I'm sorry, but WikiAnswers is meant to be a place where questions are answered that are there to help or educate or assist a person. Suggesting a method of weight lossthrough encouraging anorexia (a potentially fatal and life-endangering disease) would not be helping, but would be promoting this dangerous life style.
