Cramps, yeah, not good.

Loose skin is a fact of life for people who lose a lot of weight.  It doesn't just shrink on its own.

Loosing weight at a slower, healthy rate (1-2 lbs a week) and muscle-building exercises does help curb excess loose skin.  Excess skin is a result of losing muscle in addition to fat as a result of "crash diets".    Again... doctor.. see one.

You got to look at the reality of it though. Someone who has 150 pounds or more to lose, at a rate of 1-2 pounds lost a week would require a diet that takes years. You are not going to find anyone with the will go on a diet for that long. It the person is going to lose the weight and will work to then keep it off, I say the crash diet is well worth it. Better than weaving in and out of diets and various weight changes for a course of many years simply trying to lose that initial body weight to begin with, without even getting to the maintaining a healthy body weight stage.

As a person that lost a substantial amount of weight himself, Im with Vigo on this (as usual). Nobody wants to take that long to lose that much weight, but the diet he seems to be on is destroying his body. Thats TOO harsh. Your body is going to hang onto the weight too, because its going to think its starving, and when you actually do shock it into using the last bit of fat, when you eat normal again, your body is going to put the pounds back on because it feels the need to. Look at the guy that won the biggest loser a few years ago, he gained all his weight back in a year, and then some. Maintaining a healthy weight is a gradual thing, you cant just lose 100 lbs in 3 months. Thats crazy.
