Is this good?

my gf is on diet to lose weight and she today only eating apple, no food till next thursday so is good thing to do?
Answer:
Starvation is not a good way to loose weight. It is better to make small sustainable changes than drastic ones that you can keep up with.

Sooner or later she WILL give in to the urge to eat normally and then she will probably binge.

A good and small step to take if you want to loose weight is to cut you soda intake.

Quick fix, short term diets NEVER work since you won't be staying on them for long.

No, she'll actually gain weight because her body will think she's starving and whatever she takes in will automatically go to fat.

She needs to eat either 3 balanced meals a day, or 6 smaller meals a day and just eat right.

NO
she might be developing an eating disorder. tell someone

---

noooooooooooo that is bad she is going to end up getting fatter because inside your stomach the acid is eating the insides of you so she can probbaly get fatter tell her to do something better to be on a diet!

---

NO! That is not at all good for her to do.

You really need to let her know that starving herself is never the way to go about dieting.

She needs to get on a proper diet, and exercise plan.

Best of luck!

No, she'll probably faint and/or die. Or after two days be so hungry that after crying for an hour she'll go to Sonic and order every sandwich they have!

Seriously people, you can't eat nothing for a week without suffering some SERIOUS consequences. And what do you plan on doing after not eating for a week? Eating whatever you want for a week? It is healthier to be happy and eat sensibly all the time.

Why don't you encourage her to just have healthy eating habits, like maybe make her a nice dinner, or just a nice pbj and some carrots! That is a healthy meal.

Also, you guys could exercise together. I would LOOOOOVE it if my boyfriend would go running, walking, or biking with me (or playing basketball, any sport, swimming!).

This is gonna sound stupid, but how do you start a topic and ask a question?

---

NO you need to get her to a Doctor because if she keeps eating like that she will get a olser

---

no it's wrong because she will actually gain weight. just ell her to actually eat about 5-6 meals a day but like half the portion that she would normally eat. something realy helthy, like for example for luch tuna, with a little bit of mayo, on wheat bread and a glass of orange juice. it really good and very healthy! for breakfast a bole of wheat cereal with like 2% milk or skim milk (i prefer 2% skim is gross) and for dinner maybe fish or something. no junk food. and the good part AS MUCH FRUITS AND VEGGY'S AS HEART DESIRES! cuz no matter how much of them u eat, u will never get fat!! i just love that about fruit!!

good luck! hope i helped

no she needs to eat a balance meal and needs to eat three times a day breakfast. Lunch, and dinner and she needs to eat snaks in between meals to get her metabolism going and she needs to watch her fat,carbs, and calories,and she needs to workout between 30min to an hour for lets say 5days a week with two days rest cuz thats what i did to lose my weight and i got great results and she will to if she just stick with it

---

If I were you I would try to comfort her to a point where she feels secure but not scared--(girls will get scared if you are worried about them, i dont know why)--- Then slowly encourage more eating. For example, if you are out eating; then offer her some of your food if she doesn't order enough food for a normal woman. If all else fails, then confront her on the problem. If she denies this problem, then you need to talk to someone close to her (Mother, Father, Bro...). This is a serious problem if not solved. If you feel she is in danger, she may be. These sorts of problems can leed to Anarexia or even death----- but death is only if isn't solved within a month and a half or so. So you dont have to worry too much. Hope it helps!

NO! this leads to many health problems. "Diets" like this cause you to lose muscle mass, which slows your metabolism. This means thar when you eat, your body converts the energy to fat very quickly, meaning you then GAIN fat.
Sounds like she has a problem ie eating disorder. Be very supportive, and if the behaviour continues dont be afraid to seek help on her behalf, ie parent, counselor, teacher, nurse, doctor.

What she is doing is NOT safe. She wont be getting enough vitamins etc, and this can make you very sick, even kill you.

---

nope, shell actually gain weight. tell her how unhealthy she is being! the only good diet is not a diet at all but a life change. Weight Watchers is the ONLY thing that works.

---

Absolutly not. You need to help her get through what she's going through now before it gets too bad. Obviously she feels insecure about her body and feels like she needs to lose weight. Tell her she's gorgeous the way she is, and that if she want's to stay gorgeous she needs to eat. She will end up gaining weight in the aftermath because she is starving herself. Once she starts eating again, she will gain all that weight back plus more. She needs protein among other things to function. She needs to want to help herself with this problem for anything to change. She's going in the wrong direction. If she wants to lose weight, tell her there are beter ways to do it.

---

Absolutely wrong! This can be very dangerous for anyone. But a young girl especially. She can start having problems with her blood sugars, and that is just a start. It can screw up her menstrual cycles...which means that if she keeps doing this she may wreck herself for having babies. Also,she can shut down all of her bodily functions one by one. Her body will be starving for food and so it will try to save her energy to keep her alive thinking she is dying! It can cause kidney damage, liver damage, and if it shuts down the pancreas she may as well forget about losing weight cuz noone will see her when she is so sickly and in the hospital. Don't you kids get it about the starvation diets? They kill ya not make you thin. Has she tried the Weight Watchers Points diet?? They have it online. Or she can go to a weight watchers in her area. She can start her own little program with her friends that want to lose weight. Go for walks and do exercises to music. Dancing is a great way to lose weight! But a body needs to be able to function to help you lose. See if she stops eating say this week ok? Then her body sees it is not getting the nourishment it needs to go on. So the body itself will store up what little fat she does have til l she eats again. Then when she decides that this diet is not a good thing and goes back to eating. then she will confuse her body into thinking ok now we have alot of food so we best save up the fat now so in case its another week before we eat. Do you see the cycle?? It is not a good thing for her or anyone to do this type of dieting. Sorry I sound like an angry mom. But I am a mom! But I do know this is true ok? Please listen ok?I am not angry at you just scared for your GF! So get her help ok? Good Luck and God Bless!
