They go back to eating more normal calorific intakes. No-one surves indefinately on <800kcals a day. The diets are only meant to produce rapid weight loss, you can't stay on them forever. I know people with stomach bypasses who eat far more than 800kcals.If you eat 800kcal a day for the rest of your life, you will die of starvation. A 4ft6 woman who weighs 70lb would still have a BMR of over 1000kcal...Yes, I've heard that too. The current thinking is that living in a continual state of semi-starvation is the best way of preventing aging.I agree Sid, all successful diets ultimately have to be about calorie restriction, and it is never easy.</blockquote>
