O my gosh! Dont become anorixic. At my church we had the choice of doing a 30 hour famine {to raise money for people in the world who are dying of starvation) so i did just to see what it was like. In those 30 hours of which i fasted, i had the worse body pains. Not only did my stomach hurt, but my head and muscels. We did some community service and we lifted some heavy stuff. I didnt have the strength i usally do when i ate food. And it was a lot harder. So pasically what im trying to tell you is that not eating food is very bad for your body,(and it hurts!) And if your going to lose wieght,why do it the painfull way when you can do it healthy? All that i know is that not eating hurts and its stupid. So you deside whats more apealing to you.

You are right! Starving yourself will not make you healthier! It will make you very unhgealthy. sure you'll lose some wiehgt but once you start eating normally again, youll gain it bakc and then some. So starving yourself almost always leads to gaining weight! DO NOt do it! It is Really bad 4 u! Just eat healthy and exercise. Try a treadmill, try tae-bo. try everything,but dont starve yourself. hope i helped sum .:)

i know what you mean. in the mornings on school days i usually just eat a bowl of cereal and that keeps me very full till 30 min to lunch at school. i start feeling really really bad pains in my stomache. once i had to eat early because the pain was so unbareable. i wouldn't last a day if i starved myself. wich i don't plan on doing and neither should any one eles

I agree don't starve your self, but in the case of fasting for your religion, I disagree. I did a similar thing and when I kept my mind on Jesus I did not get hungry at all! I think if you don't think about lossing weight but think about your religion, how great your God is, if that is why you are fasting you will be ok. Well, thats my two cents.
