What happened was that I tried to lose weight by consuming proteins and reducing carbohydrates in my diet. Those proteins happened to be primarily chicken meat. What I didnt know was that protein makes the stomach acidic and to counter that acidity, the body takes out calcium from the bones. Fast foods also burn through the body's phosphorous reserves (which also happens to be concentrated in the bones). So being the ignoramus that I was, I almost ended up destroying my bones. Thank God, I found out the reason in time otherwise I could actually feel my spine would snap any second!
Anyhow, now I am stuck in a vicious loop. Though I have improved a lot in terms of my eating habits, it still wasnt enough to prevent bone loss again (yes, chicken again! ARRGGHH!!!). So this time, I am seriously considering a diet plan that strikes a balance between bone loss and bone growth. But first, I have to spend at least two months trying to undo the damage I have already done

It will work for a short while but you end up with a lot more issues and you gain back the weight you lost when you go back to normal eating. Just eat a healthy well rounded diet and don't sit on your butt all day, and be sure to avoid fast food as a lifestyle.
