The good thing about LCing is that you gain mainly muscle and ONLY if your body needs it. You don't gain fat, despite eating lots of fat.

So your BF% goes in a good direction even if the scales don't say what you believe you want. That only happens if you STICK with LCing and don't do it for 1 or 2 weeks and then decide it doesn't work and go off in another direction.

There are people like Luvley who have heard from many members that they consider her hope of losing weight by LCing to be a very bad idea. So I think she is hoping to hear exactly what starvation would be.

JessaLynn: it may be necessary to change your life goals as Tasche's advice indicates that you aren't the height that is demanded by the industry. Hopeful ballerinas have to face it when they get too tall, gymnasts when their bones develop.

NO DREAM is worth an eating disorder with the medical problems that come along with it. Young people believe that it's worth ANYTHING to achieve a dream UNTIL they come smack up against the wall of ruined health. Then they realize, often too late, that they threw away their whole life - mate, family, children, and success - for the vain hope of achieving an unnatural and dangerous number on the scale.

I hope you turn aside from that path and come back to a healthier way of eating. There ARE other ways to succeed and other career paths to follow. All the best. This is the first day of the rest of your life.
