People lose weight by starving as the body resorts to using energy stored in fat cells to keep active and moving. Calories provide a lot of the body's "fuel", per say, throughout the day as you consumer them. Excess that are not burned off are atored away in cells for your body to use when it needs to. Without any intake of calories through starvation, the body must begin to use the excess that was stored away. This however, is not healthy. Your body could go into a panic mode, and convert all food to fat for means of instintual survival. This is also not a healthy way to lose weight. You need food and water to survive and to be healthy. A better way to lose weight would be through diet and exercise.
