I followed a terrible diet where I consumed less than 700 calories a day, and now I'm worried about gaining the weight back. How can I avoid regaining the weight?

Start with eating a bunch of vegetables and fruits. Don't drink pop, instead have some healthy orange juice or something pertaining to nutrition.and have some sort of meat..and that should just about do it. I wish I could actually GAIN some weight. *tear* its no fair.

OK, go for a heart healthy diet. You need protein because you exercise. You can look into the Mediterranean diet. Emphasis is on vegetables. Meat is only eaten a couple time a week. www.americanheart.org has some info under lifestyle about diet. Another one is www.eatright.org, diets for diabetes and heart patients are beneficial. NEVER do the 700 calorie diet. You can damage your heart and increase your risk of heart attack.

Slowly add calories back. This will slow up the weight loss without gaining weight. if you start gaining then you reduce you calorie intake.

Just eat healthy, and not too much of it. No McD, Burger Rey, Jack en la caja, nothing, nada. Eat chicken, fish, with veggies and fruits, you know, all that good stuff. No candy on the days you work.

Don't focus on "weight" per se, focus on maintaining or building muscle while burning fat. 700 calories is starvation, your body will hold on to every calory it can, ie FAT. You need to read this book about how to burn fat and keep muscle :http://www.coolestebooks.com/products2.html

You need to see a Doc, hun. Sounds to me like Anorexia Athletica- . . Def.. Symptoms of anorexia athletica include:. · Exercising beyond the requirements for good health. · Being fanatical about weight and diet. · Stealing time from work, school, and relationships to exercise. · Focusing on challenge and forgetting that physical activity can be fun. · Defining self-worth in terms of performance. · Rarely or never being satisfied with athletic achievements. · Always pushing on to the next challenge. · Justifying excessive behaviour by defining self as an athlete or insisting that their behaviour is healthy. . This disorder is most often recognized in competitive athletes, but it can affect anyone with a preoccupation with weight and/or diet.

Watch what you eat like reading what is in the food you are about to eat! You can also exercise every day! GOOD LUCK!
