alright. what you need to do, is to start back with eating. now i know... the first thing that comes to mind when you think about food is FAT. and you need to get past that word...because all it is going to do is limit everything that goes on in your life. food shouldnt always mean FAT...right now, your body probably isnt used to a normal diet's amount of food. but not eating isnt healthy, and you know that. so what you need to do, is slowly start building up to a normmal diet. but a normal diet could consist of a spinach salad with balsamic vinegar on it... and maybe a fruit instead of a normal teenager's mcdonalds diet! ha. so just think of eating healthy and then when you want that one brownie or you want tht pizza, occasionally, its okay to splurge. but also excersize. even just daily stretches and a couple crunches is better then sitting at a computer or laptop all day like me! but pace yourself.. dont overdue it.. you could get seriously hurt. Dramatic weightloss, in some cases, isnt good... so take down your weight at gradual speeds ... and do it the healthy way. stay safe and god bless =]

you have high blood pressure, so you went on a low-carb diet?
what the hell?
high blood pressure. low cholesterol diet. plant-based. carbohydrates are your friend. they will not cause you to gain weight. eliminate animal-related products to lower your cholesterol. no meat. no milk. no eggs. no cheese. these foods have cholesterol which gums your veins. ta da. high blood pressure. a low-carb diet will only cause it to get worse and make you more sickly.
if it's not anorexia, it is just plain stupid.
