About Starvation

Starvation is caused by not eating enough carbohydrate and fat in a diet.
Starvation can usually be cured by eating more carbohydrate and fat.
When the body begins starvation it uses up all its carbohydrates for energy. It then uses up all the fatty tissue for energy and when the fatty tissue runs out it uses up the protein in muscles.
