Go into any newsagents or supermarket and the shelfs are littered with magazines featuring skinny women. There are far too many fad diets out there that encourage women to eat next to no food each day on order to obtain there dream body. The truth is that a very low calorie diet and exercise can be as unhealthy as a high calorie diet and no exercise. People really need to start understanding there body Someone who eats too little is just as bad as someone who neglects there body in other ways whatever that may be. The human body is designed to feed off it's reserved when there is no other source of nutrition. Eating muscle tissue etc remember your heart is made up of cardiac muscle tissue so you can imagine the damage you are doing when you aren't taking in enough food.
Rather than starving yourself in an attempt to lose weight. Remain eating a balanced diet and exercise as often as you can. Find any physical activity you enjoy and get better at it. If you are physically unable to exercise. Reduce your meal portions slightly and eat more often. Sounds strange but eating smaller amounts every 3 hours keeps your metabolism at its optimum performance, maximising ur body's built in weight loss system.
Hope this helps people to understand a bit better. If it helps even one person understand that starving yourself can be more dangerous that you think then I'm happy. Thanks for reading ;)
