Answer: Remaining idle will make you gain fat & weight. You can literally stop eating for a week and still gain weight just by doing nothing. Letting your body not move or do anything active will just induce weight gain, that also includes long-term sleeping (unless you plan to sleep in the sun, since that would actually help weight-loss).

I never heard of anyone gaining hiccups from not eating.

Going for a period of time without food trains your body's metabolism to go into starvation survival mode, and conserve all the fat it can, regardless of the amount of activity.

To lose weight healthily, you often will end up with a plan that asks you to eat more food than you're used to-- focusing on healthier, more natural foods, of course.

(I hope you're joking about the anorexia thing... too many bad things far overshadow any benefit you'll have from losing 8 superficial lbs.)

If you need monies for foods and accept paypal, I'd be willing to commission something to help out... *hugs*

Verm said it first. Darn you, verm, you beat me to it! Heheh.
