how much weight does a person lose on a 3 day fast?

Answer 1

anywhere from 3-5 pounds.. but it wil be water weight.

if you are fasting to lose weight (which is unhealthy, but you MUST know that because it is obvious) do a 10 day fast.. basically after the 3rd day your body is in ketosis, which means that you are burning fat.. so fast for longer than 3 days..

OR, adopt a healthy lifestyle of a balanced diet and daily exercise.

your choice.

good luck.

Answer 2

All they lose is water weight, and it can vary. Here's the kicker. Whatever they lose on the fast, they will gain right back anyway, so does it matter? Fasts are wastes of time and shouldn't be seen as a means of losing weight. Whatever is lost (water, not fat anyway) will come back on when the person resumes normal eating. The only way to lose fat/weight is to exercise and to eat healthy.

Answer 3

1 or 2 pounds but it comes back quickly. Fasting is great, but not an ideal method of weight loss.

Answer 4

Depends on the person, but in my opinion, 3-5 lbs.

Answer 5

optimum protein,low fat, low sugar, low carbohydrate,low salt nutrition replacing two meals along with essential supplements,and having one meal of your choice per day,with one liter of water for every 44lbs would provide desired result
