Question

Let's say I'm a 16 year old, 110 pounds, How bad could it be if i don'tt eat for about 3 days?

Answer 1

There are ways of fasting however I would read up on it beforehand. You don’t want to make yourself pass out or anything. Plus, there are healthier ways to lose weight.

HOWEVER YOU DO NOT WANT TO DEVELOPER AN EATING DISORDER SO PLEASE CONSULT A PARENT, TRUSTED ADULT OR DOCTOR BEFORE ANYTHING!

Your body can be subject to starvation after a day or two without food or water. At that time, the body starts functioning differently to reduce the amount of energy it burns. Eventually, starvation leads to death. There is no hard and fast “rule of thumb” for how long you can live without food.

Answer 2

Consult a doctor or professional before fasting.

Most people can go 3 days without eating without any problem. You didn’t say how tall you are and that’s a huge factor. BMI is really what matters. If you are under weight as it is, I really wouldn’t suggest a fast. But if you do, like I said, consult with a professional cause there’s more that goes into it than “16 year old, 110 pounds”. And stay hydrated and don’t eat a lot right after or before, something called refeeding can happen and is potentially fatal.
