text: Starvation dieting always works in the short term. Unless you are only trying to lose weight for an occasion ( like fitting into your wedding dress..) the weight will come back on and probably MORE than you actually will lose. Our bodies will begin to store all foods eaten as a stored fat because of the month long starvation. You'd be better eating 3 meals in smaller portions and only drinking 8 glasses of water if you wanna lose quick and KEEP it off.
