Many fad diets (diets that promise weight loss results in an unreasonably quick amount of time) are starvation diets. They do not include much real food, but consist of meal replacements, appetite-suppressant pills, energy pills, and vitamins. One ’s diet had no white flour. No sugars. No alcohol. No coffee. She was required to do step-ups and push-ups even in her hotel room.
It’s sad that so many people starve themselves in order to be thin. They become borderline anorexic. In many cases, their hair begins to fall out. Their nails are weak and brittle, their skin becomes discolored, and sometimes they even lose their period. Sometimes they even faint from undernourishment.
You can see the pain of starvation in their face. Every bone in their body cries out for food.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy
***DISCLAIMER***
I am not trying to say that all people who are skinny are starving themselves. Sometimes a person can eat a lot, but their genetic makeup just keeps them skinny. I am not against skinny people, but am against fad/starvation diets.
