I'm doing this diet (well, I call it a diet) and basically it's a water diet. Everyday I drink 10 bottles of water (16- 20 FL. OZ bottles) or more everyday; eat very little (try to eat about 1200 calories, maybe not very little); but I do very little exercise (VERY little, just alittle dancing around the house and running up and down the stairs several times). With this diet, I'm having to go to the bathroom a lot (like every 10 minutes, literally! And it's clear now) and doing mainly number 1 than number 2 (if you know what I mean...). One of my friends, thinks its really unhealthy how many times I'm running back and forth to the restroom but I'm desperate to lose weight (I'm 30 lbs over weight, I'm alittle concerned). Do you think my dieting is healthy or unhealthy? Should I stop?

You should definitely stop. You are currently drinking a huge amount of water daily relative to the small amount of food you are eating. If you want to continue eating 1,200 calories a day. I suggest you cut your water intake by half. Too much water can be very bad for you (google "hyper hydration ").

As long as you are eating 1200 calories or more, then you're doing fine. Water is the best appetite suppressant there is. If you do not eat at least 1200 calories a day your body goes into 'starvation mode' and WILL NOT burn off any calories. It hoards them instead, causing you to lose no weight. Good luck.

Yep, good job. Keep it up.
