I would not stop eating. I would go on a good diet and try to lose the weight. Not eating can lead to anerixia. Anerexia is not a good thing. It can cause major health problems. When you are anerxic you basically starve yourself to death. You become so skinny and fragile. Then you become way under weight. Sometimes your kidneys and everything can start to shut down. Anexreica is hard to come back out of. It becomes your obsession after awhile. You start to calorie count everything. Food when you look at becomes gross to look at. You basically tell yourself you don't want it. That why I would not just stop eating. It's really bad for your health. Also when you start eating you gain it back fast.

Stop eating is not a good way. I make sure the right things to eat, the right way to cook, and what eaten be well igested. Last week, I had digestion problem, but with a few days' supplements, my tongue comes back to pink.

No that is very unwise, in the end you actually put more weight on and it is dangerous. And if it gets really severe you can become anorexic. In fact most health experts tell you to eat more meals per day, smaller potions but 5-8 meals per day and drink lots of water. Stop drinking sodas and juices.

I could diet, do 100 crunches a day, and torture myself, but why? I eat what I want and still enjoy an hourglass figure. I wear a size 10, but when I go to fancy places, I want to wear cute little black dresses, so I put on my garment and .... BOOM .... I IMMEDIATELY look awesome in my size 6 black dress. :)

If I am overweight, I will simply control my food intake and do some exercise. From what I understand also, stopping the intake of food will surely do more harm than good. We must remember that food supplies energy and it contains nutrients for the effective function of our body and our organs as well. Depriving our body with such in a very sudden manner will surely create health problems. So I would basically do it in a slow manner. As what people say, one step at a time.

What do you mean if? I have tried to stop eating and it only makes me more ravenous. I am now trying to make healthier choices and see if that works.

There is no need to stop eating. You can eat, but take a little bit lesser than as you take in normal days. Don't do the work at one place only, it means, don't sit at only one place. Walk to another place more times a day. If you are talking in cell phone, don't sit and talk, just walk and talk. Don't use vehicles for near distance, do some walking by creating some avagations. By doing this type of work for 15-20 days, you will definitely get slim.

Nope. Not at all. I was 5 Kgs over weight once and my dietician asked me to stop eating oily and fatty food. But I was unable to resist my tongue and instead of Dieting I started exercising regularly and now I have shed more than 10 kgs in 2.5 months and now I feel slim and chik. Hence I cannot control my tongue and at any cost I wont stop eating.

How can you stop eating to be alive?
Because now I think myself already over weighted so I have the right to say what will I do or what I did. Now I changed my lifestyle a lot for losing weight. I tried to be more vegetarian. At least two days per week I will have totally vegetarian meals. I also tried not have beef too often. I tried to have fish instead of read meats.
I also tried to walk at least one hour per day. I mean it’s quick walking so it can help me losing weight. So I agree with what you said. Just for a change of lifestyle at not long last you will keep fit.
Happy Mylotting.

I feel that I am overweight. I think that not eating at all would pose much problems. The best that I have done so far was to cut down on eating too much, a little at a time is ok. One has to be conscious in what one is eating. It is easy to gain those weight and harder to lose them.

It sounds quite extreme! Eating supposes to be a natural thing to our body. It would be very sad if eating becomes a burden to our life.
I very much doubt if I will be overweight one day. Considering the amount of food I eat everyday, I am still 10 kg under my standard weight. I enjoy eating and I am capable of manage my eating habit. It will take million tons of food to make me overweight first. :P

I used to stop eating when I gained wieght when I was younger. I felt fine. I cannot do that anymore though. It makes me sick and gives me a headache. I am trying to eat better now and exercise to lose the weight.

I wouldn't be able to stop eating even if I wanted to. I'll probably exercise more rather than not eat. Anorexia is a serious illness. People shouldn't starve themselves just to look prettier. Weight should be an issue of health not looks.

no i would not. it will probably do more damage to one's body. when you stop eating, your body goes to 'starving mode' i call it, it takes in what you eat, digests everything, (on a normal day, your body digests stuff it only needs, and a certain amount of fat only) but on a starving mode, your body takes and stores everything. then when there is no more food for energy, it doesn't use the fat that you already have in your body. no, because its 'starving mode' you body instead starts using muscle fat. and this damages your body more. so no, stop eating is not the way to go.

If I were overweight I really don't think that I would stop eating. To be honest, Id probably be smoking LOL, because of the stress of being overweight. But, I'd at least lose some weight because I'd be smoking instead of eating lmao, bad yeah, but that's me lol. I think overweight people tend to lose motivation and look at the world in a pessimistic light, instead of being optimistic and get that urge to exercise and eat alot healthier, or see a doctor about nutrional information. Around here, doctors are always giving out information like that for people, it's pretty nice.

America is so obese! I swear, I have watched the movie Super Size me like 3 times and it always disgusts me when I watch it but then it is so interesting. If I were overweight, I just have to control myself. None of those total diet stuff. Just stop eating that much, eat the gym, gain some muscles, play a sport, etc. Im a very athletic guy because I play a lot of sports so if I'm overweight, it would just motivate me harder to be the best on my sports team or try and make the team. It depends for others but if I were fat, it would just motivate me to get fit and keep playing basketball or tennis.
