If I don't eat and exercise a lot, will I lose weight?

[Anonymous]

If I don't eat anything for 5 days and I exersise a lot will I lose weight? How fast?

[Jessikins1989]

If you don't eat, you will not only damage yourself but you could actually put on more weight quicker, due to your body going into starvation mode and desperately storing all the fats and sugars it can as it won't know when you'll eat again.
Not only that but exercising and not eating can cause horrific halitosis! All good to be skinny, but not if everyone thinks you stink!
Your best way to lose weight is eat little and often really healthy foods, think salmon and quinoa grains, loads of vegetables, fruit and lots and lots of water, green tea will be good to detox too, just try not to eat after 7pm and always eat breakfast as it will kickstart your metabolism, also not from concentrate grapefruit juice with breakfast (if you're on any medication check with your gp first) that will be great too, lots of cardiovascular exercise and a bit of weight training for toning and you'll start slimming down in about 3 weeks, just be patient and sensible, it will happen.

One of my friends was like that once. She used to starve herself and exercise on an empty stomach. She ended up at the hospital. You won't be able to lose 50 lbs in just too weeks, that's a very crazy goal.
What you need to do is change your lifestyle. No chips, cookies, candy, cakes, ice cream etc. Only eat healthy food. Exercise every other day, and focus on different exercises every time you do. Your body needs at least one day of rest after you've exercised, because otherwise you might seriously injure yourself.
Lastly, don't be scared that people won't talk to you just because of your weight. When school starts again, don't be afraid of approaching other people and getting to know them. Smile a lot, it will make you look a lot more attractive. And don't worry too much about how you look. Everyone else is busy worrying about how they look, so they won't care about your appearance. If you're happy and bubbly, people will definitely want to befriend you.

Your body needs energy and will get it from somewhere. When you don't eat, it goes into survival mode and will convert muscle into energy first, since muscle is more easily converted into energy. You will have lost the weight that was muscle, but now you will be left with no muscle and still fat. When you start eating again, your body, still in survival mode, will immediately convert that food into fat to prevent starvation again.

Unfortunately, there is no quick, easy way to lose a lot of weight. You need to eat a balanced diet (plenty of fruits and veggies and protein), exercise every day, and you will lose about 2 pounds a week. That's a healthy amount to lose every week. I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but if you keep it up, you will eventually lose 10 lbs, 20, 30, and you will be doing it in a healthy way that keeps your body happy and fine-tuned.

Do you know what you will do if you exercise and don't eat for FIVE DAYS?

You will be in a NEAR-DEATH situation due to malnutrition, fall to the ground and nearly die if not completely, but at least you will need emergency care to restore you back on your feet. Now go and eat instead of figuring out how to die sooner, considering underweight girls aren't that attractive anyways.

[Asker]

Yes underweight girls r extremely attractive

[Mesonfielde]

Oh, you're trolling, Okay, nevermind then.
I'll leave this here though.

you won't lose much weight, your body will go into starvation mode and try to survive by holding onto whatever fat you have on your body.

[Hannah591]

You would but not healthily and you would have no energy to exercise, you'd probably end up in hospital. You also risk gaining weight because your body will go into starvation mode and hold onto anything you eat from then onwards. You can only lose weight healthily by eating less than you do now and eating healthy foods whilst exercising regularly. Starving yourself is a terrible idea.

[SuicideBlonde]

No, it's the worst idea ever. If you want to slim down, you'll have to control your calorie intake to make sure that you eat less than you burn. There's a great app for that (and also a website) called Fatsecret (it's really useful if you don't know exactly how many calories there are in your meals and how much you burn during certain exercises).

[Prof_Don]

You'll lose water weight... then ur lose muscle mass (the weight u want to keep because it gives u shape and ur metabolism)... so ur body will be skin and fat.

Not the body u want.

Exercise, and slightly reduce your calorie intake (places to cut are junk food, excessive carbohydrates). Maintain or increase ur protein intake.

[Phoenix98]

Wow no just no eat please eat not eating will cause your body to produce fat which it will eat basically not eating at all causes your body to consume itself. Eat healthy meals no junk food and exercises do not skip your meals and I am not going to lie there is no easy way to lose weight or gain muscle it is a long hard process that takes months and years just have a balanced health diet and exercises and you will get a better body and be healthier.

[milafox]

Yes, yes you probably will. You probably will end up extremely ill and in hospital also.

If you want to lose weight, EAT to lose weight. Nourish your body.

[Mesonfielde]

Once she dies, she'll lose all the pesky fat and meat from her bones, sounds like a bargain :p

[Mesonfielde]

So yes, she should eat, I agree with you

[chocolatedragon]

You'll become unhealthy. Just eat light and get good nutrition and do a decent amount of exercise.
You could lose up to 20lbs in two months if you stay true to yourself.

[Asker]

I know it's unhealthy but I need to lose it fast!!! If I don't Nobody will talk to me... It a my 8 the grade yr and every girl is super skinny I look like a cow!!

[Asker]

I have to go from 150 to 100 in 2 weeks at the least

[Mesonfielde]

Well it's their fault that they're starving themselves and decreasing their expectable life span by 20 years because they feel that destroying their organs and neurons is worth being 2 kilograms lighter.

[chocolatedragon]

The only way to lose weight that fast is through diarrhea. My school principal had diarrhea for 2 weeks and lost 15lbs. Now while I don't recommend giving yourself diarrhea, you can give yourself a natural flush. Eat four bananas every 2-3 hours. You will shit alot. Keep the habit for 2 weeks and you will drop pounds.

[BertMacklinFBI]

@Asker 150 to 100? impossible in most cases. get realistic here and accept the facts its gonna take time and commitment.

[Yellowbone]

Sweetie there's no way you can lose 50 pounds in 2 weeks. Going down the road you're taking, you'll end up passing out on your first day of school. Fitting in is not that big of a deal, & when you get my age (22) the last thing you're gonna worry about is how skinny some little girls were when you were in the 8th grade.

[BrianG123]

You might die.

Eat healthily and work out an appropriate amount. It won't happen overnight, but you'll see results and the weight will STAY OFF.

If you lose weight too quickly, it will come right back.

[AdamThomas]

You'll feel and look like complete shit. Don't do it. Eat a balanced diet and train properly, don't try to rush it, it's a gradual process. Trying to take shortcuts like that will only hold you back or even make you ill.

[SleepyChan]

I starved myself and it was the worst thing I've ever done. Learn to love yourself and know that everyone in high school are jerks.

[Asker]

How much weight did u lose?

[SleepyChan]

I did it for years. I can't remember either way, you need to learn to love yourself.

[Dionysos]

Fasting is a bad way to lose weight. Yes some will come off, but it won't stay off and it won't be as much as even the induction phase of Adkins.

[Execu]

Not eating just tells your body to go all hibernation mode and store anything you eat as fat. Eat non shit food and not to excess and exercise.

[eshka]

I was doing that when I was 15 and it was a really bad idea, don't do it, just eat hearlthy and exercise at home as well not just school.

[Mesonfielde]

of course it's a stupid idea, it can almost kill you, why would you even do that.

[eshka]

because I was a teenager with fallen hopes duh, that's why.

[BertMacklinFBI]

hahaa I love your response eshka :D

[eshka]

thank you bertmacklinfbi (:

[sean1234]

You can't simply not eat. You have to get energy to workout and you have to eat to get energy, just don't eat like a pig, LOL!

[TadCurious]

If you're trying to lose weight it's important to still eat, just not as much. If you burn off more calories than you take in, you should lose weight.

[man25]

its unhealthy. prepare a proper diet chart and follow it. You will not gain back what you ll loose.

[Annymous8]

It will diminish your metabolism. It's not good.

[sajes]

you'll gain weight
