What's the longest you've gone without eating ?

[Joshua_me]

Myself, I'm on day three.....

Only because I have a tooth ache and the slacks I wore last Xmas are now
suddenly a little tight....

I know, I know....It's not healthy.

But, it's an end to a means, and all of that.

The holidays are looming, and I'm not about to look like a 'porker'
in all the inevitable photos....

Thoughts ?

When I was younger, I often went weeks with hardly any food. It wasn't intentional, though. My illness causes nausea and abnormal taste sensations. It also didn't make me feel any better.

Not only is it not healthy, it's not burning fat either.

When you starve yourself like that, your body kicks into a starvation mode and holds on to fat. You instead burn lean muscle for energy, so you will lose weight, but it's not going to improve your appearance.

Eat very small meals frequently throughout the day if you're wanting those jeans to fit better. Keep your metabolism going to burn fat, otherwise you're just doing yourself more harm.

A couple of times the middle of the day.But usually,I've got to be munching on something every couple of hours.Habit,I guess.

three days seems to be a cap, and that would only be if I'm extremely busy for a while. But remember, not eating actually causes you to gain weight in the long run.

When you deprive your body of food, it holds back more of it when you do eat. It's best to be on a regular diet than to starve yourself.

I do it alot too...don't ask why I do.

First of all, elvin 'a lot' is TWO words.

But, aside from that.... You have a PERFECT body.... Why in the
world would you feel the need to diet ?

9 days. And without sleep. But I did make sure I had vitamins and water. So I guess I wasn't completely without nourishment.

Yeah, I know you're right, rotary....

Ya gotta eat to loose weight, oddly enough.

But, it's just my 'default setting', as it were.....

Dress slacks too tight ? Quit eating.

It sort of works for me.... I'll eat something by Friday or so....
