How do people who eat nothing & only drink water, manage to lose weight? Dont fat cells store water?

Answer 1

Fat cells do not store water, only extra calories. Those people usually get really sick because they don't give themselves any nutrients.

Answer 2

No, fat cells store fat. Those who eat nothing are losing (in this order) water weight, muscle weight, and waste weight. No fat is lost. Rather, the body hangs onto it - literally - for dear life. The weight they lose is not conducive to actual weight loss and works against a long term solution for a healthy diet.

Answer 3

it is very unhealthy way to lose weight, actually fasting ik if once a month for detoxing the body but this is no way to lose weight permanently, the lost weight will def. creep back. Here is the permanent weight loss solution...

Answer 4

at first they lose water weight and then muscle mass, fat is metabolized last. most people with eating disorders have a high percentage of body fat as a direct result of poor eating habits and periods of starvation
