I don't know what you consider not starving, but 945 calories IS LOW.

Sorry no tea or peppers speed up metabolic rate to any significance (peer reviewed clinical study should be used to support that). Not to mention this would be cancelled out since high calorie deficits reduce metabolic rates pretty significantly.
I'm just going by the math. Not anecdotes.

It's a TV show. They are under medical supervision and yet still do some extremely unhealthy things. Just because it's on TV, doesn't make it safe, healthy or logical to do. Most who try to lose that fast are going to end up resorting to unhealthy measures to achieve this and can end up doing a lot of damage. They also aren't under the best conditions:But they don't show the additional mandatory six hours or so of us furiously flailing the pounds away.showing us all drinking our milk to prove how nutritious it was. But as soon as "cut" was yelled, the trainers made us spit it out.At the end of the series, my immune system shut down due to the effects of losing too much weight too fast. My hair fell out. I can't say I was in better health at 260 pounds than I am now, but doctors told me that everything I did to my body on the show was a physician's nightmare.
^That is not healthy for anyone to try and emulate.0 -
I think the new studies are showing gut bacteria plays a major role in obesity. So eliminating the sugary drinks and drinking fermented tea and eating peppers can most certainly effect gut bacteria and thus metabolism.0

Thank you for your concern. I am going to bed.

I've had friends that were very slim who ate nothing but pizza and M&M's, but they ate like once a day and not in large portions. Hard to get fat on 800 calories a day, but that's also an issue of not getting in the right macros/micro nutrients one needs for essential health.
People with eating disorders will always claim they aren't starving. Should I believe them because they say it?
