If we do not eat for some time, we lose weight and feel tired and weak. In the absence of food, the body starts using its fat reserves. Once these are used up and if there is still no or very little food supply form outside, the result is malnutrition. Life-saving processes in the body slow down because there is no fuel/energy to maintain them. We become susceptible to disease-causing germs. We have all seen pictures of children with bloated stomachs and very thin legs. The bloated stomach filled with water is a result of serve malnutrition.
