as well eat it but just restirct your calories, mayeb not 700 but no more than 1400

Now the story has changed and it appears you're not actually saying people can eat 'whatever' they want.

And speak for yourself. I can't remember the last time I had a bag of crisps (and yes I do find them delicious) and I haven't had chocolate for a good few weeks now and I absolutely adore chocolate. Does it mean I'll never have it? Of course not. It's just not a part of my regular diet, just as chips, cake and chinese take aways aren't save the very odd occassion. Not that I drink a lot of alcohol anyway but I had my first night out without it and had a good time - I'd like to think I don't 'need' it and can live without it. It takes a lot of willpower if it's something you're used to eating but people can change. Encouraging people to do the wrong thing just because you can't live a certain way is not cool.

I see the point you're making, I did almost exactly this (not exercising, eating mainly crap but very few calories) a couple of months ago. It's nice to see the weight shedding so quickly isn't it? But then I found that's lost so much muscle tone that getting back into sport was really hard - I got tired after 5 minutes on the treadmill, and after a few minutes of a very tame tennis game I was exhausted - in fact I was pretty much tired all the time. It felt awful.

Tis better to eat more but exercise so the energy is fed into muscle repair to give you a nice toned body, oh and have you thought about eating more staple foods like brown rice and whole meal bread? Cause they make you feel nice and full and are pretty good for you without being watery and unfulfilling like salad.

Please take our advice, not exercising and not eating enough sheds the pounds quickly but that's about it!

the story hasnt changed, I'm saying people can eat what ever they want but not a lot of it.
Well then you're different to me, I've tried not having chocolate for ages but then after a few months someone will offer it me or I will have a lot of access over it say like at Easter and then end up stuffing my face with it because I havent had it in so long

Everybody s body is different (metabolism rate) ... so different things suite different people.....I know people have tonnes of cheese and fried stuff but never even put on a kilo becoz their metabolism is very high.... unlike me ... if I eat too much junk I would put on weight easily!!!



So in this case emilyteackae s diet suits her so she can follow it but 700 calories is quite low!!!! Even people on diets have 1000 calories a day min.!!!

She is ramming high amounts of sugar into her diet with no exercise or anything else. That is an express ticket to type 2 diabetes.
If she dodges that bullet, then she will most likely have other problems with her stomach and possibly her liver, not to mention being permanently lethargic with hormone problems.

thank you, TYPE 2 DIABETES. you just said 'diabetes'. being a person who was diagnosed with type 1 when i was 8, (I'm now 20) it actually really effects me when people throw in the word 'diabetes' without any clarification.

I'm a diabetic and it seriously annoys me when people say it's eating too much chocolate and crisps - go and read about it instead of believing whatever the news tells you

i have type 1 diabetes too and it annoys the crap out of me!

But low calories wouldn't cause type II diabetes. Massively overeating does, which she is doing the opposite.

Yes it would. Overeating would just make it occur more quickly.

Well as long as you're happy with looking good on the outside and killing the inside, then keep your silly comments to yourself. You've acknowledged that this lifestyle is unhealthy so why bother trying to promote it?

On only 700 calories a day having a chocolate bar and bag of crisps is already more than half your calories gone. And one bar of chocolate and a bag of crisps does not classify as 'whatever you want' by anyone's estimations.

As for the bit in bold, you'll just end up piling on the weight again and be at square one or even heavier. How is this an effective way to lose weight? 700 calories is not a diet anyone can or should maintain and not paying attention to what you eat will guarantee you will never maintain any weight lost as you'll only fall back into bad habits like you admitted.

the way you posted it in your original post made it seem like chocolates and crisps were all you ate, every day:

(Original post by emilyteacake)

But everyone posting here is right - you're being incredibly silly, and you'll find that as soon as your diet changes you'll pile on the pounds again

[Scoobiedoobiedo]

Not exactly a ground-breaking discovery that if you starve yourself you will waste-away lose weight.

Why don't you ingest a tapeworm OP? That way you can eat all you want and still lose weight.

[ThatPerson]

Damn...700 Calories is low. You may be losing weight but you'll be malnourished, espeically if you make up the 700 calories with crisps, chocolate, etc.

I'd rather have a balanced diet with around 2000 calories + exercise than do what you're doing to yourself.

[Spontogical]

Three bagels is 700 calories.. surely you can do better than that?

[biomagic]

i'm sure she gets the point, so why don't people stop making sarcastic comments, trying to sound super intelligent. It's just really annoying, one person against a good hundred here. She does eat a balanced diet for gawds sake, she's already told us she it's fruit every now and then, a lot of teenagers have fruit "every now and then", a lot of teenagers eat junk food, what she's fundamentaly trying to say is, on a diet do not restrict yourself to food which others might deem as boring: fruit, veg etc, and you can implement a little treat every now and then into your diet, but watch your calories.

I know I'd probably get a reply to this after an hour of analysing by some insecure, pompous, grammar nazi, but try to understand what Ms Teacake is trying to say first, rather than just make infuriating, irrational and hurtful comments!

I dont understand why people try to say a diet counting calories doesnt lose weight.

I tried for years only eating vegetables and salad but was so hungry all the time that I caved in and binged.

Now I eat whatever I want but no more than 700 calories and all my friends have commented about how skinny I am since I lost the weight.

I eat crisps and chocolate and bread and whatever I want and it's easy because I'M not limiting myself to boring foods, sure you do get hungry still but it's bareable and better than the hunger from eating simply salad.
I know this sounds unhealthy but I make sure I still have fruit and salad etc under my calorie control at least every other day.

I dont even excersize

You're one unhealthy **** then. 700kcals per day is not even maintenance for a 3ft1 woman who is sedentary.

Google IIFIYM and learn what actual nutrition is, because IIFIYM is NOT healthy.

[boba]

your eating nothing but crap so your body isn't getting things it needs
your eating a dangerously low amount of calories
you never exercise

do you not see how this is bad?

yes its ok to not eat perfectly and eating the things you like while still having a low amount of calories will make you loose weight. but she is also saying eating 700 calories a day is ok. 1200-1500 calories is probably a sensible amount for weight loss 700 is just ridiculous.

Was it worth resurrecting a three month old thread to say that?

Somehow I don't believe you're only getting 700 calories a day. My breakfast is like 300-450 calories on a normal day. During fasting, it's gone up to about 700

Chocolates typically contain about 250-450 calories per bar, and bread is about 90-100 calories/bread. Crisps are about 100-300 calories per packet. If you literally only eat one chocolate bar, two breads and one crisp packet in a day, then yes you'd eat 700 calories but that's neither good for you, nor recommended

My guess is that it's highly unlikely that you're only ingesting 700 calories
