By starving yourself will it gain you more pounds?

Answer 1

You dont gain more pounds by not eating. When you hear this, people are talking about the pounds you gain when you start eating again.

See, when you stop eating, your metabolism slows, you body realizes that you have stopped putting food in your stomach, and your body turns to body fat for energy. Your body stores fat for times like these.

After you hiatus of not eating, since it cannot go on forever, your body takes time to react to the food that is entering your stomach. This will put on quick weight. Your body has not had time to accelerate the metabolism and you probably are eating more because you are so hungry.

Try to lose weight in a health fashion, burn more calories than you intake. You can actually lose about 5 pounds a week. It takes about 500 calories less than you intake, basically burn 2000 calories and eat 1500 calories. You will be surprised what this will do to you. Good luck.

Answer 2

Starving yourself will cause you to gain weight. Starving, or "fasting," is a temporary behavior developed for a quick fix. While fasting, your metabolism slows down tremendously. So, when eating habits are picked back up to normality, your body isn't able to turn food and caloric intake into energy as quickly as is should. Therefore, the unused calories or energy turns into stored fat. You might lose a lot of weight by fasting, but when you stop, you'll gain back twice as much unless you plan to eat like a bird for the rest of your life. At any rate, it's just unhealthy, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Answer 5

Not if you starve. But you will slow your metabolism down...a lot! That means your body burns the calories it does get much more slowly. But if you do starve, you will lose weight. Just ask anyone who's suffered anorexia.

Answer 6

Yes because when you starve yourself your body takes food from your fat storage..Unless you are extremely skinny you will gain more weight back..When you're skinny and you try to starve yourself it can kill you and you may have to be tube-fed..Either way I do not recommend starving yourself its not good for you to do..

Answer 7

It depends on how long you starve your self. When you don't eat your body goes into self defense mode. So when you do eat it saves every bit of it. If your trying to lose weight try weight watchers they let you eat anything but they show you how to keep track of what you eat and how much you eat. It really works!

Answer 8

You could gain weight. Because your metabolism will drop so you wouldn't burn calories as easy. But you could lose weight. When you don't eat your body will first eat away at muscles to provide the body with energy, so because muscle weighs more than fat you would lose weight. But that is dangerous to do.
