Nicole Richie

So then how do people like Nicole Richie lose so much weight so quickly by starving themselves? It seems contradicting to me. I have battled bouts of starving myself in the past, but not losing any weight, and I have recently been eating much healthier and exercising often, and still not achieving weight loss! I dont have an eating disorder, I just dont understand how someone is meant to lose weight by eating more, opposed to someone who is eating very little?

There is NO advantage to starving yourself. Change your eating habits for good and set yourself up for a long and healthy life!!! If you are near your goal wt (less than 10lbs) stop focusing onwhat the scale says and focus on getting fitter!

The girl literally has no muscle tone because she has lost so much lean tissue due to under nourishment. As far as the rest of your post goes, losing weight is the result of having a calorie deficit. You need to learn good eating habits and how to diet properly. Browse the specific diet and nutrition forum and check out "diet thread", "max dietary deficit for fat loss" and the "grocery list for healthy eating". Those three threads will get you moving in the right direcion. Try and learn all you can about maintenance calories, how to determine them, and there importance. If you like, I can send you a little something on them, just let me know. It might take a day or two, as lately I'm finding less time to check the boards as before. Good luck and welcome to FT! -------------- Days go by and life drags on.....

Take some accountability, and stop yourself, its called will power! Get informed and form yourself a diet plan, that you are eating enough Calories, and often enough, and stick to it to achieve your goals...... ============ Quoting from angelmamma24: COuld someone please help me?
