Going on a diet also slows down your metabolism, so when you stop your diet, you'll gain all the weight that you lost back. Therefore, if you achieve the weight you wanted, you need to maintain your diet. If your diet involves not eating carbs, you won't have the energy to perform well at doing stuff(varying from school, sports, etc..) So basically, if you achieve the weight you wanted through a diet, and the diet involves a lack of carbs, which your diet probably does because of it's low calorie count, and you don't want to gain the weight back so you have to maintain your diet, you basically just screwed yourself.
Diets are horribly unhealthy and competely ruins your metabolism, in some extreme cases, your body ends up eating it's own brain for nutrients. Exercise and eat healthy if you want to lose weight. [ TheWallflower's advice column | Ask TheWallflower A Question ]

Just eat in smaller portions and watch what you eat. [ BeachBum88019's advice column | Ask BeachBum88019 A Question ]
theymos answered Tuesday April 24 2007, 7:04 pm: Yes, that's horrible for you. You must consume at the very least 1000 calories per day. Any diet that demands less than that is bad for you. [ theymos's advice column | Ask theymos A Question ]
