Question

if you could please tell me how much you could loose in 5 days with out eating thanks alot if you awnser :)

Answer 1

nothing your more likely to put weight on because your body will go into starvation mode.

try a slimming world i lost 10lb in forst week

Answer 2

You could lose a few pounds alright, but as soon as you start eating again, you'll gain it right back and even gain a lot more.

This is because our bodies are still programmed to respond to outside stimuli. If you deny your body food, it will go into famine mode, and start storing fat. This is NOT what you want, I think ...

What you need to do is eat MORE, and healthy food. Certain foods you can have, and have as much as you want: fresh leafy vegetables, legumes, most root vegetables, fruit, lean meat, pulses, lean meat, white fish. Others you do need by if you want to lose weight you simply have small portions: pasta, bread, coucous, oily fish, bacon, and vegetables like potatoes, parnsips, nuts and seeds (making sure you're not allergic to these). Go easy on fatty foods, like salami, butter and cheese - although you do need some of this for your bones, you don't need cheese dripping off pizza every time. Learn to make your own pizza and try it without cheese - in Italy this is called Pizza Marinara.

Rather than starving yourself, it's better to eat small amounts of the above 5 or six times a day. Don't forget also to drink about 8 glasses of water a day, or more. This will have the effect of speeding up your metabolism and making your body use more energy, thus burning more fat. You will become leaner, and feel fitter and better, and and generally be a lot healthier.

Mind you, results like this take time, but it is much better to ditch the bad foods now and start developing good eating and drinking habits. Try to change one thing every few days. Save the chips and burgers and sweets and other things as occasional treats.

Answer 3

You don't loose weight, you lose it (loose is what your pants will be when the pounds come off).

Don't attempt weightloss through fasting or restricting calorie intake. What happens initially is you lose some water weight, your metabolism slows down to conserve energy and calories, and you lose (in 5 days) probably few if any actual pounds (the water weight will come right back) and you've made it more difficult for you to lose weight in the future because you are now burning calories at a slower rate as your body tries to keep you from starving yourself to death. Chances are you will be very weak and unable to perform your typical daily activities after a couple of days because your body has no fuel to run on.

The way to lose weight and keep it off, and not make yourself ill or worse, is to eat a healthy balanced diet (at least 3 meals a day, 6 small ones is better), keep your calorie intake to a reasonable level, and exercise regularly (work up to 5 days a week, 1 hr a day).

Take care of you. There is no event or reason to harm your health just to lose a few pounds. It's not worth the results.

Answer 4

Well first off it isnt healthy, but once again I will answer your question and not limit to my opinions...unlike others.
It depends on yoru metabolism as days pass it will slow down that means that by near with 4th day your weight loss will be slow. It could be from 6lbs to 12lbs tt depends if exercise is being done and the metabolism, besides that I know that by the 2nd day you will start feeling extremely tired and most people cant make it to 5 days, unless you ignore the body or you have an eating disorder.

Answer 5

It does not matter as it would not be a stable (or healthy) way to take off weight. The right way is to cut yr entire calorie intake to between 1000, 1500 cal per day to take weight off sensibly! And ensure you are getting a good balance of proteins minerals and a small percentage of the 'good' fats. Weight taken off this way is far more likely to stay off! And you wouldn't be compromising your health!
You should lose 2 lbs per week this way (or even a bit more) that would almost be one stone in one month.

Answer 7

Pro ana/mia? Anorexic?

Even if not you sound it... When i do a 5 days of not eating i lose about 3 lbs the first day, 2 lbs the next two days, and every day after that, 1 lb. So for 5 days its about 9lbs =]

Answer 8

You will actually end up gaining weight because if you starve yourself, the next time your body gets food, it will store ALL OF IT. And this will continue for some time until your body is sure that it doesn't have to be in 'survival' mode any longer.

Answer 9

Probably not much because once the body detects low caloric intake, the starvation mode kicks in.
It goes into super saving mode and when you do start eating you gain weight faster because the body is still on starvation alert.
It will also depend on how active the person is,
Are they bed ridden ? or are they out playing soccer ?
It is activities that burn stored fat.

Answer 10

as far as i know, your body will store all the fat you have if you stop eating, because it thinks you're going through a famine. so you won't be able to lose much weight. you would be much better off if you limit your portions and eat healthy stuff, and try to do some exercises. you can tone your body somewhat in 5 days!

Answer 11

OH MY GOD....I was gonna say your sanity. That is so weird
:O

Don't starve yourself girl, your body will only try and hold on to every little calorie so it doesn't stop functioning. Therefore you will just gain more weight. Just eat healthily and cut out choccy bars and crisps and other high fat foods and exercise as well. You will lose more weight this way than starvation!! Look after yourself!! XxX
