If you starve yourself for a day does your metabolism slow down?

First of all starvation hardly takes place in a day. But irregardless when you stop eating you put your body into starvation mode and after a certain period of time it takes the avoidance of food as a threat and then holds onto your fat for survival mode, which is a slowed down metabolism response. The best thing to do when trying to lose weight so this doesn't happen is to eat the least amount/calorie appropriate amount of the highest value/quality of food possible so your body has the optimum nutrition to run efficiently without concern of weight gain. And a big breakfast is a good way to rev up your metabolism because it keeps you from feeling sluggish which yields low energy levels so you feel less active to exercise and lose weight.

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.
