Ironic Situation

Okay,so how is eatinq nothinq and exercisinq not helpinq you lose weiqht.? I mean, it’s IRONIC if you eat say 600 cals, work that off. it’d be like you ate nothinq at all. so why can’t you just eat nothinq at all,exercise, and lose weiqht.? and if you’re sayinq that your body needs the food to burn off those calories you just ate, there has to be more calories in your system from previous times that you ate that are just lyinq around. !! I don’t know. I’ve just been wonderinq about that. and NO, I’m not qoinq to do it. this is for all the people that continuously ask about it.

Answer #1

its just commonsense really your body needs food, it needs to store the nutrients and such from food, not just burn them off if you dont eat anything, your body has nothing to run on food is fuel without food theres nothing for it to run on…so you wont loose weight youll loose fat (that you actually need) and muscle if you dont eat you become weaker, not skinnier as you see it its simple really

Answer #2

Your body will go into “starvation mode’ as a form of protection because it is aware it is not getting enough calories to sustain which means it will drastically slow down how fast it expends energy.

For example, a 125lb person needs to each 1875 calories a day just to SUSTAIN that weight. It takes a 3500 calorie deficit to burn one pound. So, in order to trick that body, the 125 person could eat 1600 calories a day and burn an extra 200 for a deficit of 475 calories a day (475 into 3500 = 1 lb lost in 7 days!).

Weight loss takes time and it all comes down to math. How much goes in vs how much is burned all done while your body thinks it is not starving.

Answer #3

You could do that but unforchunatly you will burn muscle as well as fat if you dont eat for long.
