What will happen is your bodies metabolism will start slowing down and your body will attack the muscles first for nutrition. then after time the fat will start to be used, but as soon as you eat again all of that food will go straight to fat because your bodies starving and trying to store food. The answer to your question of course is yes, but it is definitley not the fastest way to lose weight.

Ask the victims of the Holocaust that question! Yes. If you do not eat and can manage to stay somewhat healthy, you will lose weight. On a side note, when the Allies discovered the Nazi concentration camps they discovered that the prisoners had gone so long without food that the only way for them to gain weight was to go on a “binge-fast” diet. They would eat a lot of food one day, then fast, or eat very little, for a day or two. The body’s response was the feast or famine response with the metabolism slowing down so that the person gained weight.

Starvation diets are not the way to go. As soon as you stop eating, your brain gets a signal that there is famine in the land. The first thing it tells your body to do then is to store fat.
Ironically, it TAKES fat to BURN fat. Burning fat requires energy, and fat is the energy. If your intake goes down, so does your body’s ability to burn fat. Simultaneously, the body will start tapping muscle for its energy. That makes it worse, because muscle maintenance burns a lot of fat calories. The less muscle you have, the less fat you burn.
The best thing is to lay off the carbs, THEY are the real enemy. Carbs facilitate the storage of fat. Load up on protein, and reduce carbs. You don’t have to worry about fat too much then.
You also need to hit the weights.
Here’s the book you need (I swear, I need a permanent link to this): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0743237...
It’s “The Testosterone Advantage Plan,” by Schuler, et al.

you will loose weight temporarily, but if yo dont eat enough, the little food you get your body turns into fats. So those diets where u loose 10 pounds in a week by starving yourself dont work.

yes, some people could probably go a week and not eat anything to lose weight, but you would be better off eating something like bread once in a while or carrots or veggies or somethin to keep the hunger under control

Yes you are right but at first the body will kick into starvation mode where it will try to conserve as much fat as possible. Gradually, as this fat is not being replenished by you eating food, your body will start to eat away it’s fat stores before then starting on muscle tissue if you starve yourself for long enough.
Best way to lose it is to eat little and often. That way you are not starving and your body will continue to use up calories as normal. This will stop the fat being stored by your body.

It is called fasting and done by Jesus, Moses, Aristotle, Plato Pythagoras, Mark Twain and Vidal Sassoon and do you think they are dumbasses? This site has has 11 MDs saying it is good for health. One MD has website saying it saved his life. Site has New England Journal of Medicine saying it is good for weight loss.
You can be an MD with 4 years of college, 5 years medical school and finally get to work with live people as an intern for a couple of years. Do people who think that fasting and starvation are the same thing think that rape and sex are the same thing??????http://phifoundation.org/fast.html

Yes, you will lose weight if you do not eat anything. Although eventually, your body will go into starvation mode and hang on to whatever is left in your body. By that time, you will look like a walking skeleton, probably have lost a lot of hair, and caused major health problems for yourself.
