Answer #1

Because when you starve yourself you send your body into starvation mode which in turn makes it store more fat when you start eating again. If you don’t start eating right then your body will continue to “live off itself” to stay alive. That is why you lose so much.

Answer #2

At first you gain weight, because your body goes into ‘survival mode’ and starts storing more fat. However, after a time you will begin to lose weight since your body isn’t getting the nutrients needed.

Answer #3

Well When You Go Back To Eating You Gain Like 7 Pounds In One Serving

Answer #4

When you starve yourself you do gain more weight - at first.
