    No, I won't. I just drink a lot of water now.

    do you want to kill yourself? you body can live off fat and water for 1 week, after 1 day of not eating u will be sluggish, 2 days u will be tired like hell, then third day ur body will shut down metabolism and feed off fat for ur energy, 4th day ur gonna start to die lol, ur body will run off energy but ur body wont have nutrients so its gonna start to feed off ur muscles, 5th day... umm prepare a will and a coffin.


    once u start eatcing again, ANYTHING, scince ur body shuts off metabolism, EVERYTHING will go to fat.

    good luck..

    I think he's hit the nail (not specifics like what day you'll die, I'm guessing 8/9 days for you, being so skinny and all).

    look; you need to understand that starving yourself without proper nutrients will NOT lose you fat, wont make your 6apck show up, won't make your face any trimmer. the body thinks its in a deprived state, and heads straight for your glycogen. meanwhile, your metabolism is coming to an absolute halt so the body can conserve as much energy as it can since your body think it's in a deprived state (which in essence it really is).

    THEN, after all of your muscle mass is gone, all of your glycogen, your body will aim for body fat as a last resort. unfortunately, unless you're practically skin and bones; this sure isn't going to happen within a week.

    if you're going through with this crazy idea, at least get proper nutrients. eat a multi-vitamin. maybe you should eat an egg white 3 times a day, one large egg has about 17 calories in the white. do not eat the yolk, it is loaded with fat and cholesterol. egg whites have no fat, cholesterol, badstuffetcetc. then put like hatsauce on it

    Speaker pretty much hit the nail on the head there.
    Anyways, losing that much weight in such a small time frame, regardless of how you lose it, is incredibly unhealthy. I suggest just sucking it up and dealing with a little extra weight 1we8.gif

    Why do u need to lose weight like this? Why can't you do it like a normal person with excersize and a good diet instead of starving youself. It is definatley not worth it because if you lose weight it will also take a toll on you. Paleness, unhealthily skiiny looking face, bags under your eyes, and the body of a poor orphan child are the only thing waiting for you at the end. Goodluck and see you in a clinic in 1 year or so if you continue.

    To be honest, that's the dumbest way possible to lose weight. And the most dangerous too.
    You shouldn't do it.

    Eat less but don't not eat at all.

    Can I ask what even gave you this idea? Crash diets, starving yourself, etc. makes you drop weight quickly, but you gain it all right back, and your weight ends up being more than when you started.

    If your trying to lose weight for the long run, 2-5 lbs. a week is the highest amount you should lose(you might lose more in the first 2-3 weeks, but eventually it'll level off). Also, eat foods in the closest to natural state you can get. Raw vegetables and fruits are usually more nutritious than cooked ones, and choose whole grains, etc. Also, if you weigh yourself daily, then your more likely to keep the weight off.

    Exactly, 2 lbs a week is generally a good, healthy, safe amount to aim for.

    If you were not a vegetarian I would strongly suggest that you eat skinless chicken (Yumm... Chicken breasts). Seriously, grill up several, cut them up, and eat them on subs for a few days to a week. Thats what I do, I love it smile.gif Also- fish, both are good, lean, healthy sources of protein. Also, drink several glasses of skim milk, the protein and the calcium are pretty important.

    Other than that, cut out the soda, you will notice a HUGE difference. I sure did at least. Go for a walk instead of sitting around, or better yet, run. Do some lifting, and get active. You may not lose weight if you lift, but you will notice a huge change in your body composition.

    I agree with all the advice.

    By the way, those saying you'd be f'd up after a week are dead wrong. I went about 8 days without eating anything at all and keeping my metabolism and whits simply by taking diet pills (tons of caffeine). I got dizzy sometimes but certainly didn't die...water does wonders for keeping you full. I was about 8% body fat at the time so I was relatively skinny.

    I remember after I stopped fasting I eating like a pig and gained 6 more pounds than before I started fasting. Basically starving yourself will make you want to eat ALOT after you stop. Exercise (cardiovascular activities), eat healthy, and drink ALOT of water.

    Good lucks

    Well, I'm not fat, but I want to drop some quick weight. How much ould I drop in 1 week without eating?

    Man this way of losing weight quick by not eating is the DUMBEST most LAZY most Haha r u on crack thing methods. I agree with wat are most of the people are talking about since I am currently taking Bio 11 so I have a general, a little detailed, knowledge about body fats, muscle, diets, that shit. There probably might be some bad long term effects of this, whether it be small or big, I mean a massive change like this in such a short time(say if you ate alot before this and you choose 2 do this) will make your body have to adapt under xtreme pressure. I am not entirely sure but this is my educated guess from this based on wat I've learned.

    Atleast take some nutrition pills and protein pills.

    Wow......Honestly wow.......Unless he is a man hooker, I think'd he still like you if you are 10-15 heavier. Honestly man this is one of the most immature shit I have ever heard off. Going on a healthy low fat diet for a date or dance in 2 weeks is reasonable, but fuckin starving yourself man? That FUCKED up.

    My mood a little too serious mature now? Ye I just have been doing a project nd my mind is like in scientific mode. Would've prolly made some non-insulting jokes but o well...
