You don't gain anything by starving your body of essential nutrients to lose weight. It does work that way. It never stay off when you starve yourself.

Limit your calorie intake, cut out carbs and walk for l/2 hour every day.

First of all, DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF. Your body will eventually go into starvation mode and start storing all the fat it can, and you will gain everything back, plus some. I would like to suggest the lifestyle change that my boyfriend and I made recently. We have both been losing a lot of weight consistently and neither of us is dieting. We never feel hungry, either, which is really important.

1. Eat as many whole foods as possible. Avoid packaged food as much as you can. Stick to meats, cheese, nuts, vegetables, and fruit. Do not limit how much you eat, just what you eat. I was afraid this course would be too expensive, but you would be surprised how economical it can be. I also add one glass of green tea in the morning.

2. Try to consume only whole grains and limit white breads, white rice, white tortillas, and regular potatoes. If you love some of these things, by all means, eat them, just try to eat less and fill up on the meat and veggies instead. Stick to oats, whole wheat breads, etc. There are varieties out there that actually taste good, it's just a matter of finding them. The more fiber the better.

3. Only eat sugar one day a week. I am an avid sweet tooth, so this was really hard for me, but I have been surprised at how well it works. On your sugar day, eat whatever you want. Go crazy. I actually get excited now thinking about what I am going to eat on my free day. Now, I understand that there will be times when someone shows up with donuts, cookies, cake, etc. and it won't be your sugar day. In that case, don't feel bad, eat one cookie or a very small piece of cake. Eat it slow, savor every bite, then move on and wait for your sugar day. Also, keep some apples or oranges on the counter, and when you really want something sweet, eat one. Eventually, I found that I preferred the fruit to the sweets, even on my free day.

4. There is a great website that I started using to get the ball rolling. I had no idea how to begin, because I was so used to eating quick, packaged meals. The site is modernmenus.com. The nutritionist gives you 5 meals per week and there are plenty of leftovers after. If you are struggling with eating right, it may help. The best part, it's totally free and you don't even have to register on the site.

Eating this way offered me other benefits that never would have expected, too. My mood changed and I have become a lot more laid back and happy, and I have a lot more energy. I hope this is helpful and you can use some of it. :)

It is important to know if you are anorexic or just trying to be. There is a difference. Anorexia being a mental disorder, you can't help but starve yourself. With what you wrote, I'm thinking you're just using starvation as a diet, which is bad of course. So, that in mind, I think you should have a restricted diet instead (you need to eat, starvation should NOT be an option) combined with exercise. I know this sounds really basic, but it's true. However, you need to change these habits in terms of a lifestyle, not a temporary solution (not eating for example, or even a regular boring diet). You need to search for recipes that you will love that are full of good an healthy foods and you need to like the exercise that you do. For example, I love running because I can let my mind go blank while I listen to music. An hour running is like a well deserved break to me. But that's not what everybody likes. You may prefer bellydancing classes, it's fun and a good work out. As for food, look into vegetarian cuisine. It may become a passion of yours ;) I cook tofu a lot because you can find amazing recipes with different tastes that you create (tofu tastes what you put in it). It's even okay to eat a chocolate cupcake if you use soft tofu instead of milk and/or (yes, I love tofu). Same goes with salad dressing. One you're really good at mixing oils and vinegars with spices, eating a salad is not boring and it's not an annoying requirement.

Conclusion : food can be fun and healthy! You can enjoy exercise! There is nothing more beautiful than a woman happy and healthy, even with a bit of a belly.
