Hello I hope you are dooing well at this time. If you do not eat you will not lose weight the body will slow down to adjust to the minimum food intake. If you go to the American Diabetes Association website there are siets there that can help you control the weight in a healthy manner whild still consuming a moderate amount of calories, if you look under hypoglycemia, there should be a diet there that will let you eat more times a day and less calories per meal. I am on this diet and it helps to lose and maintain weight, BUT you must follow the diet to lose and maintain the weight. I am going to leave you my email if you have any questions neohiodbsa@yahoo.com. Email anytime Sincerely Soidhonia
