  • Put it this way, folks. People eat NOTHING, and drink only (several gallons, obviously) of water for WEEKS doing extreme cleanse diets. I dont want to be too mean, but I have noticed (and been kind of stunned by) people's ignorance about nutrition and the way the body works.

  • You are not going to enter starvation mode. Starvation mode is when the body has exhausted ALL POSSIBLE METHODS of creating energy (sugars, fat stores) and resorts to burning muscle tissue in order to keep running. Essentially, you will have had to deplete ALL of your body's fat stores before going into starvation mode.

  • Seems to me like you saw a few extra pounds on the scale, panicked, and started working out. It's great that you're working out now! But that's why you're gaining weight. I also gained weight when I started running and exercising. You're building muscle. Can I suggest taking your measurements instead of weighing yourself?…

  • Sorry to burst your bubbles ladies, but you are not accounting for dress size inflation. A 12 then was more like a 2 now. Marilyn Monroe's measurements: Bust: 35-37 inches Waist: 22-23 inches Hips: 35-36 inches http://jezebel.com/5299793/for-the-last-time-what-size-was-marilyn-monroe
