A member asked:
Can you say if it could it be okay if i stop eating for a while and only drink water?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not eating at all is: Not okay as its unhealthy. Body needs regular food intake to be able to run its basic functions. So reducing intake in a well formatted fashion would be ideal, which can be done nicely by a dietician. Also check with your doc as well regularly, so any problems you might come across, be DX and properly sorted out. Good luck.
