im a 20 year old female and once i didnt eat anything for two whole days. well not like meals. i had a cup of coffee and something else like that. well anyway on the morning of the 3rd day i felt sick. this was weird. i went to work and kept having to urge to throw up but i didnt have the oppurtunity so i just kept swallowing it (GROSS). once i got to throw up (it was weird colored like a dark yellow-green) i felt better. HOw come i got sick when i didnt eat anything? i dont get it. usually when youre sick with something you dont eat so you wont throw up. i wasnt even sick! i was just busy and didnt have time to sit and eat something. im just curious why i threw up that day!

Sounds like it was stomache acid that you were throwing up. Drinking nothing but coffee, or as you put it, coffee and "something else" isn't good regardless, but not eating, and then drinking coffee really can't be good for you. And what was the other something? Candy? Energy pills? Vitamins? If you want a good answer, you should tell what that something is.
You threw up because your body was trying to tell you that you need to eat. It's not healthy to not eat. I really find it hard to believe that anyone is too busy to eat, even a small meal or snack. And for two days? It sounds more like you were trying to starve yourself to lose weight, which is not the healthiest thing to do, and will actually backfire and do the opposite...it'll make you gain weight since your body is in starvation mode.

when your body does not get the food it needs it becomes desperate, your body and your brain especally works on cirtan fuels that must be eaten. when you don't eat for a couple of days your body will start to restort to other sources of food, fat and muscle. your brain only runs of protien so your own muscles will actually start to deteriate if you do not eat. as for the sickness and vomiting, that is caused by what is know as ketossis, where your body burns fat resurves for alternative fules, this will cause you to become ill and if allowed to continue, will cause you to have bad results suck as bad breath, strange body oder and of cource head aches and sickness.
