Briefly, the human body response to starvation at a cellular level results in a reduced metabolic rate and a switching of 'food supply' for various cells. Glucose is a primary cellular food source used by all cells in the body. During starvation with no additional glucose available to the body, glycogen stores (glucose stores) are consumed and then the body turns to consuming fat stores and muscle tissue (protein) to fuel it's cells. This means fat and muscle tissue is broken down during starvation periods. In the past during long periods of starvation, the ability for the body to survive without food input for weeks was necessary for survival. Today, whilst starvation no doubt yields weight loss results, it comes at a price. During starvation muscle tissue is invariably lost as the body needs glucose to power the heart and brain cells, which rely almost exclusively on glucose (which cannot be liberated from the break down of fats). As the body loses muscle tissue, it also loses the ability to burn as much energy because muscles are a key energy user. The body also loses strength in general. It therefore is a hindrance to starve for modern weight loss objectives and a better option is high level of exercise with reduced calorific food intake. This will maintain muscle tissue and favour fat loss.

Most high school students choose not to be in sexual relationships. Choosing not to engage in sexual contact is called abstinenc
KIM [24]
As a true friend, I would never discourage someone else for wanting to explore a sexual route, but since still in high school I believe it is not worth it. I would ask my friend why he or she is having thoughts about this. Is it pressure of wanting to fit in? Or just simply curiosity? I would tell them to wait until they have found someone they love or have deep emotions for. Being in high school should be about finding your passions and hobbies. Focusing on yourself and not the need to please others. High school only comes for a short period, so live it while you can. Live your age. Abstinence is okay and it shouldn't be discourage. A personal choice in sex should never be discourage.
