Sweetie, diet pills are very dangerous. That is why you have to be so careful. Stick to tried methods. I hear you. I lose weight by exercising. Eating healthy. And good lifestyle habits. Good friends. Walking with my dogs. Sleeping adequately. No short cuts. Thinking of you. Supporting you. We are in this together.

I'm so glad you made it through that episode.
I'll [i]listen[/i] to doctors' suggestions, but I won't necessarily do what they say I need to.

You have to really hydrate on the low carb diets. Water with a little sea salt or Himalayan salt in it for the electrolytes. As I understand it, as you lose weight the fat is released from the water, the hydrate part of carbohydrate, as it is stored in your body. So you end up losing a good amount of your natural water. I'm sure my explanation has holes in it but the main thing is the water with the electrolytes. I'm glad you are stabilized and feeling better.

Wow, what a scare. 🤗
Happy to hear that you are stable and healthy again.

I’m glad you’re feeling better. That sounds scary.

500 calories a day is insanity. That diet doctor needs to be shut down. I once tried the Women's Olympic Ski team diet, which guaranteed the loss of 20 pounds in 2 weeks. Lunch was a sliced tomato and an egg. I couldn't eat that combination for many years afterward without gagging.

I realize that no one can tell another person what to do, but ANY diet that is less than 1000 calories a day is dangerous and irresponsible.

Oh my God!!! I’m so very happy that you’re health and everything is back to a healthy measure… losing size is not as important as your health …

Tip: chew one or a half of garlic clove… depending on how high your blood pressure is … it will bring your blood pressure down

That diet would have killed me ! It was too aggressive !
My BMI is very low but I got there gradually after baby .

Glad you’re ok now.
And happy.

That's a scary BP. I had it once around there and I've been on a medication since. It's been pretty stable ever since.

In the days before I noticed numb and tingling in various areas

Often our bodies will dictate what is needed. You’re fortunate there wasn’t any harm done. Good luck on the remainder of your journey.

So much for doctors 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ugh that was horrific, but I hope are stable now and maybe you’ll get that last eight pounds off 💪

That seems like a lot of stress just to have your cloths fit well.

I have tried to lose weight by eating less. It works if I stick to it, but it is snacking that kills me.

Sorry you had so much trouble and reactivity.

I went on an 800-calorie a day of healthy foods and my hair started falling out a few weeks after I started. Even after going back to a regular diet and eating more my hair continued to shed for over 3 months. I don’t know how you can eat so little and not have problems.

That is not healthy way to lose weight.
Nobody should be restricted to 500 calories a day.

Going back on the meds?
