Starving yourself is called anorexia. Anorexia can lead to serious medical problems including but not limited to death. If you need to lose weight try eating balanced meals and exercising. If you have the urge to eat then eat! Starving doesn't work because as soon as you get hungry and you eat, the vapors in your stomach will store the food you just ate as fat! and the less you eat the more you store as fats! just eat fruits, pasta, run a little each day (5 minutes), and drink water!! and you'll be good!

If by "work" you mean lose weight then yes... but then there's the issue of regaining every pound and then some when you start eating again, as well as developing dangerous nutritional deficiencies. It is true that the less you eat the more your body will want to store fat. Safe nutritional calorie restriction does work, and is recommended but you have to keep being hungry and keep eating very small amounts or else you will just gain it all back. It is not true that being hungry will make you fat, in fact it is almost impossible to lose weight without being hungry at some point.

no, because when you are hungry your body thinks you are dying. so it stores everything you eat into fat. if you don't believe me look at some videos of poor countries. they get all bloated and are still hunger. and also you can faint
