Couldn't have said it any better than Lara or Chocolate did and they are entirely right. The caloric intake you're talking about is a definate no-no. It won't do you any good in the long run and you really do need to think about long term effects. Forget about being thin now or tomorrow...no one's going to care how about your weight when they're visiting you in your coffin at the funeral home. It's a harsh reality, I know but we've all been down that road and realize how we SHOULD be doing it and just don't want to see you go there, too.
