A member asked:
Will not eating for about three days mess with my digestive system or make me constipated?

Most Probably: It is not medically safe to starve yourself. Nutrition and exercise are a very important part of a safe weight loss regimen. It is not only about consuming the right amount of calories but also consuming the right foods as well. Lack of water will lead to dehydration and constipation. Discuss your weight loss regimen with your doctor.
