Never believe these people who say, "If you don't eat enough, your body goes into 'starvation mode' and you GAIN WEIGHT instead of losing!", because ummmm have you ever heard of ANOREXICS?? They eat lemon water and 5 saltines a day, and they become skeletons, so obviously if you starve your body of food you WILL lose weight.

Duh.

Um...I just have to say that with Anorexics they are losing muscle, VITAL ORGAN TISSUE, and everything else in their bodies as well as the fat. Many people who are Anorexics, if they are not treated, die. My thought is that if you haven't read the DANDR book and talked with your doctor about what you are thinking about doing with Atkins and how you are going to pursue it, as well as talking with your doctor about using a Bullemic or anorexic technique to hasten weight loss, then you had better not start. Atkins is about losing weight in a healthy way so your body has time to adjust to it and you have a shot at making the weight loss permanent. If you think bullemic or anorexic behaviour is ok to enagage in at any time ever, well you had better go tell your doctor about that. That's extremely unhealthy and you could cause yourself some irreperable damage along the way. I've seen people hospitalised for both conditions and still they needlessly die. These 2 conditions are also afflictions of the mind as well as body, if the mind part of it is not healed, a person will go right back to the behaviour after treatment and they can still die. forget about losing weight for now if you are considering using bullemic behaviour and get out of that mental space. Come back to Atkins when you can do it the right way by the the book and understand it at the same time. We don't need another person on this planet made sick because of either of those 2 nasty disorders.
