This is very unhealthy - your body needs calories to function. When you do not eat your body goes into shock and may actually produce more fat. I would consider eating 5 small meals a day. Also stop eating after 7pm. Your metabolism slows down dramatically in the evening. Avoid eating junk food.
Also exercise regularly. Depending on your age, I would take up running or jogging. Try to jog 3 times a week and gradually increase your distance. I would recommend 45 minutes/3x a week at a comfortable pace for starters. Make sure you stretch before and after to minimize soreness.
Do everything in moderation and eventually you will lose weight in a healthy way.
Good Luck.

I'm no expert but if you are trying to loose weight muscle mass is actually better for you to have. Making your muscles work burn more fat than not having muscle. I guess I don't understand what it is you are trying to do. No going that long without eating is really bad.
f you are doing atkins there are plenty of foods you can eat. I'm taking it slow but I've lost 31 lbs in the past 6 months.

You must be kidding! You can not burn the muscle mass and fats by going on fast for 5 days. You will die of hunger. This is not the way to burn the fat. Consult a good doctor and act according to his suggestions.

you havent eaten for 5 days??? OMG. do you wanna die. i think that is just so much. if that is your way of getting a tight body, maybe you are goin far too much. do not punish your body. i suggest you go to a professional trainer or a dietician that can give you advise on proper exercise and food intake to achieve the body that you like. what is a good body if you will be sick or worst,

You are asking for trouble. Perhaps you want to be like Teri Shivo... turn into a vegetable in the hospital as a result of malnutrition...
Eat!

Not a good idea to fast for long periods. When you start to eat again your body will store the fat, quicker than if you were eating regular meals.
