Will I Lose Weight If I Stop Eating?

Can I starve myself skinny? Does it actually work?

Hey honey, what are you up to?

Hey dad, you’ve always been a fitness fanatic. What’s the best way to lose weight?

Well, by eating right and exercising. You basically want to plan it to where you are burning more calories that you are eating.

So, hypothetically speaking; would I lose weight if I just stopped eating?

You are more likely to lose consciousness.

Daaaaadd! It’s a serious question.

Well, that was a serious answer! Most people that try to lose weight by not eating are unable to complete even the most miniscule of tasks because they have no energy and their bodies give out.

Yeah, but I’ve heard of people just not eating for a few days and they lost weight.

Of course you are going to lose weight, you aren’t giving your body anything to gain any. But, most people don’t understand that it takes a lot longer than a couple of days to start seeing weight loss that way.

What do you mean? Wouldn’t your body just suck up your fat like a vacuum?

Not exactly. Your body will basically hold on to everything that it can for awhile, until it absolutely has to use it.

So you basically starve yourself for nothing because you will eventually have to eat again so you don’t die?

Basically, yes and when you eat again, your body will hang on to that because it doesn’t know when it will be fed again.

So if you want to live, then starving yourself isn’t the answer?

Okay, seriously replay what you just said in your head.

Daaaaad! I’m being serious!

Why the sudden interest in starving yourself?

It’s not me dad, I heard mom talking to aunt Amber about her high school reunion. She said she would have to starve herself for a few days to get into the dress she wanted to wear.

It just got me thinking about whether or not that would actually work. Maybe you should go and give her a serious talk about what would happen.

I don’t know, depending on what dress it is, it may be worth it.
