    Good Advice Abaddon,

    Last year I lost about 25lbs. I went really skinny. Then this year I gained the weight back and Im tempted to lose it again.

    I think the best thing to do is eat regularly and healthily. Make yourself have at least one good meal a day.

    I am one of those weird ones that forgets to eat too. I just don't have cravings for food. I have been that way for years. I suffer from hypoglycemia which is low blood sugar, so most of the time I usually am reminded to eat, when my body starts shaking I have always cooked regular meals for my family though, like clockwork. Other than nibble as I cook, I don't always eat it though.

    This past summer I went a week without eating more than an apple, and I had to force myself to do that, and it got stuck in my throat. At the time I was going through a huge emotional ordeal, so I can understand why my mind was least focused on food. As far as the mental aspect of not eating, like I said I was going through a tough time, and my mind was a mess anyway

    I say just listen to your mind, as long as you eat something everyday, or every other day, your body will still respond to cravings. I mean, it will tell you when to eat. If it isn't telling you then it doesn't need it. I think the craving mechanism is cut off though after a long time without food, so be careful. Also it is important to at least drink some juice, as it contains alot of vitamins that your body needs.

    BTW I am going through a feeding frenzy now I can't remember the last time I was so hungry, all the time! So if nothing else works, get preggers

    Fasting helps to lower libido, as the body can't focus on two appetites at the same time. Or, at least, the appetite for nourishment has priority, seeing as this a matter of survival.

    alienone,

    If only it were so. I've just lost over 50 pounds and feel hornier than ever. The one good effect of diabetes tablets is seeing the weight go ... After 15 years at weighing around 15 stone i'm 12 and dropping... whooo hoo. I checked the scales in kmart last night for the first time in years.

    PS: You may well be right about fasting causing a loss of libido, i just wanted to bragg. (I've been experimenting lately with the theory about you not being able to feel pain in two places at the same time .. bite you finger and stomp on a toe at the same time and see if they both hurt.. ouch ooo .. mmm)

    I like my food to much to go fasting and stuff. I also play squash 3 times a week or so. You need a decent diet. Not sure I would like to do without! Haha!
