Would I lose weight fast if I only ate half a protein bar a day?

Question

I just am going to eat half a Quest bar. And when I get hungry celery, cucumber, or broccoli. And lots of water and green tea. If I decide to work out, I'll have a glass of whey protein after.

Yeah sure you would, anyone who says you don't lose weight if you don't eat is nuts. Ever seen naked and afraid? The human body is made to be able to last for a long time without having access to food, that's what your fat is there for, food stores. When you don't eat your body will eat at whatever it can get at, but it'll obviously prefer fat first. The problem with this though is that when you decide you wanna stop your body will think it's hit the jackpot and store extra calories as fat to save for a rainy day. You can avoid this, but you most likely won't, and you'll end up in the same place as you are now, only you'll have felt shitty for a month or two.

technically yes you'll lose weight but I doubt you'd even reach 500calories a day with that plan. You're going to feel tired, cranky, actual pain from hunger, headaches, dizziness etc from so few calories. You want to lose weight without feeling like crap? Find out how many calories it would take just to maintain your current weight   and then just eat less then that amount and you'll lose weight! A decrease of only 500calories a day equals one pound lost a week. For tracking your cals I recommend myfitnesspal and a digital food scale

You'll lose weight but the weight you lose will be fat and muscle. If the very thin, skeletal look is what you are going for that's fine. If you want the lean, toned look though, it's not going to get you there. You also won't be very healthy which can make you feel like crap and affect other aspects of your appearance like bags under the eyes, dull skin and hair, etc.

While I may not be a doctor, I highly object to this plan! This diet lacks a lot of necessary nutrients and will only be bad for you. If you also work out while on this diet, you will be out of the stuff your body needs in no time whatsoever and it will become a health risk. In order to get in better shape, your body needs food; but healthy food in normal amounts. A starvation diet such as this one will only be detrimental to your health!

The best way to come up with a more effective and healthy diet and exercise plan is to talk to either you doctor or a dietitian. Most dietitians offer a free talk if you just call them and ask for some advice. Please, do not follow the plan you told us about before asking a doctor or dietitian.

Nope you'll probably go into starvation mode and gain weight because your body is going to hold onto everything because you deprive it too much. Go online find out what your caloric need is or join a weightloss prpgram. Research says Weight Watchers is one of the best. You have so many options just go online and spend a few hours. The weight will come off slowly. A heathly weight loss is 1 to 2 pounds a week. I know you want it off faster but people who loose more than that are more likely to gain the weight back.

You would mostly lose water weight, if you want to really life weight try intermittent fasting. I eat a small breakfast before 7 AM and I won't eat again until after 7 PM which is an average sized meal. Its really easy if you drink A LOT of water. The 12 hour fast causes your body to go through ketosis which is basically when it starts using your fat and muscles as energy causing you to rapidly lose weight. Do not do this if you plan on cutting for defined muscles because you will lose mass.

you'd be hungry all the time, you'd be in a bad mood, your hair would fall out, you would feel horribly tired, you wouldn't even have the energy to workout.

don't bother trying those kinds of diets, carbs aren't evil. they give you energy.

Um stop starvingv yourself. you're just gonna slow your metabolism down and end up gaining more weight when you eventuallyslip from your starvation diet and overeat

Jxpxtxr · Answer

I would suggest you also add some fruits and nuts to this plan for a better balance in your diet. But to answer your question yes you should lose weight quite quickly with that.

Mia101smirh294 · Answer

No you would not loose weight fast  You would be starving yourself so your body would hold on to every calorie for as long as possible

NYkid27 · Answer

You actually don't lose weight that quickly by starving yourself because your metabolism basically stops to conserve energy

stonerboner · Answer

Sure you would. But it isn't healthy or safe to do that. You would lose muscle as well as fat. Could just starve yourself completely. But again, not safe or healthy.

Melcart23 · Answer

When you starve yourself, your body starts holding on to all the fat it can for energy. So you'd actually not be accomplishing your goal
