Weight Loss Diet

Question from : starving yourself makes you “not lose weight”, then how are anorexic people so skinny?
“Starving yourself is not a good solution for weight loss. When you starve yourself, the body tries to conserve more food in order to prevent death, since it receives starvation as a signal for famine. This makes it more difficult to lose weight”

thats an answer from a question on Y!A asking how long it takes to see results from starving yourself.

if your body goes into “preservation-mode”, then why are anorexic people so skinny?
:S that confuses me just a bit.

Answer by lindseyy
Well at first if you dont eat your body stores fat because it goes into preservation mode, but then if it starts eating away at the fat in your body there will eventually be nothing left if your not putting food into your body!

because they have no muscle

Answer by Lord of Questions and Answers
Anorexic people are so skinny because they not only starve themselves, but they also exercise frequently. Although this can differ from person to person, this is the main reason. It can also just be that they have an extremely high metabolism.

Answer by Bobbie E
It messes up your metabolism when you don’t eat. Obviously you would be skinny but not at all healthy and in the long run it would be hard to lose weight when you do start eating again

Answer by bebe_girl♥
anorexia is like a health condition…which is a difference between a person who actually tries to starve themselves…its just something in their system.

Answer by xonlywishesx
Because they do it for months and months and years and years. Eventually the body will eat itself. It’s just not a “quick fix” for losing a few vanity pounds.

Answer by Seth M
Because after awhile your body will eat fat then muscle for energy. people that are anorexic go with out food alot time for it to start eating fat and muscle and it is not recommended if you really do care about your health.

Answer by るな すたあ
yeah I never got that myslef I think you can lose weight when starving yourself. Deffently not the right way to do it but it can be done. I think the reason why people say that so they can make people stop from being anorexic, but lying to people isn’t the right way to stop them. I dunno that’s just how I see it.

Answer by Ta-Zu (&Miku)
Yeah, it doesn’t make sense when you read it.

But the anorexics who are super-skinny usually have been anorexic for a long time. Over time, your body will eat at it’s muscle to supplement what you’re not getting.

It’s not a good way to lose weight, because honestly, the starvation, you screw up your metabolism for when you’re older and it becomes really hard to lose weight.
Plus, starvation – for girls, I know, you could lose your ability to reproduce.

edit: most people who ask on here how long it’d take to get this weight from starving themselves want a quick fix.
the quick fix usually results in gaining more weight later on.

Answer by Vegetarian Rockstar
That’s not true. Starving does make you lose weight! I’m super skinny and I’m not anorexic..and I don’t starve myself.

Answer by em,
starving yourself for a few days won’t make you skinner, anorexic people don’t eat for a longer period of time, where their body shuts down.
If you don’t eat for just a few days, you’re body starts to shut down and restore its fat.

Newly released media reports indicate that medical experts from the Johns Hopkins University School of health medicine have important concerns about the consumption of energy drinks principally for youths and younger people. They suggest warning labels mounted on almost every energy drink.

If these Great tasting energy drinks just contain 83 mg of caffeine and coffee has roughly 130 mg, maybe a warning label could be attached to coffee tin, if this is the primary reason for the warning labels.

Any specific energy beverage that has extra caffeine as evaluate against coffee ought to probably have a cautionary label simply because caffeine can cause undesirable side effects. Caffeine in huge levels can set off heart palpitations and serious jitters, which may be dangerous to a few people.

This ought to be the warning that is should be attached to energy drink container.

Another side effect of higher sugar energy beverages will be the energy hurtle and weight gain that can happen from consuming higher amounts of sugar.

You are losing water weight, whch will be gained back as soon as you drink water. Considering that water is necessary for living, …yeah. don’t do it.

Answer by Taylor M
it doesn’t really work because sweating is losing water to cool the body and you’ll eventually get it back the next time you drink water. If you want to lose weight try jogging everyday. It will build more muscle mass which it essential to losing weight. or lift weights and do crunches

Gee whiz, that sounds massively uncomfortable! Sounds like a recipe for dehydration and potential suffocation to me.

With all due respect, I think I’d try moving around more and eating less!

Best wishes!

Answer by CiCi
Yes, you’ll sweat and probably lose a little water weight but, as soon as you drink a few glasses of fluids, you’ll gain it back.

Question from RockStarMel: What can I do to “lose weight” in one week?
I am 5 fee tall (short) and I’m 18… I weigh more than I would like to weigh and I want to drop as many pounds as I can by next friday… today is Saturday so what can I do diet wise and excersize wise? I am typically a petite girl but because of a birthcontrol I was on, I gained 30 unwanted pounds… i’m not expecting to lose 30 pounds by next week but I would like to know what I can do to look great by next friday… any ideas?

My ideal and (used to be) normal weight was 95 lbs… reaching 100 lbs was always hard for me to do until the birth control… I’m at 125 right now… i’m about a size 5 but would like to go down as much as possible… what can I do for the next week?
I currently have a pretty good diet… I only drink water (i HATE soda!) I eat lots of fruits and veggies… my diet is usually a salad or a simple no mayo no mustard turkey and veggies only kind of sandwich… I don’t eat much fatty foods… with that being said, I’m not sure if my diet is the main problem…. What kind of excersize should I do?

Answer by thecangopher
well the best way to lose weight is to get your metabolism to work faster.

Lay off eating anything with a lot of fat in it.
Drink 64 oz of water a day if possible.
Dont eat too many starches.
Green veggies are good but avoid corn and the like.
Did I mention, water? lol.

Hope that helps.

Answer by Italia 28
Reduce your salt intake so you don’t bloat up. Drink a full glass of water before every meal and eat slow to allow your body time to fill up. Do not eat after 6pm, if you do eat raw veggies. Eat Breakfast, Lunch and a very light dinner, like a salad. Do not stop eating or your body will retain FAT in its own defense against starvation.

Answer by Eiffel Tower
You can try this way that only drank water for seven days. It porbably could lose some your weight.

Answer by mjtuf1
ok losing too much weight too fast is very bad for your health. Now im the complete opposite, i would like to gain 30 pounds by next friday! Now you dont need to lose 30 pounds, 10 or 15 would be fine. the best weight loss thing for me was getting sick once, i dropped 12 pounds in 2 days! lol but in all seriousness if you wanna lose that weight, work, work, work, work and work it off, thats all i can say. Dont eat ANY CARBS or FATS, and jog alllllllll day! If you have a diet low in carbs, then your body will be forced to use fats as a source of energy and it would burn off fat. Dont drink any soft drinks, dont even drink gatorade, just water, but dont over do it with the water either. Just wear heavy layers of sweats, and run or jog a good amoutn each day. Your only a short goal away from your destination, so work extremely hard and dont cheat your diet at all or slack off 1 bit and you’ll reach your goal rather quickly.

Answer by Dillon
Trying biking or running for exercise, do this and bring some water to hydrate yourself so that you can run longer and so you don’t faint from heat exhaustion. Also do some pushups or other exercise to build muscle which will burn up calories.

Dietwise, watch your calories, try to stick under 2000 a day which your body will most likely burn off even if you are just staying still all day. Drink water only. (I usually drink juices and stuff, but if you are looking to lose as much weight as possible safely, just stick with water.) Don’t eat out and watch your portions.

You might not lose a ton of weight but if you continue a healthy diet and exercise routine you will be there pretty soon.

I really hope that this helps you. Good luck.
