If weight loss is all about reducing calories and exercising, why not starve yourself?

Everyone seems to say the same thing about weight loss; reduce calories, exercise more. Then why not starve yourself? Then there is NO calories. Wouldn’t that make the most sense? Wouldn’t the body use up its fat reserves quicker?

Weight loss?!?

I’m 14, I’ve been eating less than half of the reccomended calories every day (today only 11% so far,) i’ve been running a mile every other day, yet i haven’t seen a difference in my appearance or weight at all. I’ve been at it for a week. I know that this isn’t exactly healthy, but I NEED to lose weight in two weeks. Besides making myself throw up or diet pills (not interested!) what weight loss methods work the fastest? I’m up for anything!
and, no i’m not obese. i just want to lose like 3 lbs

Weight Loss???

I really need some tips on loosing weight. I do weigh a lot for my height, but I dont look like I weight what I do. Still, I would like to loose about 20 lbs for now. I’m wondering if anyone could give me some good weight loss tips. I dont believe in dieting, but rather realistic lifestyle changes. Like eating healthier without depriving myself and still being about to eat the things I like in moderation. Is there a certain number of calories to consume in a day? I also would like some exercise ideas I could do at home. I hate the gym and with school I dont have time to go to one or the money. Any tips would be great…thanks.

When will the scale start to show your weight loss?

My sister is on a VLCD looking to lose weight and she’s been on it for 3 days now, eating between 550 and 750 calories a day. And she’s freaking out because her weight loss isn’t showing on the scale, but she feel like she’s lost weight… I don’t think she LOOKS like she’s lost any weight, but I may be wrong.

How does temperature affect the burning of calories and weight loss?

Some people assume that exercising in a hot environment causes you to burn more calories and loss more weight, but it seems to me that would just be water weight lost through sweating. However, if you exercise in colder temperatures, wouldn’t that cause you to burn more calories, as your body must work harder to maintain our relatively high body temperatures?

How big is the weight loss difference between eating less calories and eating "healthier" calories?

In other words, if you’re on, say, a 1400-calorie-a-day diet and excersizing regularly, how much of a difference in your weight loss will you see if you eat 1400 calories of McDonalds every day vs. 1400 calories of whole wheat toast and tofu?
