Going without food for several days, or being on a diet with too few calories (below 1300 for men and 1000 for women), causes a starvation response within your body. When you decrease your dietary calories below the minimum level, your body's metabolic rate slows down, and the foods you do consume are utilized even more slowly. Any major stressor ( such as lack of food, dehydration, or extreme heat or cold ) causes your body to think something is wrong. As a result, it can actually start "preserving" body fat at the expense of your muscles.
So, the productive way to lose fat is to NOT STARVE yourself !! Efficient fat lose requires a gradual lowering of your dietary calories in tandem with good exercise !! Burn more calories than you eat - simple right !!
