Hello,
I need some advice, I have a good grasp of how to lose weight safely, I have adjusted my food intake and my exercise levels and have lost 25 pounds safely and slowly over the past 10 months.

Now I am in a bit of a pickle:
I have moved to Africa and, as many do, managed to get an intestinal parasite. It is nothing major, I am taking some medicines to get rid of it but it may take a while for my body to go back to its normal hunger and satiety feeling, at the moment I feel no hunger whatsoever, and when I eat I feel full after just a couple of bites. Otherwise I feel fine, I feel strong and happy and have no other symptoms (the diarrhoea, nausea, bloating etc.. have gone, I feel perfectly fine).
Do you think I should refrain from exercising hard, because I am eating very little (I guess anything between 500 and 800 cals a day, way too low!), or should I exercise because I feel fine and feel like exercising?
I am not talking day long hikes, but elliptical machine and swimming for a total of about an hour and a half a day.
Will this hurt my body, lose muscle mass, etc...??

I feel torn because I really want to "use" this state, I mean how many of us have wished not to feel hungry, not having to eat, to lose more quickly? But then I think, what if I hurt myself and cause a massive step back? I have been losing very well in the past few weeks and would love for it to continue this way (although a little more loss in the weeks before christmas and seeing the family and all would certainly not hurt!).

So opinions? thoughts?
Thank you, Camy

I would not exercise hard. It requires fuel. You are not providing your body that fuel. So why do it?
