You will thus experience an increase in the percentage of fat and this will cause you to increase weight. The problem is two folds when the body is in starvation mode; this is because the loss of muscle tissues also has the effect of reducing the body metabolism. When your body metabolism reduces, you will not be able to lose a lot of body fat hence you will not lose weight.

A. Train with weights
