You will begin to get really bad headaches!
First your body burns all of its stored energy, in other words, your excess fat. Then it begins burning your muscles, and you get weak and lose all muscle tone. The hair on your head loses it's sheen, and gets thinner.
If your body starts burning muscle, remember that your heart is a muscle, and your health is *greatly* at risk. If you don't eat enough calories, you eventually die.
You would lose weight. If it continued, the body would start breaking down stored fat, then protein (meaning the muscles) if this stage of starvation occurred.

∙ 6y agoIt varies. Just not enough calories for a day or so won't really do much. Your body stores about 3 days worth of caloires in the liver to be used up naturally by the body. After that is used up, the body will naturally go to stored energy (found in fat cells) for more energy not gained through eating enough calories. If this continues, and the body is still deprived of calories, then fat will begin to be lost. Eventually, the body starves.and because people are fat and cant eat enough food
You starve to death. Calories (actually Kilocalories) are a measurement of the amount of energy stored in food. Artificial sweeteners are sweeter than sugar and can be used in much smaller amounts and generally contain less energy which is why foods that contain them have fewer calories than similar foods with sugar.
