A member asked:

How can i prevent my body to consume muscles instead the fat when i get starving ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stop starving: There is no medical value in starvation, and it is potentially dangerous. Learn to eat a restricted, but well-balanced diet plus daily exercise -- you need a diet and exercise program you can live with for the rest of your life.
