Do you get fatter when you starve yourself?

Answer 1

Weight can be gained indirectly by starving yourself. Starving yourself increases the likelihood of binge eating so weight may be gained that way. The body also begins to regulate itself so that it loses weight more slowly and gains weight faster when you starve yourself. It is sort of like a protection system to stop the body from being damaged when it cannot get the fuel it needs.

Answer 2

First of all, the dangers of starving yourself can vary to DEATH!

But to answer your question (and may god bless you if your tearing your body apart by starving yourself) ;) Actually your body is mostly water, once you have no food or vitamins or minerals your water in your body (that is retained) makes you retain water. And also makes you feel dizzy, sick, very likely to get ill, or face death. So you do gain a little weight in the beginning, so it is stupid to even start in the first place!

My suggestion is get a wii, and wii fit (if you can afford it) it works FANTASTIC! I lost 4 pounds in the first week! my body is amazing, and I eat right! I skip the chips and eat a delicous ripe apple! Or you can walk your dog, or jog.

Answer 3

Yes, because when you starve your metabolism lowers which makes all the nutrients in your body low. And when you start eating again you will gain alot of weight that will be difficult to get rid of.
