Starving oneself is not the best way to lose weight. Take it from someone who lost 40 lbs in six weeks...me! If you starve yourself, your brain will shut down your metabolism in an effort to save energy, and your weight loss actually becomes slower.
First of all, avoid sugar and caffeine. Consuming sugar or caffeine will simply make your body burn that for energy first, and not burn fat. Also avoid high fat foods.
Eat small meals, several times a day. Mostly eat vegetables, with very little meat. When you do eat meat, stick with fish and poultry, which are low in fat. Eat breakfast! That jump starts your metabolism in the morning. What you are trying to do is teach your brain that you are going to give it some fuel several times a day, so it won't be as likely to store fat, because it will learn the pattern that there is another small meal coming shortly.
When I say small meals, I mean very small, snack size meals. The ideal is to actually decrease the overall amount of intake, AND spread it out across the day evenly. Also, don't eat after dark. You need not give your body anything to store over night while you are sleeping.

Does anorexic diets mixed with yoga help with weight loss?
Absolutely not. Your body gains weight when it thinks that you need it. In other words, you gain weight when your body thinks you are starving. If you are starving yourself, you will gain weight. The best thing to do is take a hour long walk everyday and eat a handful of food every hour; so your body feels that it has no need to have a surplus.
I want to be 7.5 stones from 9.5 how many days do i have to starve do me a favor give me a trick to pretend to be ill for fri-mon thnx it will help so much?
Starving yourself is never the answer to lose weight. Starving yourself could lead to serious consequences like becoming anorexic or bulimic, which cause a lot of harm to your internal organs and eventually, without getting help, even death. Just do the usual diet and exercise thing, eating the right food and the right portions helps a lot better than no food at all. Please re-consider the whole starving yourself thing, its not a good idea at all. You could seriously hurt your body. If you want faster results, talk to a doctor about losing weight. I don't know how much 9.5 stones is in pounds but if its a healthy weight, I say keep it. =]

I think my friend is anorexic how much weight will you lose within a week of starving yourself?
Roughly 2-3 kilograms. You should tell your friend that she or he should stop this harmful practice immediately, and/or get professional help.
If you are too skinny and eating a lot of food does not seem to help can starving yourself instead actually make you gain weight?
no starving yourself won't help it will make you lose more weight what you need to do is find out what foods make you gain weight like bread and meats with fat on them high protein foods but don't starve yourself that won't help but that's what you really need to do eat high protein fat foods and see if that doesn't work don't just eat because if your tall you have alot of metabolism and your body is just working the fats from the food around your body that's going to eventually giving you shape and definition don't worry about it. Don't starve yourself! eat small meals throughout the day.
How much weight can you lose by starving yourself for two weeks?
Every person is different, but I can tell you that starving yourself will not help you lose weight. Your body will actually start to hold onto weight after about 3 days of starving yourself and anything with fat that you put into your body will go straight for the fat reserves. Your body will think it is headed for hard times and that it will need all the fat it can take. So you would hurting your body more than anything, probably even gaining weight once you do decide to eat. Also, you could cause yourself a heart or brain problems from starving yourself. That is what happened to Terri Schiavo, her extreme dieting methods caused her brain damage. Be smart about weight loss, the simple method that works is to cut your calorie intake and start exercising. There is no easy way around it and especially if you want to lose weight and keep it off.
If you are on your first day of starving yourself how do you keep yourself from eating food?
drink lots and lots of water and you can eat celary it makes you lose caloriesBetter AnswerStarving yourself is actually counterproductive for losing weight. It is not a lifestyle that you can maintain. If you manage to starve yourself for a few days you will end up regaining all of the weight you lost and more. A healthy rate for weight loss is one to two pounds per week. I you would like to lose weight, work out 4-5 days per week. Combine light weights with a minimum of 30 minutes of cardio at your target heart rate. (they have little charts on the machines).Eat some lean protein (chicken, cottage cheese, egg whites etc.) with every meal. Also eat small 200-300 CALORIE meals 4 to 5 times per day. A good diet combined with lots of exercise, and drinking 8 glasses of water per day will help you lose weight and feel great too. I know when I'm starving I get really bad headaches and get really grumpy. You won't look good starving yourself either. I am assuming that is the goal. If you are completely obsessed with food and are really stressed about your weight please seek professional help. Counselling can really help. A model just died from anorexia, that's no way to be. How can people say you look hot if you're dead!

Would green tea help keep your metabolism running if you starve yourself?
Starving yourself is never a healthy option for weight loss. If you're desiring to starve yourself- why? Unless you have some diagnosed thyroid problem or injury, any normal person can reach a healthy weight through diet and exercise alone. You may very well have an eating disorder, see a psychiatrist for assistance.
Can you lose 5 pounds per week without starving yourself?
There are always ways to lose weight without starving yourself. However, 5 lbs. per week is a large amount. Starving yourself is one of the least efficient ways to lose weight. Instead of losing fat and building muscle, which will give you the desirable trimmed and toned look, you will lose mass all around, giving you the unpleasant and almost taboo skeletal look. It may help you lose weight temporarily, but when you start to eat again, your body will store all of your food as fat- it will instinctively do this because it is storing up fat to keep itself warm during "seasons of famine"- an ancient defense mechanism. The healthiest amount to lose per week is about 2-3 lbs. The best thing you can do for yourself is to eat a healthy, balanced diet and exercise regularly. Get at least 3 hours of cardio (running, etc.) and at least 1 1/2 hours of weight training per week. This is the only guaranteed way to lose fat weight and keep it off for good.
Can you lose 50 or more pounds in 5 months by throwing up or starving yourself?
