I didn't know it was time limited - and people don't always do it for the time it's recommended. I'm just extra sensitive to this kind of thing, because people start out like this and end up with eating disorders. Starvation (and yes, that's what you're doing) affects your brain and makes you more susceptible to an eating disordered mindset. It's a cycle - starve, binge because your body makes you since we weren't meant to starve ourselves, feel guilty, repeat until you're so stuck in an eating disorder you can't get out. I can't imagine why anyone would want to put themselves through that hell. If I could have avoided it, I would have done anything.
