Does Snapple's Diet Green Tea "Metabolism" actually fuel your metabolism like it says it should?

ABC diet, help? someone who has done this diet before i need to know if it works as my metabolism is messed up?

• first of all i'd like to state i dont want any lectures as i'm fully educated on ED's already, and i know the harm as i've experienced symptoms of one myself. i've been struggling with my weight since 2009 and have formed many worrying thoughts and fears about food. recently, in the past month or so, i have been dieting on and off, but the the extent of eating 200 calories to no more than 800 for 2 weeks, based on the calorie shifting diet. then i would binge everyday for another week and then begin drastically dieting again. so i'm not quite sure where my metabolism is at right now. i used to have a diet that was alot worse than the ABC back in 2009, so i know this wont kill me. however my real question is, will this diet work even if my metabolism IS slow/slower than usual at the moment? i don't want to be going through all the restricting etc if it isn't going to work. if someone has done this before, please help me!! i am currently 3 stone overweight and confused :( i need help urgently!!!

• Answer:

  I haven't tried this particular diet but i've calorie restricted and starved myself basically yo-yo dieting for just over 1 year it's gotten pretty bad that i'm now at 110lb and standing at 5'9 .Which is like 20lbs underweight.But to me I feel great "in my head" but i'm psychically & mentally effed up! You have no idea.I don't recommend these diets because you're only digging yourself a bigger hole.What I do recommend is to eat a balanced diet 1,200-1,500 calories and if thats pushing it then 1,000 calories but no less than that!! Also try exercising 30 minutes a day and then be patient for the first few weeks and see how much you'll lose and kept it off.Good luck my dear x
