Eating less and exercising more may make you lose weight, but you'll actually be fatter, because your starved body will look to your muscles for its missing nutrition, and it will cling to fat, aka you will lose muscle weight and have a jiggly body with higher body fat percentage.
actually.. the body feasts on the fat >.> not the muscle.. once there is no more stored fat to eat up the body will find other places for energy like muscles.
"When food is not eaten, the body looks for other ways to find energy, such as drawing on glucose from the liver's stored glycogen and fatty acids from stored fat and eventually moving on to vital protein tissues. Body, brain and nerve tissue depend on glucose for metabolism. Once the glucose is significantly used up, the body's metabolism changes, producing ketone bodies (acetoactate, hydroxy-butyrate, and acetone). Even though this transformation to an alternative form of energy has been made, some parts of the brain exclusively need glucose, and protein is still needed to produce it. If body protein loss were to continue, death will ensue."
