Not eating actually slows down your metabolism, so if you starve your body of food, as soon as you begin to eat normally again, your body will latch on to the calories and you will gain weight faster, more than if you had followed a balanced diet the whole time.

AnswerNot a good idea. You need some nutrition to keep from having electrolyte imbalance issues. A low calorie diet and exercise works far better. If you're doing a starvation diet you need to be under the supervision of a physician. AnswerActually you need to maintain a balanced diet to properly lose weight. Combine a good diet with anaerobic exercises (walking, bicyling and swimming are good) and the weight will come off. Be careful not to drop excessive weight monthly. Gradual weight loss usually stays off. I set my goal to 8 lbs. per month. I have lost 180 lbs. within the last 2 1/2 years.

You should eat. Just eat a smaller portion of what you would regularly have. Not so much.. GOod luck.

It might take the body up to a week to show signs of losing weight by not eating. Not eating, however is very bad for the human body. It would be better to eat a balanced diet in smaller portions over time. Starving the cells of nutrients can be fatal.
