NO, decreases HGH!: No, starving can only decrease HGH levels. See http://www.thebodywellusa.com/blog/dr-mike-carraghers-top-10-ways-to-increase-your-human-growth-hormone-hgh-levels-naturally/ for 10 good suggestions on how to best increase HGH levels- these involve good nutrition, exercise and adequate rest. Starving can only reduce one's growth.
