Most of us who have gone on the "diet of the day" have found that
we couldn't stick to them because they were too restrictive and
difficult to follow. I wanted to burn fat and lose weight, not live on
grapefruit and rice crackers.
Really, can anybody live their life on 800 calories a day? Would anybody want to?
Nobody I know can be their normal happy self if their stomach is screaming for food. You feel miserable and so does every body around you. Besides feeling grumpy, you are sending your body the wrong message.
When you drastically reduce you food intake, your body says "EMERGENCY-Save the Fat -- We'll need it later -- Hard times are coming". Your body goes into Survival Mode. Your metabolism slows down-way down.
