Answer 1

Fasting is not eating, you drink though.

Answer 2

"Fasting" means not eating for some period of time. You can drink water and take vitamins and still have it considered a "fast."
If you fasted for a week, you might lose 50 pounds. You might also die. See a doctor and get on a medically approved diet so you don't create health problems by losing too much too fast (no pun intended).

Answer 3

Muslims take fasts during the holy Month of Ramadhan. It is "neither to eat, nor to drink, nor to smoke, nor to make love ... from dawn to sunset" during whole of the month. Yet the normal working remains there. It does not mean in any sense that: if you are with fast, you have to spend your day without physical fatigue. In Muslim families, fasting is binding for all men and women (as well as kids of 12 and above), provided that they have no such disease that might increase due to fasting. The people during journey are relaxed from fasting provided that they would complete the counting (i.e. take as many fasts, as they did not keep during the holy Month) after the expiry of the holy Month of Ramadhan.

Besides being a great worship, it has a lot of positive effects health. As for losing weight, I dont have any example.

The cause of over-weight is not in fact over-eating or fats or other types of food. Its major cause is non-consumption of what you eat! Just try to digest and consume all of what you eat. Eat only when you feel apitite and dont eat to the fullest. Keep some part of your stomach empty.

The Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessing of ALLAH be upon him) advised: "Fill one third of your stomach with food, one third with water, and keep one third empty". He, further advised: "Let your apitite be sharp before you eat".

Take these advices, buddy!

Answer 7

Fasting is not eating any solids, but you drink lots of water.

It is dangerous to fast without a doctor, nutritionist, and/or a dietitian. Talk to them first before you attempt to fast on your own.

Fasting is not eating.

It will also cause your metabolism to slow which will cause you to gain weight if you fast often. Your body will store the food you do eat as fat.
