I think healthy eating plans are far more practical, as they're long-term, and are genuinely good for you.
I was not being harsh, buddy. I was stating my opinion on diet things. Just simply wondering why people would try things like that. Tapeworms are just as effective and probably just as safe. "May cause gas with oily discharge" gross, funny and yet a warning on diet pills that I have seen.
me too
i was officially warned yesterday.
I have not had an official warning but i have a Body Mass Index of 17.9 or something :eek:
The only bad side i found with losing weight was losing most of my boobs as well, pah we all pay a price eh
This type of diet does more harm than good.

I need to put on somewhere in the region of about 10kg, although my doctor doesnt seem too worried about it. I'm healthy and my weight is steady. He has said that I should try and eat a bit more though.
I actually felt tempted to contact GMTV this week because for the last few years they have run this inch loss island thing where people get sent away to lose weight. They do all kinds of stuff with them from fitness training, eating plans etc yet they hardly ever do anything for under weight people................so why, why are we neglected ?
there was the one guy who was underweight on the fit farm. but he really wasn't that skinny, he just wanted to bulk up a bit.
and i have an official warning because i have a history of eating disorders, so they get a bit mental if i accidentally lose quite a bit of weight. my bmi's at 17.3 now, and if it drops below 17 she's going to 'take action'. i'm not entirely sure what action.
I must have missed that one, cant remember him. Either way though programmes are always made for people who need to lose weight, people who need to gain weight need help and advice as well.
hhhmm it seems as though your having a hard time yourself, hope you can sort it out.
why is it that so many people find weight insults about thin people acceptable when those about fat people aren't?
Calling somebody for example "fatso" would be considered really hurtful whereas calling somebody a "skinny bitch" is seen to be less so?
Even my (now ex)-boyfriend would comment on my fat gain. Until we explained that for English girls being called fat is an insult not a compliment... and from then on he kept assuring me that I wasn't fat. Bless him.
I think it's because in Brazil they associate super-skinny with poverty and curvy-figures with wealth.
and if only people realised that its no fun being skinny. Like on on occasion whn i was out with the girls and this fella i know said to me 'God your dead skinny arent you', that still lives with me and when im out i think people are looking at me thinking im dead skinny. So you people who long to be skinny its not all its cracked out to be, infact being skinny can give you total lack of confidence and feel paranoid at times.
I guess the 'perfection' of human beauty is always what is slightly beyond the masses. If the society is poor and hungry then being slightly chubby means you are rich and powerful.
Now when the masses are large being slim shows you out to be slightly above those.
I guess it shows that human desire is changable.
