    I know most people wont agree with this post but I will ask the question anyway. I have always ate around 1000 cals or so and the scales havent moved. The advice I got on here was to eat more. Due to personal circumstance this week has been extremley busy and I have had very little time to eat. I am lucky if I have ate 400 cals per day this week. Anyway I weighed myself and have lost 6 pound from Monday. I am now nervous about eating normal again incase I gain it back.

    Also, how could this have happened if I before everyone was saying I was not eating enough but yet I was eating much more than I was this week.

    Do you really want to live the rest of your life eating 400 calories a day? That's why.

    I find the excuse of not having time to eat pretty lame. Even if it's just an apple, banana, granola bar, fruit salad, whatever, there's lots of food options out there that you can eat on the go. Also, when you do start eating normally, you will gain it back, and I can speak from personal experience. You lost so much in a short period of time becuase you ate dramatically less and shocked your body. Simple.

    As for limiting damage, what I did was gradually increased my calories, i.e. 200 calories for 2 weeks, then another 200 for the next 2 weeks, etc.

    Because discussing 400 cals diets and "limiting the damage" equals discussing taking drugs and "limiting the damage". Believe me, the people on this site who have eating disorders (and there are a few) don't need triggering posts like this one. Sometimes harsh is needed.

    Well said.
