How much fat will I lose if I starve myself for 20 days?

[Oliver321]

you'll lose a few pounds here and there,

but then when you start eating again, you're body will store all food as fat because it would have gone into 'starvation' mode.

this means that your metabolism will just break down and you will put on loads and loads of weight when you start eating again which will eventually ruin your figure and make you look tired and ill.

so i wouldn't recommend going through all of that for no good reason except that you are a bit chubby.

you might lose weight at first, but pretty soon your body's gonna think there's a famine and will hang on to every calorie it can so you don't die. it's called "starvation mode" and can cause you to gain weight. then when you do start to eat, you gain more weight than you lost so you end up weighing more than when you started.

Even anorexics don't starve themselves for 20 days, idiot.

You wont lose much fat at all. You'll lose muscle, though. Your body will go into starvation mode where it will preserve fat, and your muscles will wither due to lack of energy in activity, and be burnt away instead of the fat.

Then, when you start eating again, your metabolism will be out of whack and wont burn many calories or fat at all for a while.

After starving yourself, you can put two to three times as much weight back on in fat, as you lost in the first place. Oh, and your muscles will still be crap.

you will die by not even drinking...just drink water and eat fruits and you will not gain weight lose your weight gradually.

I have to agree with each and everyone of the previous posters! I can't add anything else as everyone else has already given you the answers...

Quit trying to starve yourself and eat correctly & exercise - your weight will come off!

[Dancie261]

try starving yourself every other day, and eating fruits and vegetables every other. That way you will keep your metabolism going, so you'll keep losing weight, without taking in many calories. If you just don't eat, your metabolism will stop and you won't lose anything, but you'll still be ill from not eating. If you are serious about this, then eat fruits and salad every other day... or look into the Mastercleanse fast.

If she wants to do it let her, you could lose anything from 1-4 pounds per day, but each day it will get less and less, if u do do this when u come off it plz don't go straight to junk food. I know people who have starved themselves and kept the weight off, just eat more moderately and exercise a bit more gd luck!

PS DRINK ALOT OF WATER!

i would not do that for your safety, You could die at the end of 20 days depending on your weight.
