How Much Weight Can You Lose by Not Eating?

Yes, you can lose weight by not eating. The problem is that you won't be losing the right pounds and you'll be sacrificing your future weight management success by burning fewer calories around the clock.

If what you want is to lose weight, look good, and feel good while you do it then simply cut back 500 calories per day and exercise and you'll lose a pound a week. One pound of fat = 3,500 calories which is 500 calories x 7 days. Chips and soda together make about 250-350 calories. Throw in 20 to 30 minutes of walking, jogging or doing stairs and you're golden. Your morning coffee may even have 500 calories in it after all the syrup and heavy cream is added. Just find one or two things to sub out for low cal versions. How about swapping coffee, juice, and soda for water for a few weeks? That's a quick and easy way to trim off fat that's much easier and more pleasant than attempting to starve yourself skinny.
