If you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

If all the above fails, Try not eating full stop. Oh but watch out for drinking as water may be contaminated!

Sipping ginger ale and nibbling on crackers always worked for me.  I've known people who also say sucking on a lemon wedge works.  If you can get it, Phenagren (sp?) is wonderful but it's a presription.

1.Yes, it doesn't seem possible when you are not hungry, but when you are starving, the survival instinct always rules..\n\n2.Well, as a microbiologist, I never heard about such thing as cuting the finger... i mean if you are in a Level 5 security, and you cut out a finger... you practically expose your "inside" to the pathogen element.. I don't think that it would work.  So the answer is no...\n\n3. Here again, if i knew that I would be the only way for me to survive... I'dd do it right away\n\nAnd by the way... we never know how are we goin to react in such situation... and what I'm telling today might be really far away of the real actions I would take in such circomstances... \n\nThat was an interresting question anyway :P

This happens to me too if I eat a lot of (fresh) pineapple and particularly chew on the core.\n\nI did some research at the time that it happened to me first and discovered that it was the acid in the pineapple that was doing it.\n\nNot too harmful I don't think (though I wouldn't do it daily).\nEverything in moderation.  Numb tongue is probably a sign of overdoing it a bit.\n:)

There is a mental disorder that causes this but the name is escaping me at the moment. If you are asking because you know someone who does this get help! This can be treated but swallowing non edible objects can kill kids. Get help fast ok!

Unfortunately, I am in the same boat. Except with me, it's EVERY time I eat that I feel this way. I've been to the doctor, and they've told me that there's nothing wrong with me, but I know better. It's not right for a person to have to sit still and not talk because they feel they'll get sick after they've just ate. It sucks, I know. If you find something that works for you, please, please email me. Thanks.

I do...its just 'mindless eating.'  I can control it most of the time but sometimes I do it even though I know I shouldn't.

i was on topamax and it sucked. i'm not sure if i lost weight because i didn't have a scale, but if i smelled food i would just want to vomit. i had not appetite because the smell and the idea of food just made me sick, but i still SO hungry. it was really sad and my stomach was just constantly upset. so... i mean if you don't eat... yeah, i'm sure you could lose 20 lbs in a month, but it would be the same as starving yourself.

If you mean not to eat food or skip meals. Try wrapping your tummy tightly with a tummy strap or a clothing. Don't ever think about the food but don't forget to drink a glass of water before planning to skip a meal.

Just a medical warning, loosing too much wait in a short time can cause serious problems.\n\nThat said, I did it, did not try to but this is how.\n\nWorking during a very busy time at work 13 hour days, 7 days a week(so excersize) I had plain bagels (or like foods) for brunch. Dinners a quick salad. About every 3rd day or so (I had a few less hours) I would eat a normal, whatever I wanted meal.(I think thats what kept my metabalism up) Before I knew it my pants were getting baggy. All in all, 3 weeks, 27 lbs.\n\nBut again, Its dangerous.

I haven't but my best friend has. We used to work together at Planet Hollywood in Orlando and one day we were working side by side and she started to have a seizure. this was the first time it ever happened to her. Our boss called 911 and an ambulance showed up. They tested her blood sugar and found that it was down to 31. The doctor at the hospital said it happened because she hadn't eaten in a while. A few years later we were at college together and in the middle of our graphic design class she had a seizure again, I fed her a candy bar because it was all I had and she started to come around. Now we all just make sure she eats normally so that her blood sugar doesn't drop.
