-- Posted by benl007 at 4:21 pm on June 22, 2008 how long can you go without eating before your body digests its muscle? and how much weight can you loose by not eating and how fast? i want facts not lectures -- Posted by MXfreak at 4:21 pm on June 22, 2008 GOOGLE IT -- Posted by Syber 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... -- Posted by MusicX 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 -- Posted by SpM at 4:22 pm on June 22, 2008 Your metabolism crashes almost immediately. You'll lose more fat (though not necessarily more weight) by eating moderately reduced calories and exercising regularly. -- Posted by SpM 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... The body starts burning muscle long before fat runs out. The body's defense mechanism against starvation is to conserve fat and reduce muscle (which in turn reduces metabolic rate). And most people can survive much longer than three weeks with adequate water. -- Posted by sexytinkerbelle at 4:25 pm on June 22, 2008 why would u want to know -- Posted by LudovicoTechnique at 4:30 pm on June 22, 2008 Quote: from SpM at 4:22 pm on June 22, 2008 Your metabolism crashes almost immediately. 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. -- Posted by hitman2000 at 6:38 pm on June 22, 2008 I cant eat every morning i dont know why?...just coffe is ok.......
