You really need to learn how your body works.
If you don't eat enough in a given day, your body enters what is called "starvation mode" -- the first part of this is where your body immediately begins storing everything it can as fat. In other words, you get bigger.
Your body then starts burning muscle to fuel itself, saving the fat stores for last -- for emergency fuel. Chemical reactions in your body go haywire (as alwaysmoose points out, you'll smell pretty bad thanks to your liver causing ketosis in an attempt to sustain yourself). You can develop psychological and personality abnormalities.
Not eating is NOT a form of dieting, it's an eating disorder and to consider doing it makes you an idiot.
Follow traditional, proven methods of fixing your diet and exercising instead of looking for half-measures and shortcuts.
Oh yeah, but no one will want to get near you if you reek of ketones.
umm...i think you would probably faint and your body would shut down if you did that. and no...i dont think even if you did that, you'd lose 20 pounds...maybe 10
no, i thought that too for a while... you will lose weight, but u will gain all of it back...
prolly not, u'll prolly die... y dont u try eating small portions instead and maybe running in the evenings a mile or 2...
no you will just shrivel up and die. do u really think u can starve urself 4 that long? that is just so stupid. yeah i know u think thats the fasted way to lose weight but its not and if u continue down that path u will surely die. just take it one day at a time. just exercise and no junkfood and eat small portions and you will be fine.
yep! sure can! And pass out from malnutrition!

if you don't eat for two weeks you will get very sick....you must eat just do not eat junk, and don't over eat its that simple. but not eating will not do you any good, in fact it might lead you to binge eating which is a cycle of fasting and binging and that can actually make you gain weight
sure and you'll drop dead
Don't count on it. You will be long dead before the two weeks is over
well...yea but u will die.
try becoming a vegetarian. the celebs do that. eat lots of salad and u can lose 14 pds in 3 weeks! =]] it worx 4 me and the guyz fall all ova me lol
ya, but you can also die in the process to, it would be stupid to do, and you would only lose muscle anyway
That is the absolute worst way to lose weight. You can destroy your body and health if you do that. Drink lots of water. It will supress your appetite and also stimulate your metabolism. Exercise. Eat lots of apples and foods with natural fibers to help cleanse your system. Be very intelligent in your food choices, but losing more than about 2-4lbs a week is very unhealthy no matter how you do it unless you are extremely obese than you can lose more without it being a major health risk. However, if you just want to lose 20lbs and not 200 lbs, you're not obese. Don't starve yourself. Your health is more important than a dress size.
No, It's very very unhealthy for you. It will effect you in the long run. Just eat a balance set diet. Exercise for about 30 min every other day or so. It can also effect you mentally. So please do eat!
