hi. if you starve yourself your metabolism isnt good at all and you might even gain weight. your body shuts down and you wont lose anything. just eat light meals everyday.instead of having chocolate cake for dessert, have a bowl of fresh fruit etc... also, my mom is buying this stuff called herbalife. she and i are on the stuff and ive lost 3 pounds, shes lost 26.its diet shakes for replacement of meals and protien bars , drinks, diet pills and supplements, and all that. she buys it on ebay for cheap. you should try it.
