I'm not a nutritionist, but when people starve themselves in an attempt to lose weight, they end up gaining weight because your body will go into "starvation mode" and will begin storing all carbohydrates as fat. After a while, however, your body will begin to consume itself and you'll lose weight in the long run, but in the early stages you do tend to gain a few pounds.
Well, somehow not eating does contribute to weight gain. It has happened to me before, albeit I only gained a few pounds.
I'm dying. Oh my God. That's just not how it works at all.yep this is pretty much it thats why ppl recovering from anorexia and bulimia actually lose weight when they start a proper diet again
you also lose weight in muscle when you starve yourself so that contributes to why you might gain weight after eating properly again
The struggle of obese ants.My BMI is 5 trillion
please tell me the thing where you starve yourself makes you gain weight thing isnt true
It's a dumb myth people made up to feel better about their secret eating.please tell me the thing where you starve yourself makes you gain weight thing isnt true

Good for you?
It's a myth. There's a lot proving how wrong "starvation mode" is. It was made up by larger people on diets. The point is, it's impossible to gain weight on a very low calorie diet. Regardless of carbs. The only way you would gain weight is by eating more, and a ton of evidence shows we severely underreport how much we eat.
I don't understand how anyone could believe it. How could you possibly gain weight on a low calorie diet.
There are fat people who underestimate their calorie intake and blame it on 'muh genetics'
There are skinny people who overestimate their calorie intake, and therefore making FAs question how 'you can believe a skinny person is eating a lot but stays skinny, but you can't believe how I eat so little and gain weight!'
