    That is a typical "ana" diet encouraged by those with eating disorders. Yes, it may be shocking to those who have never suffered and eating disorder... unfortunately, it doesn't shock me at all. It just makes me sad that people would follow it because they feel so insecure, lost, ugly and "not good enough".:cry:


    My biggest thing is that a weight loss webpage was support it was all.

    Thats not any worse than people who eat at McDonalds three times a day.

    I'm sorry but PERSPECTIVE, people.

    you are right but i would be just as shocked to see a weight loss page supporting that

    Kristen, it is sad that a "weight loss" support website would encourage it. It sounds like it isn't really a weight loss support website as much as a pro-ana website. They are everywhere. Breaks my heart because I've been there...

    wow! Its actually sad how far ppl will go to loose weight. I myself struggle with my weight, but I would never go as fast as too doing this "rainbow diet" now I will agree that the "eating the colors of the rainbow"us a cute idea, but that few calories is so unhealthy.

    There are a lot of diets that have been around for ages that are really dangerous. They may get you fast weight loss but you'll eventually end up sick. Nutrition is important and after some of the weird diets the weight loss turns into weight gain. I tried one in my teens that was called the mayo clinic diet....horrible!

    Here's what I got from that. Yellow makes you fat.

    Joking of course. That should really be called the death diet.

    THAT seems like a crazy diet. Today, during lunch time, one of my coworkers was telling me about this "21 day diet" she is on. It seems she consulted a nutritionist who told her to only eat 800 calories a day for 21 days. My coworker is probably 5'4"-5'4" and not more than 10-15 lbs overweight. She wants to drop 10 lbs. In addition, she exercises 5 times a week. She is buying food from some company that makes breakfast/lunch/dinner. Each meal costs around $8-$9...:frown: When I told her that I'm concerned that she's eating too less, she said "Oh I'm doing fine. Look at the quality of my food." Oh well.
