Starvation Diet

Many of us automatically assume that drastic calorie reduction is the ideal way to burn fat. It is centered on excess calories, among all else, so that may be one strategy.

America's population is growing fatter and fatter, including those of military age. Soldiers are taking desperate measures to meet the weight goals. Should they be revised?

Perhaps it is illogical to think that not eating will actually force your body to store more fat. The fact is, starving yourself is going to trigger your body to go into survival mode.

There is a reason why starvation diets are called "crash" diets. When you deny yourself of the nutrition your body needs to function, you will "crash", literally, from fatigue and weakness.
