Answers:
Yes you would get sick, probably start fainting from low blood sugar, your metabolism would slow down to a crawl to protect the body!. Afterwards you would gain again if you started eating normally!. Your hormone levels would go out of whack, you would have no energy and probably end up in the hospital!.

While the human body can go for a time without food, water is super important!. Our bodies are used to lots of food, so you are playing with fire and you will get burned!.

Well, people do fast for more than five days at a time, but it is really not good for your health!. Your metabolism goes whacko and then, yes, when they start eating again, their body is not used to the food and it thinks it is going to starve again, so it holds onto the food!. Instead of losing weight, they will gain weight when they start eating again, and their metabolism will be lowered by the starvation mode!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This is called fasting!. As long as you drink water and you were familiar with fasting it wouldn't hurt you!. You would have to slowly incorporate food back into your diet!. You couldn't go out and eat a big meal!. Start out with fruit and broth and such!. You would definately lose weight!. But you would gain it back eventually, especially if you went back to old eating habits!. Only people who are professionals in fasting should fast for this long!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's really unhealthy!. The person could be very weak and might even need to be hospitalized for not getting vitamins or nutrients!. You would probably gain it back and more because after not eating for 5 days, you'll be hungry! I wouldn't advise it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

your body is in starvation mode, so once you do eat your body will hold on to every morsle of food!. after starving, you end up weighing more once you eat normally again!. i was 124 pounds and i basically starved myself to 120!. now i eat healthy and i weigh 135!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

they would get very sick when they ate food!. and they would actually gain weight because when your body doesnt get food for a while it shuts down and goes into survival mode and holds on to every little bit of food it has and doesnt digest it as fast!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They would BE sick and they would gain it back if they started eating!.!. its muscle that will be lost, not fat, it is not going to make them look better!.!. Probably worse, and sick!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
