Don't. Your body needs the resources it gets from the food. If you're attempting to lose weight, starving yourself isn't the way to go; it just means that whenever you have to eat something, your body is going to cling to it as much as possible. Evaluate your diet instead. Are you eating because you're hungry, or because it seems like the right thing to do? Eating socially, buying popcorn at movies, or grabbing a snack when you're watching TV are things that have become ingrained in us as "normal" behavior. Drink water and juice instead of soda, eat fresh fruit instead of sugary snacks, decrease your carbohydrate intake (breads) and increase the number of fresh fruits and vegetables you eat. Look at the number of calories you eat in a day and reduce it by ten to fifteen percent. And exercise! It doesn't have to be boring; jog or speed walk when you're walking someplace, dance to your favorite music, take the stairs instead of the elevator, and park at the back of the parking lot. The key to losing weight is to burn more calories than you take in, but starving yourself will only backfire on you. I've been doing exactly what I've put down, and I've lost twenty pounds in the last three months without even really trying.

Or, if you really want to starve yourself, then you need to drink coffee, either black or with skim milk, smoke..but only a few per day as to not ruin teeth or fingernails, walk as this is the only exercise you'll have energy for, drink water, throw away any white carbs in your house, throw away all junk food, stock up on fruit, diet pop, and yogurt, aim for 500 calories a day, take vitamins...

When you starve yourself you don't have protein in your body which can lead to can't get up or even pick up a pencil so i wouldn't do it and you will lose your body fat which is also bad for you
