What happens when you stop eating?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
48-72 hrs after starvation your body enters the state called ketosis in which breakdown of muscle occurs for glucose. This means your body is literally breaking itself for food

I'm trying to figure out how to gain 15 kg in just 2 months. I'm kind of worried because I'm not sure where to start or what's safe to do. Could you give me some tips or advice on how to make this happen? I'm eager to see some results and any help would be really appreciated!
Gaining 15 kg in 2 months is extremely challenging and potentially unhealthy, aiming for a more realistic goal of 0.5-1 kg weight gain per week, here are few tips to increase your weight 1)Include Calories In Your Diet- Everything we eat has some calorie content. So like we eat food with fewer calories to lose weight, we need to eat food that has more calories to gain weight. You need to take in more than 250 calories daily to add roughly half a kilo to your current weight. 2. Increase The Number Of Meals- Have six meals in a day three big meals and three small. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner should be heavy and calorie-rich. A heavy dinner adds weight to your body as your metabolism is not as active when you sleep as compared to when you are awake. 3. High Proteins Along With Calories- Only calories wont add to your body weight,include the right amount of proteins to your diet. Remember, if you want to put on weight and look fit, you need to build muscles not flab. Eat - Eggs, lean meat, fish, pulses, sprouts, and dairy products that rich sources of proteins. Fish such as tuna and mackerel are rich in oil and are one of the best ways to increase weight. 4. Weight Gain Supplements- Another way to go about this is by including some additional supplements in your diet. In some cases, just the diet and exercise may not bring results as quickly as you expect. Whey protein is an increasingly popular supplement that you can add to your milk or smoothies. 5. Workout To Gain Weight- Sometimes, gaining weight isnt just about adding a few pounds but it is also about building muscles. The best way to go about this is to start working out. Developing your lean muscles as opposed to fat deposits not only makes you stronger but it also adds mass .join a gym. All the best.

I'm really trying to watch my weight and I've heard that roti can be pretty high in calories and carbs. But as Indians, it's hard to skip it altogetherlike, having fewer than 24 roti in a meal just doesn't feel satisfying. How can I break this habit? And is switching to bread a better option for weight loss?
