Cucu, remember that your body is repairing itself with this new way of eating. Your bones and muscles certainly are adding bulk. Therefore, don't judge yourself by the scale. Do you feel better, happier, less tired? Those are better signs to go by than the fact that you have not lost any weight. Remember, too, that the pills your doctor puts you on artificially stimulate your body to do certain things. I don't know what your situation is, as I have not read many of your posts, but you won't have a *real* period while on birth control pills. It won't help you to repair your systems.

As for your fat consumption, calories in do not necessarily equal calories out. Think of natural fats as being full of nutrients that your body needs. Your skin and organs need fat. Do not fall into the mindset that because fat is high in calories, it is bad. Your body needs fat for repair and rebuilding.

Considering your calories, do not eat too little. This will cause your metabolism to slow way down. Your body probably needs 1200-1600 calories per day just to survive. This is the minimum you should eat. If you consume less, your body holds on to every ounce it can.
