[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lost a lot of weight and when I saw my doctor, he was blown away, kept raving about how good I looked and asked what I did. I told him that I basically stopped eating except for very small amounts and was hungry all the time, expecting he might lecture me on that. And he said, "Yes, I think that's what people have to do to be thin." And again he complimented me on it. [/quote]

This is me too - and many of my friends. I eat one small meal a day, no snacking, and the rest of the day coffee, water, green tea, sparking water with lemon. I exercise five days a week. Rarely have sweets or drink alcohol- though certainly an occasional glass of wine for a special event. My splurge is an occasional square of dark chocolate.

It’s a diet I’ve maintained for the last 15 years, though I ate a little more during pregnancy adding more protein and dairy (kids all born in the 8 lbs range, no issues).  It’s tough, especially because I have kids and they eat regularly as does my husband, though my husband is a healthy eater by and large. But they eat more frequently and it’s tempting.  As I get older I find I’ve had to be even more restrictive with the quantity in my one small meal.

[b]Bottom line, I’m skinny (5’ 4” and hover around 105 lbs) and my doctor has repeatedly said I’m at the perfect weight. Would say that my doctor is also very slim. [/quote][/b]

You could gain 15 pounds and still be considered the perfect weight for your height. I think both you and your doctor have disordered eating habits.[/quote]

PP here and I won’t dispute that my diet is really extreme but will say it’s very common among women in my social circle and beyond. Some may fast, others cleanse, several friends eat 1000 calories a day.

Also, I was about 12 pounds heavier for most of my 20s and on more than one occasion was referred to as “big” or “chubby” even though I was a true size 4 at the time. When I lost weight by restricting to one meal a day it was remarkable how many compliments I received.

All of which is to say, the OP wanted to know how to achieve “skinnyness” and the truth is for many of us it means very restricted eating.  [/quote]
