Who knows if it's true that stopping eating will cause weight loss?
my girlfriend is worried about her weight, and she thinks that if she stops eating alltogether and she just tries to live off water she will get slimmer, can someone tell me if this is true or not? or will it just make her ill? im very worried about her. Thanks.
Hers is the best solution if she wants to kill herself :) The human body needs nutrients to survive. Her suggestion is illogical. Okay she would theoretically lose weight. However if you stop eating altogether, your body goes into starvation mode, meaning that when she does finally eat again her body will just store it as fat because it thinks it must preserve every morsel. Not to mention the various health implications.
There is no secret to losing weight, it is extremely straight forward. You just need to consume less calories than your recommended daily calorie intake. So if for adults it was 2000 she should reduce it to 1700 by eating a little less. She would probably find that if she just stopped eating unhealthy snacks and sugary drinks completely, and was strict about it, she would start to lose weight. She could also reduce the portion size of her meals if they’re currently too big. Her idea is nonsensical though. Because it’s a short term approach. Presumably she wants to be slim for the rest of her life? So it would be more sensible to see eating healthily as a life style change, and make the changes permanent. The problem is (and I liek to have a rant, as you can see), is that kids these days want a short term solution to everything. To improve yourself it takes bloody hard work. Discipline, commitment. Her idea is extremely unhealthy, potentially dangerous, and extremely illogical to boot.
basically, if she stops eating she’ll get hungry and give in and eat :) haha but really, if she decides not to eat every time she -does- eat she’ll bloat and get bigger. You can’t -stop- her from not eating, but you can tell her how beautiful she is and that she doesn’t -need- to lose any weight. If she has to lose weight, then tell her to do it the smart way.
If You Stop Eating Altogether You Won’t Lose Any Weight For Quite A While This Is Because Your Body Is Deprived Of Energy And Will Hold Onto Fat Longer In Order For You To Survive So This Fat Now Becomes Stored Fat Which Is Really Hard 2 Get Rid Of I Don’t Think She Should Stop Eating But Maybe Stop Eating Certain Foods And Excersize More The Trick Is Eat Less Excersize More And Breakfast Is Most Important, Breakfast Like A King, Lunch Like A Prince And Dinner Like A Porper,
Just wanted to agree and throw in that I lost weight just by cutting out soda, some people sip on it daily without thinking about it because its a drink (thats what I did). also if I were you I would look up some signs for anorexia/bullimia and keep them in mind, issues like these often resurface. keep an eye on her and dont be afraid to confront her if you suspect shes having these problems or even tell a family member of hers if it persists. good luck
Tell your girl if she wants to lose weight and keep it off for longer then its very simple. 1 stop eating bad foods (takeaways,sugary food) 2 eat more healthy foods but in moderation (watch the portons) 3 excersie this can be anything she enjoys (swimming, walking doing sports.)
If she can keep this up it will not only be good for her but this is the sensible way to do it, If she does it her way she will die.
No, she won’t necessarily die. Seriously, guys..
What will likely happen is her metabolism will actually slow down, because her body will go into “starvation mode” and hang on to every bit of fat she has, and hold onto extra fat in food when she does actually break down and eat. The opposite of what she wants to happen, will happen.
Other things that will eventually happen: bone loss, hair loss, malnutrition, weakened immune system, osteoperosis, mood swings, and dry skin…sexy, huh?
I’d advise her to call the national eating disorder hotline, it’s free and anonymous to call: 800-931-2237.
No She Will Die From Not Eating ! Just Tell Her To Eat Less And Eat Healther And Excerise If She Wants To Loose Weight :)
She’ll die.
