Sad Story About 500 Cal Diet

in TTC After a Loss

Someone posted this article on another board and since we were talking about a (different) 500 cal diet yesterday I wanted to share:

https://www.thatsfit.com/2009/09/09/bride-to-be-dies-after-extreme-crash-diet/?icid=main|main|dl4|link4|http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thatsfit.com%2F2009%2F09%2F09%2Fbride-to-be-dies-after-extreme-crash-diet%2F

I don't mean to pick on anyone, I just care about you all and want you to be healthy and safe.

    I can't even restrict my diet to 1800 calories a day much less 500. 

    I know there are people who restrict their diets to like 1000, but they eat really healthfully. Like fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, etc.

    I'm a personal trainer and have a client who did a restricted calorie diet prior to seeing me.  She ended up in the hospital because her kidneys were failing.  It's not a healthy way to lose the weight but if you're under a doctor's care while doing it I would think they would monitor you.  PLUS, if you aren't strict and fall off the wagon you will gain all the weight back very quickly and then some!

    how sad. I can't see why any diet that says to only eat 500 calories a day can be remotely healthy. Not to mention, you can't sustain that forever - I'm sure most people gain it all right back.
