Answer 2

If someone stopped eating and exercised like crazy, they'd start burning stored fat almost immediately. Once they decided they had lost enough weight and started to eat again, their body would say, "Holy smokes! That was a disaster! I had to give up all that stored fat that I was counting on for a rainy day. Now I'll have to work on replacing it, and fast, before she starts starving me again."
So your body will slow your metabolism down to the bare minimum to keep your organs operating, and will run all your body systems very, very efficiently, so it can take almost all the food you are eating and turning it back into fat. The next time you try to stop eating and exercise like crazy, your body will be really stingy with how much fat it uses out of those nice reserves of lard. And it will be harder and harder, each time you try.
If you're interested in losing weight, do it slowly, and steadily.
If you want to exercise to help that along, start slow and build up gradually, otherwise you're going to have pulled muscles, tendonitis, shin splints, calcium deficiencies, and a dozen other ailments that come with overdoing activity when your body isn't accustomed to it or trained for it.
Does that answer your question?

Answer 3

You don't start burning stored fat, your body will eat off the muscle 1st(that's why it is called STORED fat for back in the cave man days when food was few and far bewteen)) you will only start eating stored fat after nothing is left to eat, by that time it won't matter you will probaly be in a wheelchair as you won't have muscle strength to hold you up.

Answer 4

only in a matter of days but most likely after a week or 2 but it is also veary bad to do this because Your body will go into starvation mode and once you have stopped eating for a while then you star eating agin your body will store up as many calories as possible casing you to gain the weight right back.

Answer 5

The severe limiting of caloric intake or even stopping it is called anorexia. While if you are doing this for a day or two to fit into a dress it isn't likely to have long term effeccts, if is not a way to long term lose weight and stay healthy. Side effects include"

severe dehydration, possibly leading to cardiovascular shock
electrolyte imbalance (such as potassium insufficiency)
cardiac arrhythmias related to the loss of cardiac muscle and electrolyte imbalance
severe malnutrition
thyroid gland deficiencies which can lead to cold intolerance and constipation
appearance of fine baby-like body hair (lanugo)
bloating or edema
decrease in white blood cells which leads to increased susceptibility to infection
osteoporosis
seizures related to fluid shifts due to excessive diarrhea or vomiting

In the short term when you lose weight this way you are typically losing water and becoming dehydrated.

I assume you are asking this for one of two reasons. Either you have a special even coming up that you want to look good for. In that case remember any dramatic weight loss you have will typically be gained back once you return to your regular eating patterns. Or you are looking to jump start your weight loss. In reality, the shock method of weight loss can actually slow your progress over time and it unhealthy. If you are seeking this as a new lifestyle I recommend you obtain help as soon as possible.

Answer 6

4 days

Answer 7

if u stop eating, stored fat is the laaassssssttttttt place the body will look to get energy.

it will use up water, muscle and other tissues...

so to answer ur question it all depends on the person's metobolic rate and the amount of other reserves stored in their body

Answer 8

it depends on the person's metabolism, but anywhere from 1 - 2 days

(and actually, fasting does not make us lose muscle, because it is impossible to lose muscle. It will, however, shrink your muslces if you fast for more than a few days. Fasting also boosts your immune system if you do it repsonsibly).

Answer 9

if you stop eating your body will actually burn muscle before fat.. when you do eat again your body will then prepare itself by storing even more fat then normal and you will gain more weight!

Answer 10

1-2 days, however, weight lost this way returns back quicker than the time it took to lose it, so please keep in mind the following when looking for a diet plan:

Every year Americans invest billions of dollars in weight loss diets and gimmicks, many of which yield few results. However, the lure of quick, easy weight loss is hard to resist. Despite ineffective tools, most hopeful consumers are willing to give the next weight loss fad a chance. If you're planning to start a new diet, it is important to remember the following information.
Food-specific diets: Have you ever tried the cabbage diet or the fruit-only diet? These are just a couple of examples of diets that promote one "specific" food that causes weight loss. No matter how much you think you'll enjoy ice cream at every meal, inevitably you will get bored with eating the same food repeatedly. As a result, you'll eat less food than needed to maintain your weight. This type of diet will not teach you healthier eating habits or provide a balance of nutrients, and consequently is not effective for long-term weight loss.

High-protein, low-carbohydrate diets: One of the most recent trends in dieting, these diets are based on the concept that carbohydrates are "bad" and that everyone has some degree of insulin resistance, resulting in poor carbohydrate metabolism. Many proponents of these diets suggest that including carbohydrates in your diet will cause weight gain. The reality, though, is that eating more calories (whether as carbohydrate, fats, or protein) than you burn will cause weight gain.

High-fiber, low-calorie diets: Fiber-rich foods play an important role in a healthy diet. They are a helpful ingredient of weight loss efforts because they provide bulk to the diet, which helps you feel fuller sooner. Be careful, though: if you plan to increase the fiber in your diet, be sure to increase your fluid intake at the same time or you may experience cramping, bloating, and constipation. High-fiber diets will help with weight loss only if you restrict calories in conjunction with addition of extra grains, fruits and vegetables.

Liquid diets: Consumers face a couple of different liquid diet options. Your local grocery store and pharmacy sell over-the-counter liquid meal replacements, which can be expensive and frequently add extra calories to daily consumption if not managed carefully. On the other hand are liquid diets that require medical supervision. These diets are usually very low in calories and may result in metabolic abnormalities if dieters are not carefully monitored. Neither type of liquid diet should be used for long-term weight loss unless monitored by a health care professional. Radically changing your caloric intake in this way will not result in long-term behavior modification and healthy eating patterns.

Fasting: As a way to cleanse the body or jump-start a weight-loss program, fasting has been recommended for years. However, all that fasting really does is deprive your body of nutrients and decrease your energy, leaving you feeling weak and lightheaded. If the right nutrients are not available for your cells to use as energy, your liver will convert fat stores to ketones for use as energy (ketosis). Long-term ketosis can be harmful to your health.
No fad diet or gimmick will work magic for safe and effective weight loss. The following are some suggestions for ensuring a long-term healthy eating plan and getting your weight loss efforts off to an encouraging start:
Eat a variety of foods. Remember, a balanced diet will ensure that you get all necessary nutrients.

Get some physical activity every day. Calories in must be less than calories out to ensure successful weight loss. To keep "calories out" at a healthful level, make you get at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day.

Include sources of fiber in your diet. They will add bulk and give you a feeling of fullness.

Choose a diet low in fats, saturated fats, and cholesterol. You do need to consume some fat for good health. Aim for no more than 30 percent of your total calories as fat calories, of which no more than 10 percent should be saturated fat calories.

Choose foods moderate in sugars. Foods that are high in simple sugars usually offer little nutritional value and will add unwanted calories.

Choose foods moderate in salt and sodium. Remember that salt has been added to many foods during preparation or processing, so it's not necessary to add extra salt at the table.
