Your body will eat your stores of fat and then if you still refuse to eat it could even eat your muscle. And yes you could pass out, and after a while you could die or become anorexic. Oh also your hair, skin and nails will probably become weak and in bad condition. This is really unhealthy and I suggest you should just eat a healthy balanced diet in order to stay a healthy weight and remain healthy inside too. Make sure you eat the right amount of calories and exercise too. Please don't just not eat even if you've 'lost interest'. :)



Not eating can have many negative side effects such as the ones that you named. You can also feel very tired and your immune system slows down leaving you more prone to infection because your body is no longer strong enough to fight off disease. If you don't feel like eating meals try eating healthy snacks through out the day to avoid slowing down your metabolism. Also make sure your taking vitamins so that you body doesn't miss out on nutrients that it needs.
