Question

Can one lose lbs in three months if they eat under ten cals a day?

Answer

Starving will turn the body into a fat storage machine, a person loses mostly water weight and the lean tissue the body will strip to access nutrition. The body wont release fat stores if calories are lowered below what it needs. It will slow the metabolism to compensate and store every spare ounce as fat. If a person continues lowering their calories, it will continue lowering that set point, til one can survive off nothing and store fat on anything. The body will only release its fat stores if it knows there is plenty of food available not just calorically high food, but nutritionally high food.brbrI would suggest you dramatically increase, well above your needs, food intake with low carb foods. It will take your body awhile to access the fat stores depending how long youve been in starvation mode, but you shouldnt gain weight, other than water weight and the lean tissue your body has had to strip to access nutrition. If you are young enough and do this, you may be able to repair the damage to your metabolism before it becomes permanent.brbrMetabolism is controlled by nutrition. You cant eat calories of vegetables amp fruit pick a number, it doesnt matter only the amount of fat stored changes, your body will treat it as being starved which it is, starved of nutrition and will shut down your metabolism as if youre eating nothing, but will store every possible ounce as fat. Inversely, you wont gain weight on or more calories of fat amp protein if fat is of calories because insulin the fat storage hormone is not activated.brbrHigh fat, adequate protein and very low carbs will after days convert your body to burning fat as fuel ketosis. While in ketosis you will burn dietary fat and if dietary fat is more than sufficient, body fat directly. High calories will keep the metabolism at maximum fat burning capabilities.brbrYour body requires fats, you will die without them. Your body requires protein, you will die without them. You will die if you eat protein without fat. You do not require carbohydrates. The body can manufacture all it needs from the proteinfat combination.brbrYou will lose more body fat eating protein and fat dont eat protein alone than not eating AT ALL. To lose weight fast eat all you want but nothing but meat, eggs, healthy oils, mayo, butter and half an avocado a day youll need added potassium. Keep the calories high and the fat percentage high, at least of calories. Adding in green vegetables amp some cheese will continue weight loss but at a slower pace.brbrIf you starve yourself by lowering calories lower than are needed for the body to function, your body will freak out and will want to store every ounce in case it doesnt get nourished again. You need to give it adequate nourishment so it doesnt slow your metabolism down to adjust for lower calories.brbrSimple carbohydrates sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice triggers insulin which can store the calories you eat into fat. The more protein you eat the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate you eat the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released.brbrHigh insulin levels unbalance other hormones. Controlling your insulin level will balance out other hormones amp allow human growth hormone HGH to be produced naturally so you will gain lean muscle even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase your muscle mass with high HGH levels.brbrOnce you get near your goal, you start adding carbs every days til you gain weight, then you subtract carbs. That would give you your personal carb level everyone is different and it depends on how active you are. As long as you remain lt carbs per hour, you will maintain insulin control, and shouldnt gain weight no matter the calories.
