Who cares... I don't eat anyways!

No matter what I eat, I am unable to loose weight. So, for me, not eating is the only solution for loosing weight! Its fast and easy too!

The best thing about low cal diet is that you dont feel guilty after eating lotz of it. If you have ever eaten at Just Around the Corner in Bandra, you will get what I mean! :)

Eating nothing might lead to a lot of side-effects... like dizziness, loss of hair, glow-less skin etc. So, while you become slim, you might loose the charm on your face/hair. Also, this might lead to deficiencies in the long run.

It is really important that you take a low fat balanced diet and consume fruits, juices, sprouts, skimmed milk etc.
