Is it okay to go on a 100 calorie only diet?!
Question:
Is it okay to go on a 100 calorie only diet?
And then immediately burn those 100 calories or more?
Answers:
You mean only eat 100 calories a day?
No.
Quick lesson in metabolism theory.
Your metabolism will adjust itself to use what you give it.
If you eat 1500 calories a day, it will adjust so that all it needs is 1500 a day to keep you going.
If you only taken in 100 calories a day, your metabolism will kill itself to adjust down so that all it needs a day is 100 calories.
THEN, when you decide to eat 500 calories, you will effectively gain weight. Brilliant huh? So, if you relish the idea of being restricted to 100 calories a day for the rest of your life, or gaining weight easily on oh, 500-600 a day, by all means go for it. Of course, you'll soon die from malnourishment, renal failure, heart failure, or any number of delightful health issues, but at least you'll die bony with your ribs and hip bones clearly visible.
