[quote=Anonymous]At 5'6" and 120, you are at an ideal weight. It might not be what you were before, but losing any more gets you into unhealthy territory. And at that height and weight, you need about 1,600 calories to maintain your weight. To lose weight, and be healthy, you need 1,200-1,400 calories per day. If you go below that, you will make your body think you are starving and it will hold on to every calorie. My Registered Dietian said the worst thing you can do is "go on a diet", make major changes to what you eat (don't eat X or only eat Y), lose the weight and go back to your regular eating habits once you've lost the weight. Find an eating habit that you can sustain for the rest of your life. But, for you, more importantly, i think you need to see a therapist for body issues...[/quote]
