If you starve yourself you will lose weight, but you will also be harming your body. When depriving your body of the proper nutrients it affects your muscles which includes your heart. Also starving yourself affects your ability to fight off infection. Most importantly when you starve yourself, you are choosing to become anorexic. I know from experience that it screws up your entire body. Protect your body from harm, if you want to lose weight eat healthy and work out (go on walks, find an activity that gets you moving and you enjoy, etc). Starving yourself and becoming anorexic is not the answer, and starving yourself never looks good, you will look sickly if you choose to lose weight that way.
