What happens when you starve yourself?

Asked by funadvice about 1 year ago, 15 answers.

I've heard a lot of people always starving themselves so that they can loose weight.
Why not go on a diet, and eat healthy.
but anyways.
what does happen to your body when you starve yourself?
and what happens if you do it for long periods, even days?

Hey,
I starved myself for a long time. I finally did start eating again after my friend force fed me and made me start eating again.
you asked why not go on a diet? its because its not a lifestyle choice...its a desease. I don't see myself like everyone else sees me. what I see in the miror isn't real. I see a bigger version of what I actaully am. When this happens you come to the conclution that the best (and fastest) way to lose weight is to simply not eat. At first it is tempting to eat but you still dont...After time, it becomes an addiction. I didn't care how miserable, or how hungry or dizzy I was...all I wanted to do was lose weight. It's something that after a while you lose control of what your doing and you cant stop starving yourself.

And you also wanted to know what happens to your body?
I had constant headaches, stomach pains and I would always pass out. I compleatly lost focuz in school and my brain started to slow down a lot. I was always depressed and I would cry 4-5 times a day. Its pure torture. and im so glad I recovered.

and yes it did have perminent affects on me aswell. I'm still depressed and I think I always will be. I still hate my body even though everyone else sais I am thin. and I am not as smart as I used to be
It changed my life forever.

your body needs the nutrienrts that you get from food that you eat so starving isn't good. when you starve yourself your body has nothing to work with so it starts to use the fat that you're ody has and after that it goes on to your organs, have you ever seen those kids on tv that live in Africa and those poor countries and how their stomach is all bloated. well that's what happens because your body has nothing else to work with but the organs of your body.

I tried to starve myself. I mean its pretty hard. try to eat less, and little by little your stomach will
get used to eating less. if you do this for about a week; on the second week your body wont need food!
I mean if you want to lose weight it really works to get in shape!

OKAY!!! I starved myself and on top of that I am a runner!! so I was very very thin. yes everyday is a battle but eating is a lot better than not eating at all! Eat healthy. Try eating fruit and veggie and yes lean mean. Work out as well and you will see results and you will no gain the weight back! I am losing my hair bc of what I have done and I am very upset by this outcome. So be smart. Have the will power to tell yourself I CAN DO THIS THE RIGHT WAY. Eat in moderation and work out and you will see the benefits! Trust me, I may not be a doctor, but I am experiencening this. Starving is not an answer or a quick fix.

if you starve yourself your body isnt getting the nutrition it needs and your body starts eating away your muscles and organs. soon your organs will be to weak to support you and you will die

you go into starvation mode...then your body will shut down sad not good and you could die.

Dont Starve yuorself it really isn't an answer. Once you start down this road you could become too goos at it. I am 40 and worried to read all your posts. Please belive me just eat...excercise and enjoy. Life is for living not for starving. There is so much to enjoy out there. Dont dig yourself a hole, and isolat yourself. Go round to a friends leave your worries and soon they will loose you.
