Question

should i eat something ?

Answer 1

Good Lord, eat something. You don't lose weight by starving yourself. That actually makes you fatter by slowing your metabolism. Six smaller, nutrient dense meals and resistance exercise are all you need.

Answer 2

Your body needs (average - you'd need to work it out for yourself)

2000 cals for a woman

2500 cals for a man

Just to live, just to sit in your bed all day, and to survive, it's known as basal metabolic rate http://health.discovery.com/tools/calcul...

So what you should do is work out how many calories you need to survive and either - do more sport so that you are in deficit of calories, or cut down your food so that you are in deficit, however, you should not try to survive for long periods of time on less than 1000 cals (women) and 1500 cals (men) - as long as you are approx 500 cals in deficit per day then you will lose weight.

What you are currently doing is telling your body that there is a famine, and what your body is doing is storing all the fat reserves, and slowing down your basal metabolic rate, what will happen is - when you eat your body will store lots of fat and calories for the next famine.

Think of your body as a car, it needs fuel to function - it's just working out how much fuel you need.

Go and eat something, and don't be surprised if you binge now because you are so hungry, try to eat slowly and listen to your body, when it's full stop eating.

Answer 3

By not eating any breakfast and consuming only water your body is in "starvation mode". This means that your metabolism will slow down because no nutrients are being consumed. By doing this you will force your body to consume muscle, then fat. When you do eat something it go straight to storage (fat) to keep your body working. The pound off muscle that you lost is replaced by fat, and you are now fatter than before at the same weight. Start your day with a healthy breakfast like fruit, an egg, or even a granola bar. This will keep your metabolism running and consuming fuel (fat). Eat a "little" less and get some exercise or start walking for a certain amount of time each day.

                  AND YES EAT SOMETHING

Answer 4

you can not starve yourself to lose weight.  of course you need to eat something..something low in carbs,fat and or calories.  you just need to eat less.  starving yourself causes more complications.   at least have some fruit,a banana is great or an orange,but you need to have something...

Answer 6

you don't need to starve yourself to lose wieght. infact sometimes, you need to eat more protein, to burn the fat!  

for a workable diet -

here is what my dietician suggests - follow a practical diet. start your meal with a soup or a huge salad. this fills u up. Make sure your plate has this ratio - 50 per cent veg, 25 per cent  carb. potatoes, corn and peas come in carbs category. 25  per cent protein.this will prevent cravings too.an occassional treat is OK. have a snack every three hours. fruit ,ideally berries, or soy nuts. just 2 tbsp of soya subsides hunger pangs. have a protein shake too, if you want. it will fight the fat and give you extra energy to exercise. switch from white rice and bread to brown. eat 900gms of veggies a day.Needless to say, NO soda, chips, cookies! Lose a kilo a week. that is  permanent loss.  pick an exercise regime you like.  

get a pedometer and  try to take 10,000 steps everyday.
