is an all water diet good to loose weight?

Answer 1

^What an intelligent answer from an intelligent user...

Yes, it is. It's also a very healthy fasting method. All animals do it at some point; it's not 'starvation'. When an animal becomes sick (which, for humans, fat is more or less a sign of illness...), it fasts. It drinks water, but doesn't eat food. If it does, it's very, very little. This isn't 'unhealthy'. They don't lose all of their muscle mass. They don't die from starvation. In fact, they know they should do it. Their bodies tell them to, because it's the easiest and fastest way to detox.

If you have absolutely no control over your body's actions, what you think, what you do and feel... Then don't even attempt it. Water fasting, for the first 3-10 days, is very difficult. I encourage you to read into it thoroughly before doing anything. Also, you must rest quite a bit. No exercising or excessive walking or anything overtly physical.

I once fasted for 30 days. It was difficult until the 5th day, when I was just fine. If you choose to water fast, you'll most likely have major headaches and such for the first few days. This is natural; It's the side effect of detoxification at such a rapid pace. With so many things drifting through your blood stream, of course you'd get a headache. With your intestines contracting to rid themselves of caked on and undigested (ROTTING, decaying), literal) ****, you'll probably feel slight cramps or stomach pains. Your back will probably hurt, due to kidney pressure, and your joints may even ache for a while. Don't forget pressure behind the eyes and smelly body parts (excretion of waste via epidermal pores)!

If you're serious about your health, though, you'll do a water fast initially to cleanse yourself of toxic overload. It's not something anyone WANTS to do, but it IS very good for you... That is, if it's done properly and only during certain times. What I mean by that is, you cannot water fast once a month for 10 days each go. Take responsibility for your actions and use will to beat the odds, then eat CORRECTLY from then on to keep from having to do it again. It's healthy when it's willed and once per half year. It's anorexia if it's done 2+ times a month after benging.

"Water fast" --> Google.
"Fruit Fast" --> Google.
"Fruit Juice Fast" --> Google. (Must be unflash-steril juice!)

Good luck. Don't be one of the idiotic saps who takes the magic bullet way out of being a fatass and then jumps right back into having syrup'd pancakes for breakfast and drinking beer and eating fried extra-cheese burgers with a coke. After all, there are three ways to be a pig: Looking like one, behaving like one, and thinking like one.

Update: Don't believe in "starvation mode" ideas people generally believe in. "Starvation mode" is activated by mind set alone. If you perceive your situation as starvation, then it becomes real. If it's a fast, your body has no stress to deal with and so takes the opportunity to heal itself. Ask one of those normal little sheep to fast for a day. Can they do it? Nope; And dateless men and women generally announce that they just don't like people. skinny men and women announce that being grizzled and muscled is 'disgusting' or 'unhealthy'. People who have no will power, have no brain power, and cannot fast... will object strongly to fasting. The truth? Some of the most advanced cultures and civilizations in history (far more advanced medically than us; Not electronically, maybe, but they knew what went on in the human body) had manditory routine fasts for HEALTH, not religion.
Research, research, research...

All vital nutrients have a storage limit and a limit on time OF storage. Your body doesn't store each thing it needs for only an hour. We'd die during the night if that were the case. Protein is another thing people like to push on soon-to-be-skeptics. What they don't understand is that, as the body cleanses, it uses MANY, MANY, MANY different things that it has broken down for new proteins. Did you know that when a cancer 'victim' fasts, their body breaks the cancer cells down and uses them for protein? Dead skin cells from the mouth are used, excess tissues in the body are used as needed (such as what's surrounding and holding FAT), etc. The only time you'll run out of protein is when you reach the holocaust-victim stage... And let's just ask: How long did it take for them to get to that point on a 300 calorie diet, working 14 hours a day under the sun? Now, your lazy *** sits around with that extra 50 pounds of fat... on a couch, watching tv, drinking water... with fresh air supplied, plenty of protein and nutrients, plenty of energy stored in the fat... Are you going to die? Well, give it a couple of MONTHS, and maybe so. A month and a half, possibly, if you work under strenuous labor situations. We're talking about water fasting for days numbering under 2 weeks, which, for weight loss, might just barely reach noticability.

Conclusion: You would have to perform triath upon triath and run miles a day for weeks to kill your store of energy and nutrients during time of water fasting... But, maybe you would deserve to die, then, right? No one's THAT stupid. ; )
-Periodic fasting; Good.
-Starvation w/ or w/o mental disorder; bad.
-Being forced into slavery for potato soup later at night; holocaust.

Answer 2

There is no such thing as a water diet. That is called starvation. Yes, you will lose weight for a short time. However, your metabolism will shut down, in an attempt to not eat itself. Given the fact that you cant live on water for more then a month, you will eventually start to eat again. Considering you didnt change your eating habits, you will probably return to eating the way you are now. The difference being that your metabolism will have been destroyed, and you will gain weight at even quicker pace. Do it in a healthy manner. Limit your calories. I dont know if you are a man or women, but you can use an online calculator to get a rough idea of how many calories you are using on a daily basis. From that, subtract 500. That will give you at least a 3500 cal a week deficit, which will equate to a minimum of 1lb of weight loss a week. If you have 100 to lose, it can easily be 4 or 5 lbs or more a week.

Answer 3

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.

I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.

It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.

Answer 4

not unless you're a fish. and since fish can't type, the answer is no. a good weight loss method is one in which you lose 3-4 lbs a month. eating a large salad, little or no dressing, will fill you, and the rest of the meal will limited as a result. you still get full nourishmenmt, but eat less and thus lose weight without starving yourself. you can eat what you like, but the sa;lad does most of the filling of the stomach. it eliminates the hungry feeling, and keeps any lost weight off.

Answer 5

You can lose weight by drinking at least 8 16 oz glasses or bottles of water a day but you cant live on all water. You also need nutrition. Drink water and stick to low fat foods and include protien, peanut butter, beans, some red lean red meat and lots of veggies.

Answer 6

A couple of people recently lost a lot on the H2O diet,
Of course they died within a day of it but . . .
Even for the ones that don't die, it is retarded because there is ZERO of the necessary nutrition for energy or life in water. . .

Answer 7

NO its not! It is good to drink water. dont drink anything sugary just water. Eat healthy and eat small portions(how do you think those people from other countries stay so skinny?).

Answer 8

THIS IS NOT A HEALTHY WAY TO DIET!!!! DON'T DO IT THAT WAY!!!! Eat a sensible diet with portion amounts of food. Drinking water is important but you also need the basic food groups. Please diet sensibly.

Answer 9

Nope

Answer 10

that's basically anorexia.

why don't you just eat healthy and exercise? running makes you lose weight more than probably any diet.
