The reason may be that you aren't eating enough!
The fact is: Starvation Diets Can Make You Gain Weight
You may have bemoaned the fact that you’ve been on a near-starvation diet for weeks and haven’t lost a pound since the first week.
You feel miserable because you’re hungry, and you’re getting nowhere with their hopes for a slimmer figure.

Deadly Weight Loss Drugs: Don't take these!
The FDA has now issued a warning and a list: 72 over the counter weight loss drugs have now been identified as containing undeclared pharmaceutical ingredients - often in dosages that are considered unsafe.
Four of these drugs have not been approved for sale in the U.S. - one because it is suspected of causing cancer. One is a potent diuretic, while one is an anti-seizure medication.
All of these products pose a serious health risk because the pharmaceutical ingredients can cause problems such as high blood pressure, seizures, tachycardia (rapid heartbeat), palpitations, heart attack, and stroke. The higher the dosage, the bigger the risk.
This is not a trivial warning: taking too much of any of these products could result in death or permanent disability.
Because these weight loss products have been marketed as dietary supplements, they did not come under the scrutiny of the FDA. Had the manufacturers declared the pharmaceutical drugs contained in them, they would have been regulated and at least 4 would have been prohibited from sale in the U.S.
The FDA is now asking for a recall of these products. If it is not forthcoming, they have the authority to seize goods and initiate criminal charges.

These products have been sold over the internet, in hair salons, and at other retail establishments. The FDA warns that more and more products tainted with prescription drugs, including drugs for erectile dysfunction, diabetes, and obesity, are finding their way into the U.S. marketplace.
Most of these products are being imported from other countries such as China, Brazil, Malaysia, and Peru.
If you wish to take weight loss products, be very careful to buy from a trusted source and do a search on the product name before you buy.
Meanwhile, if you are taking any weight loss products, go to the FDA website and check to see if its name is on the list of 72 deadly weight loss drugs.
