You can, but that is not very healty for you and once you start to eat normal again, you will gain the weight back very fast. I am trying to lose weight right now. I have found out that in order to lose 1 lb a week you have to cut out 500 calories a day. It takes 3500 calories to lose 1 lb of fat. Just eat healthy and exercise. And remember muscle weighs more than fat. Good luck and God Bless:)

  • Yes, you will lose some weight initially but you may also make it harder to lose weight in the long term and in the future. To lose weight, you need to eat a healthy amount of calories. When you do not eat, your body thinks that you are starving (your body then goes into starvation mode) and that makes it harder for you to lose weight. Therefore, if you want to lose body weight, you should still eat. Just exercise more than you eat. Don't eat sweets or junk food and engage in cardio exercise.
  • You do need to eat. You just need to make better food choices and exercise more. If you are having difficulty losing weight, try cardio exercise if you are able. Cardio does not have to be running or jogging. Cardio walking is an excellent fat burner. It is easier on your body than running or jogging and it is sustainable long term.

You cannot live on just water. Your body will deteriorate from the lack of nutrients in foods like carbs and proteins and so forth. So technically you will lose weight, but at an expense to your health overall.

Due to dehydration, a starvation diet causes a significant decrease in muscle mass and water weight. Your metabolism may slow down as a result, and you may have increased hunger, overeat, or experience nutritional deficiencies that may have an impact on your daily activities. Therefore, starving is never the answer .

You will lose weight because your are burning more calories than consuming. This is not healthy and ultimately not sustainable.

If you drink green tea and 4 gallons of water and starve yourself how many pounds would you lose in 1 day?

One day? None, you'd actually gain water weight depending on how much water you normally drink. But over time you'd loose weights. You'd loose it slower at first, then it's get to about 4-6 pounds a week, but slowly tapering off as your metabolism slowed.


How much weight can you lose on a water diet?

You can lose a lot of weight very quickly. But there's a catch. Once you start putting foods in your body you will put on the weight you lost... and then some. Starving yourself is a truly terrible idea. And if you try to starve for too long, you will start bingeing when your body/brain override your desire to starve yourself and lose weight. My recommendation: eat healthy and work out many times a week. It might not be as fast, but you will have lasting results.


Is there a way to lose weight without exercising?

Watch your diet. Only drink water, no soda or juice (there is a lot of calories in juice) But do not starve yourself, contact your Dr. or a dietitian so that you get enough nutrients.I believe that is not possible because your body needs a balance of a diet. So what that means is that a way to lose weight is to eat healthy and exercise. In addition, be patient to get results.


How many pounds will you lose in a week if you starve yourself and exercise?

If you starve yourself and exercise for a week, you could probably lose anywhere from 5 to 10 lbs. But, that will mostly be water weight and not the weight from fat that you are hoping to lose. When you starve yourself, your body goes in "starvation mode," meaning that everything you eat is stored directly as fat because the body conserves as much energy as possible to keep you alive because it thinks you are starving to death. Therefore, it would take you longer to lose that ten pounds of by fasting rather than eating healthy and exercising.


What is the best way to lose weight without starving?

Drink lots of water, eat fruits and vegetables. Try your best to eat as healthy as you can without starving yourself. Remember to work out at least 30-60 minutes a day. You need to burn off 3500 calories to lose a pound of fat. Don't forget to workout and eat healthy, remember don't starve yourself!!


A person who is starving is losing?

The answer is yes; losing body resistance and weight but with grave consequences. If you starve yourself intentionally, you may lose some weight, however, the nutrients will be depleted and your body suffers. In the long run, you get sick and I'd rather you didn't. To lose weight, you need to eat moderately, exercise, and stop eating extra. Drink raw juice, water, green tea instead of soft-drinks
