 I'm for starving yourself. I do it. If there is no choice but 2 eat (family meal etc.) try simple things like jiggling your leg - this increases your metabolism while you eat. Try punishing yourself when you think about food - pinch your thigh for example. Spray some perfume on some tissue and keep smelling it - this will lessen your appetite. Chewing gum has about 5 calories in it but the minty-ness will make you not want 2 eat food and will also keep you having nice breath :) If you can't help but dive for the fridge - take a carrot - they contain practically no calories and because they are crunchy, your body will think you have eaten more than you have - filling you up wwaaay quicker :) hope this helps girls x

 It makes you lose weight faster... But that's not the weight you want to lose... You want to lose the unneeded FAT... Not muscle that you really need.
There's a reason why there are rehab centers for those who starve themselves... An none for those on Healthy Diets

 I'm not for starving yourself really, but as a recovered anorexic i would have to agree with the fact that starving yourself does make you loose weight super fast.

 I'm for it because in 6th grade my grandma died and i over ate and got really fat I'm finally considered average this year but i still want to get skinner =( i drink loads of water, NO fast food or meat and deff NO SODA not even diet is sucks but it works, and i eat a piece of fruit every morning to get my metabolism going and i only eat 400 calories or less when i get back home before 6 but that's every other day ! Try not to drink anything but water you will get thinner and if ur hungry munch on pickles or celery they both contain NO CALORIES that's rite 0 !

Hopefully ill weigh like 115 really soon =) wish me luck and ill come back and tell you how well it worked when I'm done =)

 Yep... It works.... I Eat every 3rd day .... I stick to 1 slice of turkey meat... 1/2 cup Spinach leaves...4-5 celery sticks and Loads of water. Every morning I have a protein shake with virtually no fat and LOADS of water all day. I lost 40 lbs in 3 months... Gained 15 over the course of 4 months and now I'm starting up again. I'm 5'2 and weighed 165... Went down to 125 and now weigh 140.... But I eat whatever I want now... Unfortunately... I miss my size 3-4....and I'm ready to ditch the food and size 6-8 again.... Soooo worth it!!!!

 I have tried starving myself, but my family and friends make me eat. Its really difficult, because once i eat one thing i just keep eating!! I love food. I am hardly ever hungry, food just sounds good. What would be some good motivation?

 Everyone who says it's bad for you has a point but keep it to yourself... I hated my body... I'm on my 3d day of total denying of food, I drink water though and I've lost so much weight... I'm male btw.. Does that have something to do with it?? Because we have more muscle? I heard muscle burns calories... So yeah.. I may have been overweight but I was pretty buff, now they're really getting toned :)

 I lost 40 pounds in about 10 weeks by doing this. I would only have maybe 1 meal per day and the rest of the day consisted of diet pepsi. I wouldn't take a break during work for fear I would be tempted to eat and I would do a quick 10 min exercise before I took a shower to go to work. Weight loss is worth the hunger pains!

 I'm for it...started this week went a couple days without more than a coffee and some nuts then half of a turkey sandwich on the third day. Take Vitamins everyday!!! Just avoid the kitchen because as soon as you eat 1 thing you can't stop! But if you pay attention to the scale and see it go down everyday it will make you stay away from the food!

 I was 145 in beginning of June, I ran lifted weights and ate only fruits, then slowly i started swimming and ate nothing for about 9 days and in those 9 days I went down to 110. Then I started craving fatty foods and am back to about 130. I am planning to starve for 7 days straight and then a salad diet to get back to 115. Love this diet, but the problem is when you HAVE TO EAT you end up binging. Or at least I do, But then I loose all that bing-eating weight in the first 2 days of my starvation. Then I repeat the cycle, binge for a day, starve for 7 days.

 I am totally for it see if you really like someone and they don't like you then you need to lose weight and i agree the best way to do it is just to drink juice for breakfast, milk for supper, and milk for supper and i only eat every three days and all i eat is between 150-450 calories i have been doing this for about 9 months and i used to weigh 191 pounds and now i weigh 124 and i am so proud of my self so try it it really does work!!!

 IT DOES WORK. I lost 12 Kilo's in 2 weeks! That's 6 kilo's a week. Drink HEAPS of water, have a glass of juice for breakfast, milk for lunch and milk again for dinner, and HEAPS of water in between. Exercise for 30-40 mins a day, and your all set! C'mon girls, sweat it out!! Get skinny and HOT

 I have been eating about 200 to 300 calories a day for 4 days. I'm able to fit in my jeans I wore last year. The reason I'm doing this is so I have a perfect body and more guys will like me. I'm average weight but I'm still considered fat. People say I have a beautiful face, but nothing about my body. I want to be 100 ibs and I'm turning 14. I eat but not a lot. I've tried making myself throw up but it disgusts me. So hopefully I'll lose 27 pounds. I've tried exercise and eating nothing but fruit but it doesn't work for me. I think the weight lost will boost my confidence when I flirt. Also I know about 5 girls in my school who have done this and there bodys look PERFECT!

 I'm for it. I have done it before but I have taken something with doing it and can loose four pounds in a day the first day. Every day after that I loose a pound a day. But that's just drinking ONLY water and eating as little as a banana a day. I have three kids so I need something that's will curb my appetite and keep the sweets away from my mouth...

 I used to starve myself, and then when people made me eat i used to throw up afterwards..due to his I'm now so ill, i have so many health problems, due to starving and being sick, i have an inflamed chest which hurts so much, stomache ulcers and a real low immune system so i catch everything, i now have salmonella, to be honest I've had every illness and the doctors have said its because of being so stupid with starving myself and bulimia and now I'm paying for it, i can't hold down a job having to take so much time off sick and basically am so depressed, its not worth it...

 Nope... A body will go into starvation mode and begin to store anything that is taken in as fat and usually results in bloating and weight gain...

 I used to starve myself to lose weight for my party. I lost almost fifty pounds in a few months with NOT starving my self but eating less calories that i used to eat.....then i would just walk around my neighborhood.....when i saw that i wasn't loosing weight as fast i decided to starve my self and yup i lost weight super fast but then i gained alom twice of what i had lost. To me at age 16 this was my only option.i wanted wanted to have the perfect body. Now i started eating a little bit less doing a some exercise........and i went from 230 pounds to 150 pound....in a a lot less than a year....now i look at my self and i still can't believe.....the first couple of days with the different eating plan is a bit hard but when you prove to your self you could do it you will be able to. I'm just a 16 year old girl......i didn't use some $1000 diet plan of special food i just at less of what i used to.......I'm 100% this will work for any one.... If i new it didn't i would waste my time writing this .... Just try it ............good luck to every one .................

 You superficial chicks make up over half the women in rehab centers for women with body issues. LOSE WEIGHT THE HEALTHY WAY!!!!! Stop eating the wrong thing, get your damn heart rate pumping, and you'll FEEL better AND gain self-confidence!!!!!!!!!! Where are your families/friends???

 Absolutely not!! With a stable diet you are in control and its gradual, with starvation, your body is starved and one day it will get very hungry and you end up eating more than you lost. Really not good for you at all.
 30 Aug 2008 12:47
by F3rn4nd3z F3rn4nd3z
 Actually, the answer is no. Starving makes it more difficult for the body to burn fats.
I know an expert doctor who says that if we wanna lose weight we should drink 21 glasses of water a day. The most important meal while dieting is the breakfast.

 Your body starts eating itself if you don't eat for a long time. Therefore you slowly but surely start to get sick. You can get diseases as well as asthma. Exercising off more calories than you took in is great. Just eat something so your body can take in the vitamins and minerals.

 In complete agreements with pencil. You'll lose more weight keeping your food in moderation than starving yourself.

by Fxxkrkio Fxxkrkio
 Quite the opposite. In the short run you may lose the weight, but you risk slowing down your metabolism so that you actually burn less calories in the long run, and you lose more muscle and bone than healthy dieters.
 29 Apr 2008 22:03

 No not eating slows down your metabolism(how ever u spell it) so you do not burn calories like you do when you eat so exercise and loss wt. The right why.

 If you care more for your looks than your long-term health sure, keep starving yourself. Instead of torturing your body, why don't you just try to get some self esteem in a healthier way. Join a sport, practice a skill. Being skinny isn't the only way to feel good about yourself.
 12 Mar 2008 02:00
by Grayrain Grayrain
 No, linking self-confidence to a reading from a scale is generally not a good idea. Long-term starvation is not a good idea. On-again off-again dieting for weight-loss is nigh-guaranteed to lead to rebound weight gain that the body will try to retain as a buffer against future periods of famine. Rebound gains are typically fat, rather than well-earned toned musculature.

For some people, well-distributed fat can be a path to self-confidence.

 It does make you loose the weight but eventually you have to start eating and it will make you put on the weight twice as fast. This is due to your body starts to store fat and food because it does not know when you are going to eat next so it will store fat.

 Sure, it will make the weight drop off, but it's energy you lose, not fat. I can assure you that it doesn't work as well as you might think. I am a recovered anorexic/bulimic. I was once overweight and then, I started a crash diet. It took me 9 months to lose 60 lbs. If I had gone about it the right way, I would've had the same results anyway, but with a healthier outcome. Starving yourself is never a good idea as it may lead to much more serious complications than being overweight.

Do you get people looking at you in disgust BECAUSE you are fat?? No thought not, so pls don't say what you are saying unless you really know how we feel!!

 I lost half a stone in 3 days by starving myself,it works but its hard to stop once you start and it messes your head up,you cant think straight and get really moody and once you start eating again you put twice as much back on so you'v really got to know what your doing

 No way! Starving yourself reduces needed nutrient in the body! You may get sick easily or die of malnutrition! Even though you may become slimmer, starving yourself can be very dangerous! I suggest not starving yourself!

 This "diet" is one of the most unhealthiest ways to lose weight. By doing this, you are only losing weight for a short amount of time. I can guarantee that those ten pounds, and more, will be back on your body in no time. Plus, you are sending a bad message to teens out there who will be starving themselves tonight just to lose a pound or two because someone named marquirita said it was a good idea. And they will starve, look gaunt, and end up in the hospital because of your advice. And please don't tell me that what i said was harsh - it's the truth.
