When starving yourself does it eat your muscle away and help get rid of it?

When dieting, not just when starving yourself, your muscles damage themselves while being used. The damage isn't as severe as tearing a muscle, but the tissue does need time to recover. If there's enough protein in the body, resting will allow the body to use the protein to repair the muscle tissue. If there isn't enough protein, the body may try to get it elsewhere, but in general it cannot convert other stored mass, such as fat, into protein. Thus you start to lose muscle tissue. This is '''not''' a healthy way to reduce muscle tissue.

no. Yes. It does. When you run you are trying to push the ground away from yourself almost and then you kick away backwards. Also, when you run uphill, you use alot of butt muscle.

How can you gain muscle without using weights?
Other forms of exercise such as running, cycling and swimming are all good ways to help muscle growth as well as fitness. However, muscle development can only occur with a decent diet, and is helped a lot by eating foods with the right nutrients. Starving yourself will not help; the exercise just destroys muscle tissue and your body has nothing to repair and rebuild with. There are some other ways to increase muscle mass, but discuss it with your doctor if you want to know more about them.
Are there any exercises that guarantee weight loss?
It all depends on whether one can stick to their diet plans, getting a personal trainer would help out a lot because they can help set up a personal work out and nutrition plan to meet your needs. Never just stop eating, cut back on your portions but do not stop eating as eventually starving yourself your body will turn upon itself. It won't eat the fatty parts away, it will first eat away your muscle and organs.

How long does it take to lose 90 pounds by starving yourself?
ahah i think you'd die way before then If you eat nothing at all for more than a few weeks you will die. However, if you want a mathematical answer, 90 pounds of fat is equal to about 315,000 calories. If you eat 1000 calories fewer than your metabolic needs (which are going to get lower and lower as your metabolism slows), you could lose the 90 pounds in about a year. This is not adjusting for muscle loss of course, as you will most likely lose muscle in the process as well. The more protein you provide yourself and the more you weight lift the less muscle you will lose. However, if you "starve" yourself you are inviting a host of nutritional deficiencies. I'd recommend eating liver every other day if you're seriously considering a "starvation" approach.
