So i have had no appetite for the past three days to which I didn't eat a single thing until I got to dizzy and ate for the sake of it just to stop the weakness but I'm still not Hungry and considering I'm trying to lose weight is this really a bad thing or can fasting actually be good and will weightloss results follow?

    How can you not be hungry AT ALL for half a week....

    I'm guessing it's either psychological and you are heading down disordered eating habits, or go to your doctor.

    Your body needs fuel...

    think of it this way. Your car has no gas.. do you think its going to go anywhere?

    Trolls are most active in the waxing gibbous phase.

    You got dizzy. This is your body's way of telling you that this is a bad idea. You should listen to your body, and possibly speak to someone about your lack of appetite and disordered ideas about weight loss.

    And I don't care if the OP is a troll, because you know some kid is lurking this thread and honestly believes this is a good idea.

    Please tell me you were sick with some stomach virus! How in the world can you not eat for 3 days?

    While weight loss will result from fasting, it is not advisable to fast for that purpose.

    I believe it's called anorexia, and generally it's a bad thing. If you are trying to use not eating to lose weight, I would consider consulting your doctor. You really don't want to do your body any unnecessary harm.

    Nothing wrong with fasting for a day here and there. Nobody is going to die or go into the mythical "starvation mode" by not eating for a day or two.
    However 3 + days straight may be taking the concept too far...

    But I was addressing the OP(an 18 year old) not some adult who wants to dabble in fasting.
