You will not starve. You will not instantly become thin. Fasting is consuming only liquids. When the body does not have to deal with digesting solid food and getting rid of the waste that solid food creates, it can concentrate on getting rid of toxins. The most common reason to fast is to eliminate disease or from the body.
How much weight will I lose?
The main benefit offered by a fast, to those who wish to lose weight, is the speed of the weight loss. To see a person drop 30-to-40 pounds in a 30-day juice fast is to see a person totally transform his life. Self-esteem is given a boost and for the first time in their life, discipline becomes a lifestyle. The fast becomes a catalyst for a total life overhaul. People start dressing better, showing more confidence, becoming more organized, more dedicated in relationships and more at peace.
Initially, weight loss can be as high as three-to-four pounds per day, but as the fast continues, the average loss will be one pound-per-day. If you are juice fasting and not losing weight, the juice is supplying all the calories you need. You may have to cut down on the juices or alternate between water fasting and juice fasting if losing weight is part of your goal. The slower your metabolism is the slower the weight loss.
Try to stay focused on the healthy things you are doing to improve your life rather than being consumed with the number of pounds lost each day. Water retention can vary your weight five pounds so watching the scale can be frustrating. The best motivation to fast is for physical and spiritual health. Be patient; the fasting process is slow. Be thankful the toxins are leaving your body. Do not have unrealistic expectations. Give your body the time it needs to do the work of cleansing.

Here is what happens when you don't eat. First the glucose in body gets used up in the first 12-24 hours or so. Then your body starts to use fat as fuel but the longer you go with out food the more your body shifts into survival mode and begins to use your lean muscle tissue as fuel to preserve the fat. You will also lose a lot of water weight as part of this process. The exact amount you'd lose in two weeks would depend on your level of fitness, how active you were during the two weeks and how big you are right now. But about10-15% of your body weight would be a good guess. Keep in mind that most of what will be lost is muscle tissue and water. The water weight will come bake as soon as you start eating normally again and your metabolism will be slower making easier for you gain fat.

I fasted once for 10 days and lost 25 pounds. I had absolutely no problems at all, and I felt better on the 10th day than when I started. However, I made the mistake of breaking the fast with a hamburger and got nauseated. Also, I was then young and healthy, and my doctor tells me to not do that now.

How much they would lose depends on how overweight they are. A person who's 5'5" and 200 lbs will lose 1-2 lb a day for about a month.
They have a water fasting thread at the Kimkins Diet site.

I know a better diet solution. Try Weight Loss / Hoodia Sample. It helps suppress hunger and control appetite. Just be careful where you get your Hoodia sample. Here's a website http://www.upkb.com/weightloss.php for the product details.

Well.... many seek advice from motorbikes (bikes) as Iron horses. I might have a tough time picking among a speedy bike and a reside, speedy horse. Cars are too confining.
