Answers:
you COULD starve to death, or become morbidly obese!. There is far too much missing information for even a guess!.


obviously reading through many of the questions on Yahoo answers this is a recurring theme!. Unfortunately the way our brain is wired we are continuously seeking out food even when food is plentiful and we have adequate fat/ fuel reserves!. There is no quick fix or magic trick to deal with weight loss!. Ultimately we are governed by certain physics principles!. Fat is a substance whose principal design/use is for the storage of energy in a compact and dense form!. The amount of energy contained in fat is 3500 calories per pound!. The rules regarding weight loss and fat consumption are virtually identical to the "rules" regarding fuel mileage and vehicle weight in cars!. If you have a car that gets 10 mpg,and you accurately weigh this car before a trip and you get a figure of 2000 pounds!. You drive the car 200 miles and you know that it gets 10 mpg exactly, in addition you had a fuel flow meter on the car for those 200 miles and sure enough you burned 20 gallons of gasoline over the 200 miles!. If gasoline weighs 6!.5 pounds per gallon you should be able to predict that the final weight of the car after 200 miles will be 2000-(20X 6!.5) or 1870 pounds!. If you stopped halfway through the trip and pumped in 10 gallons then you will end up with the car weighing 1930 pounds net!.
The reason for this illustration is that the human body obeys similar rules!. If you take the amount of calories that you take in during a period of time, say a week!. From that figure you subtract the calories that you burned with your basal metabolic rate for the same period of time (a basal metabolic rate calculator can easily be found through Yahoo or Google) and this figure needs to be added to the extra calorie expenditures you made with exercise such as walking, running, swimming etc!. When you take the calories taken in, and subtract the calories expended divide that figure by 3500 and you will have the amount of weight that you gained (if the number is positive), or the weight that you lost (if the number is negative)!. One thing for certain it will be exceptionally uncomfortable!. Your body does not like having to tap into its reserves and as a result you will get hunger pains and all of the other things that can occur when you are running at a calorie deficit (bad breath, unusual smelling urine,) you will no doubt hear a lot about metabolism boosters and fat burners!. The only problem is that they don't exist!. The people who sell these products work on a simple premise; people who want to lose weight are desperate and will try almost anything regardless of how absurd it claims may be!. Unfortunately telling people that something is going to be uncomfortable and require large amounts of self-discipline doesn't sell well even if it is true!. It's still much easier to sell a product by advertising that you can eat whatever you want, and you don't have to exercise, and the pounds will just melt away! And in America at least, you don't need to prove that claim in order to be able to sell your product!. You may need to prove that product is at least not lethal when used as directed!.
Try to keep in mind that this is not about "watching" what you eat, this is about fuel management and counting/measuring the amount of fuel you are taking in in calories and keeping track of it!. Likewise you have to be equally diligent regarding how many calories you are burning through exercise, and basal metabolic rate!. Realize that exercise has a dual benefit in weight loss!. You burn calories actually doing the exercise, but you also build muscle mass which then consumes calories 24/7 even if you aren't actively exercising!. The unfortunate side effect of this is that in the early stages of an exercise program you build muscle mass which has a weight and as a result it can appear as though your weight is going up rather than down and that type of frustration can often make someone stop an exercise/dietary management plan!.
In conclusion, grab yourself a notebook, a small calculator, look up your basal metabolic rate on line, consider picking up a small paperback book which contains the caloric values of many foods (I have seen these any checkout aisle at the supermarket but are also likely available at a bookstore or on line!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
