Basically:

The first day u would lose a bit of weight, then the next day your body would go into shock and store as much as possible including by-products of food which can be harmful to you

Also you would lose quite a bit of weight.. but it would be muscle.. cuz your body literally wastes away it uses tissue energy from your muscle and you would become weaker..


so you wouldnt lose anything more after that first day and then your stomach would cramp off and the next time u ate something you would either put it al into fat or puke it up..

it happened to me and i had to be fed through a tube.. its not nice i dont advice it

nothing positive comes out of it

Worried me slightly tbh, but tyvm for the post much appreciated

oh, and also, if you wanna lose weight, taking smaller bites and chewing helps. ;)

don't just gobble the food up, savour it and taste it. :P

=) i also just found the great site, really detailed

http://www.wegmans.com/eatWellLiveWe...rolArticle.asp

Other pages on there are v useful too

told you!

Pasta is a low-fat food, with only about 90 calories per half-cup serving (1/2 tennis ball). But a typical serving of pasta is about three cups, or a total of 540 calories. And that’s before we add sauce, cheese, bread, and other extras that make pasta so popular.
Salad is an excellent low-calorie option—raw vegetables are crunchy, nutritious, and filling. Salad dressing adds about 120 calories per two-tablespoon serving (size-wise, think two thumbs). A standard restaurant serving of salad dressing is about one-quarter cup, which adds a quick 240 calories to our “low-cal” salad.

:P

Well, if you don't eat for 5 days your stomach acids will build up, as they're generally "designed" to work on the solids you consume, and rely on you to feed your stomach so that it keeps your metabolism at it's normal balance, and so forth. If acid builds up in your stomach it can cause acid stomach, persistant nausea, headaches, light headedness, fatigue, and so on.

Also since it will be a "shock" to your normal diet, your stomach will more than likely shrink and you won't be able to consume a great deal without feeling bloated, sick or just fed-up. You're best eating little and often, whilst exercising - but don't do too much at once, build yourself up until your body's used to it.

Hmm i might try cycling/walking to sainsburys and buying a healthy sandiwch or baguette - are sandiwchs/baguettes healthy :S say it was a tuna and cucumber/sweetcorn one

This is the problem i know basics of healthy/unhealthy foods but i dont know details on how much calories are in what etc

Edit - Ty to above post, much appreciated

Sandwiches and baguettes are healthy, aslong as they are the right type. Tuna and cucumber/sweetcorn is definiently healthy because tuna is fish, that's healthy for you, and cucumber is a salad. Sweetcorn is okay, I hate it though, lol. :P
