Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
Most diets are successful because they consist of six or so small meals a day. If you need a snack to keep you going, you should try some low fat yogurt or real fruit. Bread is the thing most people cut out when they're trying the method that you do. It's important that you don't skip any meals because you may end up eating more later because of it. Eat smaller portions of meals, but don't cut them out completely. Fruits, veggies, low fat milk, and moderated amounts and/ or fat free snacks in between meals, that way you aren't super hungry when it comes meal time, that way you DO eat smaller portions.

those aren't really the best foods to be eating to lose weight. and you aren't going to lose weight wihout getting sick because you're basically starving yourself. you can't just go on a diet to lose weight. you need to exercise also. if you make your biggest meal breakfast then you will burn it off during the day. make sure you aren't eating white bread (substitute with wheat, multigrain, etc.). eat lots of fruits and vegetables. drink lots of water (don't drink pop or really sugary juices). believe it or not froyo isn't that good for you and you should probably eat regular yogurt with fruit or something instead.

Stop doing this. You'll only gain it all back as soon as you stop and if you don't stop you'll die. There are men in refugee labour camps in Africa who are eating more than you a day (and dropping dead on a regular basis).
You will have to stop this eventually, and then you'll gain the weight back, because it wasn't real weight loss in the first place. Your body didn't learn to change, it just ate itself. It will build itself back again the second it gets a chance.
This is not a solution. This is short-term stupidity.
You seem to know that 'starvation mode' is a bit of a myth, and it IS a 'bit' of a myth, but only because people misunderstand it. What actually happens is that suddenly dropping your calorie intact that low slows down your metabolism and the body becomes more efficient (for a while). This can slow down weight loss to a halt. That's when you start to faint and get really sick before you lose any weight.
You need to be consuming at least 1000 calories a day. That is the absolute minimum to keep your body functioning in the long term.
Right now your plan is not a weight loss plan; it's a very slow suicide plan. You need a better plan. Please, go talk to a doctor or nationalist if this is so important to you and let them help you create a plan that will actually work, and will keep working, for years to come. The path you are on will at best disapointment you, and at worse, kill you.

ok if you want to loose weight using this (notso great method) you need to GRADUALLY stop eating lots of calories.
AND workout.
the key to gettin slimmer is GRADUALLY introdrucing excersize and diet into your system.
not going BAM in one go cus your body will only protect itself from what its used to
gradually is the key word to this answer.

Well you said that you sometimes skip lunch, this isn't good believe it or not! What works for me is that eating a big meal for breakfest, but with healthy low calorie foods. Lunch is the second biggest portion of food, healthy and low in calorie count. If you haven't discovered already, the food portions get smaller and smaller so the last meal of the day, dinner, should be the smallest. The reason this is, is because you lose more calories during the day doing everyday activities, then you do less activities after lunch then after dinner you sleep where you lose nothing or near nothing. Your eating habits currently could be why you are losing one pound yet gaining two. I say eat a bigger lunch so you won't be as hungry at dinner and you will eat less at dinner.
Hope I helped!

Hello.
bread-80
coffee/half&half-22
egg whites (2)- 34
froyo-110
fiber 1- 400
You're looking at approximately 500-600 calories per day here. As I'm sure that at one point you used to eat much more than this, your body will have to adjust to this change by retaining as much fat as possible. You already know this, but I just want to point it out because the way I've lost weight in the past was differently.
Personally I think you're going to have to eat in the 1000-1500 calorie zone if you want to get anywhere with this weight loss.
Also, it helps to eat various times per day as opposed to breakfast, lunch, and dinner. By spacing out meals and especially skipping them as you are doing, you are actually slowing down your metabolic rate. The more often you eat, the more you force your body to process food quicker. Eat many snacks rather than few meals.
Also, lots of water is great for weight loss. It helps cleanse your body and regulates your digestion.
PS: I think that the chicken salad is a good idea. You should incorporate many vegetables into this diet of yours.
Anyway, good luck with this and take a multivitamin!
