Starving

[crisp]

I had a colleague some time ago who thought she was too fat and instead of keeping a diet or exercising she.. starved herself.
Apparently no one told her she could get ill because of this.
Do you know such cases? In which people starved themselves senseless?

I heard that some models are doing this, but I don’t know anyone that I really know to be doing this. I think that this starving herself/himself isn’t right for anyone. Starving yourself will only get you much hungrier and in the end may get you even fatter because it tends you to eat more.

I agree fatguy no one should do this..

It's the worst thing one can do. Starving would prevent the body from getting all the necesarry nutrients and illness will soon folllow. A very well planned diet is important (maybe even discussed with a good nutritionist) so that one gets enough calories and nutrients for a healthy body and also less "junk". Not to forget: SPORTS. A lot of good comes from exercise, but people fail to realize this. A healthy diet and sports are the secret for better results.

Starving yourself is not one of the ways to get fit that I would recommend to anybody because you might get sick by doing so. As some of the guys here already said, it will only because you eat more because you will get hungrier.

I know someone..me , I tried this method. After a while I couldn`t resist anymore so I started to eat and…I got fat again , but more then I was before starving myself. I don`t recommend to anyone to try this method. You`ll get fat more after you`ll start to eat again.

The best way to lose weight is to eat! Trust me, I've seen 'em all! Eat healthy, low fat food and exercise. Starving is bad for the health, this will only get you a ticket to the hospital. And just for the ladies, starving will damage your hair, nails...the overall look.

Starving yourself is not a good way to get fit, but I disagree that it could cause illness like crisp said... unless, of course, it's irrational starving that takes place days in a row...
There are a lot of people who practice starving for a few days for religious reasons: for example the fasting of the the christian monks and nuns. It's said that it purifies the organism.
