You'll lose more fat (though not necessarily more weight) by eating moderately reduced calories and exercising regularly. QFT, after your metabolism crashes and you start eating again your body will store almost everything you eat as fat. So in the long run you don't really accomplish anything. sexytinkerbelle Posted at 4:25 pm on June 22, 2008 why would u want to know SpM Posted at 4:24 pm on June 22, 2008 Quote: from Syber at 12:21 am on June 23, 2008 after about 1 1/2 weeks, it uses all its fat storage, 2 weeks all muscle is being eaten. 3 weeks your pretty close to death...

MusicX Posted at 4:22 pm on June 22, 2008 you can't lose weight by not eating you gain the weight back (plus more) when u start eating again so really there's no point Syber Posted at 4:21 pm on June 22, 2008 after about 1 1/2 weeks, it uses all its fat storage, 2 weeks all muscle is being eaten. 3 weeks your pretty close to death...
