Not eating will not cause you to lose weight as quickly as you would like. Unfortunately our bodies are programmed to "feast or famine" from the time we were cavemen. If you suddenly stop eating all together, your body instinctively "thinks" there is a famine on and it needs to retain as much fat as it can. The best way to lose weight is to eat LESS food. Halve your normal meal sizes and make sure they are healthy meals. Cut out your sugar and fats and try to eat less refined carbs such as white rice, white bread and potatoes. Eating brown rice, brown bread and sweet potato instead will mean you feel "full" for longer. You also need to exercise to burn up the food you are eating. If you exercise, your body will use up the food you have just eaten, then start in on your "stored" fat. A normal weight loss routine should see you lose 2-3lbs per week.
