Oh yes - and don't forget the brittle nails, insomnia, and eventual organ failure.
goody goody! can i join?
oh wait. i like my brain to function. I mean, I paid good money for a college education, it's nice to retain all that useless overpriced crap.....
nevermind!
lololol
How exactly is listing the very real consequences of eating a starvation diet "smartass"? People who are desperate enough to do a 900/day diet already aren't thinking of "health," so really, listing "brittle nails" and "thinning hair" (which are vanity issues) may be the only way to get through to some people.

Calling people childish seems unnecessary. People respond to different kinds of criticism and when an OP is doing something extremely harmful all kinds of responses are going to come out to discourage it with the hope that at least one of the responses will get through.
I follow directions better when they're given to me like an adult. I got rid of facebook for that reason. Trying to get help with this app is turning into the same thing. Smh1 -

It's probably because we assume most 'adults' can figure out netting 100 calories of energy per day isn't a particularly good idea on their own.0 -
According to your OP, you're trying to live on 100 calories a day. If your numbers are accurate, that's simply not doable. You want your net calories to be at least1200, so that's 1200 after exercise.0

Didn't think it was that big of a deal.0

Between your first post in this thread and your first response, posters here don't know if you're a seriously misguided poster, under a doctor's supervision, trolling us (more common that you'd think), or what. You got a variety of responses based on the variety of ways that people interpreted your first post. I hate to use the phrase, but this really is the way that the internet tends to work. No one knows you, no one knows what kind of responses are going to resonate with you. Coming back to call people names because they tried a path that didn't work with you is going to frustrate you to no end on this particular site.

Eat that
When you exercise, log 50% of the calories and eat them
Weigh your food, all of it ..log it accurately: select verified / usda database entries
Do not net below 1200 calories on average per day across the week
Need more into?

If you were truly netting 100 calories per day, you'd be dropping weight rapidly. How many lbs are you losing per week? Don't make 900 calories your goal. Pick a goal of at least 1200 calories and learn to log accurately.0

If you've been low calorie like you say for a bit you are going to get a water weight scale adjustment upwards ...be brave
Ride it out for a few weeks
It WILL settle and drop again
Healthily
But your skin, hair, nails will thank you
(Also lift heavy ..progressive ...muscles rock in giving you a tight body)
