Probably. Death is the ultimate weight loss.

Please contact a physician and ask them about healthy weight loss.

Pay no attention to fad diets or TV diets or celebrity diets. Also pay no attention to skinny malnourished models.

Why is it that when you starve yourself for a while - a week or so - you only lose 3 to 5 pounds when you want to lose more?

There are thousands of calories in a pound, so even if you skip a whole weeks calories its difficult to lose too much weight. Additionally, by starving yourself you slow down metabolism and slow the weight loss process more. If you wanna lose more weight, take the time to do diet and exercise and give yourself weeks, not days, to lose pounds.


How many pounds will you lose in a week if you starve yourself and exercise?

If you starve yourself and exercise for a week, you could probably lose anywhere from 5 to 10 lbs. But, that will mostly be water weight and not the weight from fat that you are hoping to lose. When you starve yourself, your body goes in "starvation mode," meaning that everything you eat is stored directly as fat because the body conserves as much energy as possible to keep you alive because it thinks you are starving to death. Therefore, it would take you longer to lose that ten pounds of by fasting rather than eating healthy and exercising.

Can you lose 5 pounds per week without starving yourself?

There are always ways to lose weight without starving yourself. However, 5 lbs. per week is a large amount. Starving yourself is one of the least efficient ways to lose weight. Instead of losing fat and building muscle, which will give you the desirable trimmed and toned look, you will lose mass all around, giving you the unpleasant and almost taboo skeletal look. It may help you lose weight temporarily, but when you start to eat again, your body will store all of your food as fat- it will instinctively do this because it is storing up fat to keep itself warm during "seasons of famine"- an ancient defense mechanism. The healthiest amount to lose per week is about 2-3 lbs. The best thing you can do for yourself is to eat a healthy, balanced diet and exercise regularly. Get at least 3 hours of cardio (running, etc.) and at least 1 1/2 hours of weight training per week. This is the only guaranteed way to lose fat weight and keep it off for good.
