dumb ways to die(t) #6

#6 Gorge on 600 calories of fish for dinner. Or, better yet, 1200 calories of fish for dinner!

Throwing all/most your calories into one meal? What a dumb way to diet. Maybe you read dumb ways to die(t) #5, that highly recommends you eat at least 1200 calories a day (thanks, Nikki, for that helpful post!). Yes, 1200 calories a day is good. But cramming it (or most of it) into one meal, or even into a small part of the day is not the most effective way to lose weight. Try rationing your calories throughout the day, instead! That way, your metabolism is given a boost every couple of hours, your body doesn't feel like it's being forgotten or neglected, and your stomach doesn't feel like it's starving to death (causing you to binge later in the day).
