Not eating enough = fat? +REP (Good posts)

Hey there, I started going to the gym ages ago, until in April this year I was diagnosed with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and was told to keep away from the gym until I get used to the spasms.

So I've got them under control and going next week. :)

What I want to know is, the first time I went the guy told me and my gym partner we're putting weight on because we don't eat ENOUGH so what we do eat, the body stores as fat so it can eat off of that...

Which I find weird so I just went to talk to my connexions adviser and it d.ced me (;l) so... is this even true?

I've googled it, can't find anything!

Thanks :) I'll +rep good posts

yer if u dont eat enough, i think u do get fatter, but its bad..

If the guy told you, then it must have some meaning behind it.

It makes sense, because people who want to lose weight don't starve themselves, they eat differently.

Yeah and I've noticed.. when I eat more my ""belly"" gets smaller, LOL?

Not eating at all will in the end make you lose ALOT of weight, and in the end, kill you. (Hence 1/5 anorexic's end up dead)


If you don't eat enough, well, it all depends on the person.
Some people lose weight, some gain.
It just depends on the person, really.

no breakfast = weight gain is what i hear >.>

Yeah, its really bad not to eat, makes you fatter if you dont eat.

Ok, thanks guys :)!

What happens is that if you don't eat then your metabolism slows down which means that when you do eat then you'l absorb more energy from it which will turn to fat.

i'm not sure if you'd get fatter but you'd probably get a bit big.
like you see world vision & those things?
maybe like that.
the bloated-looking belly, etc.
