look I've got 2 eating disorders and for me it's a fight to eat and keep the food down everyday but no matter what diet or disorder your going though you need to eat at least 1 healthy meal a day. you could get weight loss pills (BUT PLEASE PLEASE BE CAREFULL HOW YOU USE THEM) and exercise to help lose any extra weight but be care full once you get a eating disorder you'll have it for the rest of your life and when your 14 you could still have a little puppy fat witch will go away on its own with the proper healthy diet and exercise

9 days. What rot. You are telling lies.
If not you are anorexic and will die a skeleton

14? Eat, for the love of God!! Eat!! You will NOT lose weight that way, you are endangering your health!! Stop it right now!! Where are your parents??
Good calories + Exercise + Fresh air + Sleep = HEALTH


Daniele
You are slowing down your metabolism which will cause you to gain more weight- #2- if you haven't eaten in 9 days then you would be dead, don't lie

Sorry but if this is true then you need professional help. Does your mum know what you are doing?
I suggest you speak to a school counsellor tomorrow, first thing.

if you dont eat for ages , the body goes into starving mode so when you do eat youll be storing more calories . just cut down on fatty food . EAT !!you may have anorexia


louby lou
Not eating is not a good way to loose weight. Your body will think you are starving and will cling on to calories therefore you won't lose weight. In order to lose weight and keep it off you need to eat healthily and exercise. Please don't starve yourself.

oh no, not another freak. what about exercise?

#1 you're not gonna lose a lot of weight in 9 days, so give yourself time!#2 please, please, please do not starve yourself! you may lose weight that way, but it won't just be fat it'll also be muscle.you can also stop having your period, lose your hair, have trouble sleeping, pass ot a lot, cause yourself heart problems, and DIE!and that is nowhere close to a complete list. #3 to lose weight the healthy way, eat healthy and work out.my "secret weapon" food is celery, you burn more calories eating it than there are in it, but you still get nutrients to keep your body going.
and to the person who called this girl a freak, SHE IS NOT!!
and to the person who said she was lying , you can live up to 2 weeks without eating, more if you drink water. you have never been anorexic, you don;t know what you're talking about!!!!

Not eating is NOT healthy! Your body will refuse to lose or try to hold on to fat to make up for lack of nourishment. If you are extremely obese see a doctor and get on a decnt diet and exercise program. Unless you are somehow disabled there is no reason for a girl your age not to be able to exercise.
Good luck and EAT!

well you are going down to starvation level so in order for your body to protect itself it stops burning calores quickly. You will lose weight fast but put it on. Read alan carrs easyweigh to lose weight hes the wordls leading specialist hes on the net.

Hello there,

please slow down,you should not be so concerned with your weight at your age..you are only 14 and your body is still growing..talk to your mother..she should be worried.I felt the same at your age,i wanted to look like all the thin girls in those flashy magazines..then i developed a serious eating disorder that went on for 5 years.There no such thing as a diet as such.

Eat plenty of fruit and veg.
drink water,eat sensibly.

i am very worried about your mental health more,you should not be concerned so much with image and weight,you will make yourself ill,and worse become infertile and stop periods if you carry on.Stop now..it is madness.

i am speaking in a caring way and i am a parent myself..i am 27 with two girls.

take care..thow those silly fashion mags away now!

Good for you for wanting to be healthy. Try not to think of quickness as part of goal to lose weight. Your goal should be to lose weight and enjoy doing it. For you and the program you choose how to lose should be or add a fun part to it. suggestions:music-sing,dancing,and or playing an instrument. Don't count out sports. There are a variety and get into something lightly and progress.
Pick and do these things perhaps with a partner. The more you enjoy doing, the more you will lose too. Good for you and eat healthy.

ur one crazy teenager............. nothing can make u loose weight fast its in constant planning a healthy balanced low fat diet over 6 mths which is healthy n wont hurt ur health in future


redikorus
When you stop eating, your body goes in to starvation mode, then when you do eventually eat, you put heaps of weight on. The body thinks ''i'll have to keep all this food as fat just incase it happens again''. You slow your matabolism right down. You would of probably fainted by now too. It's really not good and if you want to lose weight and keep it off, you need to eat sensibly, not starving yourself.

You need help. The school counselor and the school nurse or better yet, your family doctor can provide you with the help you need to achieve a good weight. Starvation dieting will get you put into the hospital -- where you will not lose any weight at all and will probably gain weight. You don't want to go there. Talk to an adult that you trust, if nothing else. Good luck.

You need to lose weight at a steady rate as much as you will hate to hear it. Not eating won't make you thin really fast but it will make you weak and prone to all manner of illnesses and fainting.

There are lots of ways of losing weight you just need to find something that suits you. Good luck and speak to your parents they will be able to help you with this

You can loose weight but not as fast as you think, its takes the body quite a bit of time to adjust. Starving helps a little. Exercises, vegetables and courage work better.


loopyannielou
You should see a doctor about this, it's very concerning indeed! You could harm your body by starving yourself and it won't make you lose weight quickly because your body goes into starvation mode and stores fat for energy. The only way to lose weight sensibly is to eat well, drink plenty of water, exercise and sleep well. Good luck


missalexis_b
Starving yourself will only slow your metabolism down. When your metabolism slows, your body burns fuel much slower and will go into starvation mode. I'm not going to say 'what the hell are you doing....etc' like some people may do, after all I know nothing about you, what you weigh currently and why you want to lose weight so desperately. All I will say is be careful, lplease ook after your body. Starving will only damage your internal organs in time to come.

I recommend you take a look at this girl who has put some videos up on youtube about her experience with an eating disorder (not that I am suggesting you have one....I am not a doctor, and starving yourself for nine days doesn't automatically mean you have an ED or are going to die), but they may make you think about why you want to lose weight so rapidly and are using a drastic measure for such purpose.

I hope this is a joke.
The only way to lose weight is to eat!
Your body needs fuel to function, starving yourself simply means that your body hangs on to any calories, as it doesn't know when it is going to be fed again.
Eat a balanced diet, cutting out any foods with 'empty' calories and be patient.
Go see your G.P, and your local Weight Watchers meeting if you are serious about losing weight.

Losing weight is not an overnight process. Not eating will kill you. and you're only 14 why are you worried about your weight? Unless you're being supervised by a doctor losing weight at your age can be dangerous to your future health.

Eat something. Then go to the doctor and learn how to lose weight safely.

please go to see your doctor or talk to an adult you trust. you have anorexia and need help before it's too late

What you are actually doing is making your metabolism work harder to hold onto weight. What you need to do is eat all day long low fat or no fat foods. You need to eat so your body doesn't hold onto weight and thinks you are starving to death. Celery is mostly water, watermelon is mostly water, eat these all day and at meal time eat something like broiled fish or lean turkey and the weight will come off faster than if you starved yourself


LifeIsOneBigLesson
EAT!!! Life's too short to be starving yourself . . . . .I've never 'needed' to lose weight, but starving yourself for nine days......you'll just die.....and won't have lost much weight, even then.


emma w
please do not starve yourself it is really bad for your body, go to your doctor and ask him to write you out a eating plan. I lost half a stone in 1 week by doing the special k diet, you have a bowl for brekfast and a bowl for lunch and have a small dinner,xxxxx

Daft! What do you think you are doing?

Keep eating, for goodness' sake. Just eat a bit less - and keep off the junk - and exercise a lot more. Then your metabolic rate will stay up. Then you will burn off calories and lose weight much faster.


beaujolais_fairy_blossom
If you don't eat then your body will go into starvation mode which means when you DO start eating again your body will store the fat which means you'll put on more weight. You just need to eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly. At 14 you should be active and healthy and not have to worry about dieting.
Please be sensible. You could visit a dietition or nutritionist if you think it could help you to eat a balanced diet.

1. More and more people are trying to find the weight loss program that will work miracles. Does one exist? Not one that will work miracles, but there are some out there that will work for you. There trick is where to look, and what to look for. I can't really show you where to look or exactly what to look for, but I can give you a few facts and details on why nothing has worked so far.
2. You are probably overweight because of the most simple of reasons. Because you are eating your meals at the wrong time of the day, you are eating the wrong foods, and you are eating the wrong types of calories in each meal. Food is actually more powerful than any kind of weight loss pill you can buy. How is that? Because the food you eat determines weather you are fat or thin. Most will tell you that you get fat because you don't exersize.Wrong! You get fat because you don't eat the right foods at the right time each day. One secret is that you have to eat more than 3 times per day. The pattern that you choose to eat your meals every day is more powerful than any weight loss pills. More than likely you have gotten overweight by eating the wrong foods but you can slim back down by eating the right foods at the right time each and every day. Let's take a look at some of the things that don't work.
3. Low Fat Food Doesn't work. You can't lose weight using low fat diets. Almost everybody today is buying low fat or non fat food, however everybody is getting fatter by doing this. Low fat foods have been popular for more than 15 years, yet our society is getting more overweight as each year passes. This should tell you something. The low fat menu is not the answer to dieting.
4. Low Carb Plans Don't work. More than likely you will find it too hard to lose weight on a low carb diet.Why? Because they are too strict and too hard to follow. It takes tons of energy out of your body which makes it nearly impossible to stay on the program. A popular low carb diet is the Adkins Diet. The problem with Adkins is that it puts you on basically a starvation level of carbs, with only 80 carb calories a day for the first few weeks. Basically this is like starving yourself.
5. Low Calorie Diets Don't Work. Eating low calories is the worst thing you can do for your body. All this diet does is slow down your body's fat burning engine and ruin all chances of losing weight. Actually the first few days you will lose a few pounds. But then it comes to a stop and you will be stuck in a diet plateau. The reason for this is that your metabolism will detect a major drop in calories and then adjust itself to burn fewer calories each day.
6. What you have to do is rotate your eating patterns. When you rotate your eating patterns it takes a few days before your metabolism can adjust to the new eating patterns. And by rotating your eating patterns this is what will force you to burn fat. The thing is, your metabolism has no idea what you will eat in the coming days. Your metabolism always burns calories from what you have eaten in the prior days. So you have to shock your metabolism into thinking something different. This is called The Shifting Calories Theory.
