Answer: It is rather strange that many people want to achieve weight weight losses at rates that can only be realized by having a Bengal tiger eat your legs for supper! Most medically based sources (not diet companies) indicate an acceptable rate of below a kg/wk. The highest rate found was 1% of initial body weight/week.

The big secret is to not kill yourself on the route to health - your body is set up to handle the you that you are now - a lighter you will have less needs and demands and will have to shed a lot of nasties presently contained in your body fat on route to a lower weight.

A lesser secret is to make changes that you can live with over time, learning the correct way of eating comes with time until you do it as a natural thing. Most sources indicate that the "throw yourself over a cliff" type of dieting gets your weight down quick, but you bounce back up just as quick - sometimes with the collateral damage of gall stones etc.

Can anorexics eat small amounts of ice cream?

What a scary question. You didn't ask "do they" - which is just as scary as your misunderstanding of anorexia. Anorexics are merely people who starve themselves because they constantly believe they are imperfect or fat - normally due to low self esteem. Anorexics can eat ice cream. They can eat steak. Anorexics can eat whatever they want, the problem is the fact that they don't. Do not emulate an anorexic. Do not starve yourself to become skinnier - it will kill you.
