Ah ok, 100 pounds would be quite a challenging target. As I understand it though starvation diets don't work long term as they train your body to deal with food shortages by storing energy as fat.

Losing in bursts doesn't sound like it would be a healthy option for the rest of your body as well.

Do you include exercise at all? From what I've researched, and what trainers have told me, weight training is the most effective way to lose weight - when combined with calorie monitoring and some cardio.



I have included exercise at times. While I agree that weight training is very effective at burning more fat, it also makes me ravenous.

Losing in bursts is probably less healthy than losing steadily, but more healthy than not losing at all. :)
