Default WHY do liquid diets work? Medifast - Optifast - HMR!


I'm sorry if you said this and I forgot but you don't say anything here
about exercise. Do what JMA did; don't let anything stand in the way of
exercising.

I am a person who has a tough time losing weight. Most people do anyway

but I
am resistant to it. Exercise has to be excessive, food intake has to be

perfect
and low calorie or I maintain. Yet medifast, a liquid diet, makes me lose
weight everytime I can stick to it.

I have eaten as little as 600 calories a day and never lost an ounce, yet

that
is about what a consume with medifast and off comes the weight. Why do I

go
into "starvation mode" on any other low calorie food diet but not on

medifast?
Does anyone understand why this works??

It is a sad fact of the world for everyone, but especially us ladies, that

we
are willing to torture our bodies to be thin. Here I am, suffering on
medifast, a diet that gives me heart palpitations and headaches, makes me

weak
and feel gross but willing to do it because it WORKS. Because other diets

cant
seem to get the last of the weight off me and the liquid diet always does.

I am so confused about dieting, I thought I was an expert. I have no idea

what
to eat to make me thin and healthy and stay that way. The only time I have
maintained my weight and not gained was on an 800 calorie a day ALL

PROTEIN low
fat and I mean ZERO carb diet. How the hell do I stay on that for life????

I am
really frustrated with my body. I dont even lose weight on that, only

maintain.
If I eat ONE thing off the plan I gain up to 5 pounds. In 2 weeks I put on

17
pounds just from eating "normally" and not starving. I hate my body.

Well I am venting. Thanks for being here. Would love to hear any thoughts

from
people out there who did liquid diets, and from other women with bodies

like
mine...are you out there or am I alone?
Thanks
