Starvation Is A Bad Idea    Total Trim 11  Unless you're making a political statement, going on a hunger strike will not solve your weight problem. There is a popular belief that starvation will make you lose weight quickly. Unfortunately, it's not that simple.When the body senses starvation, it automatically reads this as a sign of stress. Under stress, the body automatically tries to deal with it. One way is to produce hormones to counteract the stress. A particular hormone is cortisol, which stimulates fat production.

Aside from this, your body will start to retain more water. Water retention will definitely add to your body weight, since the human body is composed mainly of water.Metabolism is the speed of how your body turns the food you eat into energy. It's important to note that people do not have the same rate of metabolism. They vary and the rate of metabolism affects how quickly or slowly a person gains weight.

Generally speaking, people with slow metabolisms tend to gain weight easily. On the other hand, those with fast metabolisms can eat a lot yet still do not get fat. This is why eating the same food as your friend and in the same amount doesn't necessarily lead you to having the same body she has.Your friend may be able to eat a whole box of pizza within a day and not worry about getting fat, while you eat a sandwich, and you seem to gain more than she does. This is probably due to metabolism.

If you want to lose weight and be healthy, eating plenty of fiber is essential.Foods generally contain two types of fiber- soluble and insoluble. Foods that are high in insoluble fiber include fruits like apples, nuts and seeds, and vegetables such as green beans, zucchini, cabbage, beets, carrots, cauliflower, and tomato. Most grains also contain insoluble fiber.
