without food your body has no way of getting fuel for everyday energy - your body begins to shut itself down - only allowing the bare minimum energy to be released for movement etc!. brain functions also slow down - this leaves you like a zombie - tired and run down!.!.!.!.
your body begins to break down muscle tissue for fuel - which slows your metabolism down meaning you wont use up your stored calories so quickly!.
minerals and vitamins needed to keep your body healthy run out - your skin becomes grey and your lips may begin to crack - your hair becomes dry and may even start to fall out!. your eyesight can deteriorate (which is permanent damage) and your body organs start to shut down
so you look like death - you cant be bothered to move and then!.!.!.!.

Many do not know and are afraid!. But people can go about a month drinking only pure water and not eating anything!. A fat guy was fasted for 7 months and died!. So 7 months is too long!. Dr Fuhrman (MD) does not fast anyone longer than 50 days!. See site below for more on this!. Jesus and Moses fasted for 40 days!. Site below has quotes from 18 MDs on fasting!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Don't go on a starvation diet to lose weight!. Don't binge and purge!. Eat healthy, small portions, healthy snacks, drink water and no sodas, floats, milk shakes, anything other than water, unless your doctor tells you too!. Do what he says!.
