if i didnt eat for the next 5 days?

Question

how much pounds do you think i would lose? if all i did was drink water and maybe eat a couple grapes or some celery?

Answer 1

First... that does not sound safe or healthy. Second, the amount of weight you would lose would be based on your activity, not the lack of food intake. When you just starve your body it stores fat instead of burning it because it thinks you are starving it (and you are). Also you cannot be as active as you need to be to burn calories and thus lose weight if you are not taking in sufficient calories. You can make yourself very sick that way and in the end you still would not lose much weight. I suggest limiting yourself to say 1200 or so calories a day and a balanced exercise regime based on your abilities.

Answer 2

I don't know, it depends on each body and your metabolism, but I am sure that if you do that, you will be starving for the sixth day and then you are going to over eat gaining all the pounds, and more, that you will lose.

Answer 3

Answer 6

I would not suggest this, your body needs food. Eat healty stuff and dont eat junk food at all. You cant survive on water alone

Answer 7

5-10 lbs but don't do this. It will backfire on you by slowing your metabolism down.

Answer 9
