Get this straight. Dieting does not mean starving yourself! If you do not eat enough calories your metabolism will slow. Fat deposits will be stored and not burned for energy. Muscle mass will be lost. You will feel low and lacking in energy. You will be unable to exercise and soon you will be off dieting for good!
You need food. You need calories to function, eat the right amount and your metabolic rate will rise again. It is the type of calories you intake that matter. Eating ten apples a day wont make you fat, although they would amount to about 700 calories, but eating ten packets of crisps a day would certainl pile on a few pounds. What you do not need are not the empty calories obtained from junk food. The negative calories obtained from some fruits and vegetables for example, will be a great help to weight loss. Negative calories means that for your body to digest these foods it will burn more calories than the food provides. This calorie deficit will result in weight loss.
Throw some regular exercise into the mix and you are well on your way.
