Extreme starvation : diets are NOT the way to go. You could make yourself quite ill. You may also sabotage yourself because when the body goes into starvation mode you will burn calories more slowly.

Anorexia...: ...is a lethal disorder. Your electrolytes can quickly become out of balance leading to death. Please talk to your primary care physician about your body image and seek referral to a specialist if necessary. Many people find support from Overeaters Anonymous (a group for all with eating disorders).
