how much weight will i loose if i dont eat anything?

Question

for a week.with out excersize

Answer 1

Well that is very unhealthy first of all. And second of all it depends on a lot of factors, such as how much you weight right now? Whats your BMI? What's your metabolism rate?

But I would say as a ball park estimate about 10 pounds, give or take a few. However I don't think you will be able to go a full week, you will be extraordinarily fatigued.

Answer 2

You will never lose anything if you never eat. The fat inside of your body will store longer as food is the main source of energy. Without eating anything will also be very,very unhealthy. Serious consequences will happen if you do not eat at all. By not eating will cause you to gain all the weight back after(even if you did lose weight) and potentially add on a few pounds more. If you are seriously thinking about losing weight, then start eating healthier(less fatty foods, more fruits& veggies). Everyone does exercise in the day as one does walk to get to places indoors. It might help if you consider eating dinner early and go outside to walk around for ten minutes or so everyday. Severe internal damage could potentially occur, if food is not consumed. I mean you want to be healthy and look slim; however you should do things the healthiest way!

Answer 3

Your body uses energy to pump blood, keep warm, breathe, digest, process foods etc.. this "basal metabolic rate" requires about 1500 calories per day if you are an inactive sole and maybe 3000 if you are highly active.

Your body gets the energy from food, muscle tissue and stored body fat. If it is having difficulty metabolising the necessary sources of energy, your body starts shutting things down in order of importance, including the ability to metabolise.

So, say you were to lose 10,000 Cal in a week ... that's about 3 pounds, but you wouldn't be well and your body would probably quickly grab the nutrients you ate following the fast and store them as fat the following week.

Therefore chances are high that you would gain weight over the two week period, and your pain would be for nought. Surely, it is better to exercise and try to have a 500 calory deficit per day so that you lose 1 pound per week of body fat and you might even gain some muscle weight?

Answer 4

Probably just a little bit, but the next week when you start eating again you'll blimp out. By starving yourself you will put your body into starvation mode and every piece of food you get will be stored as fat. You'll probably end up fatter than you were before you started this. The best way to lose weight is to eat enough and of the right foods, drink plenty of water and exercise.

Answer 5

I don't know how much weight you will lose, but two negative things will come out of it, if you do this. First, you will lose muscle mass, making you weak. Second, when you starve your body, you will make it basically freak out so when you do start to eat again, your body will hold on to every calorie in case you "starve" it again making it hard to lose weight, so you're defeating the purpose when you starve yourself.

If you're seriously wanting to lose weight, you need to realize it will take time. We live in a rush, rush world, but when it comes to successful weight loss, you need to be patient. Remember, the faster you take it off, the faster you'll put it back on.

Cut your calories, eat healthy foods and work out at a gym, or at least walk everyday. Don't eat after 7 pm, or if you do have a light calorie snack like yogurt.

T.O.P.S. (take off pounds sensibly) is a non-profit weight loss support group that will educate you on successful weight loss. It's costs only a few dollars a month. That program taught me invaluable information, and I lost 35 pounds in four months and have kept it off. Check your phone book in the yellow pages for a local meeting.
Good luck!

Answer 6

You might have a temporary weight loss but when your body feels like it is starving, your metabolism will slow down to compensate. You are better off to eat 5 small meals a day with protein in the morning for breakfast. This is healthier and with some moderate exercise, weight loss will occur.

Answer 7

Not very much at all. Your body will go into starvation mode and conserve energy. Then when you start eating again, it will retain all calories and store everything. You will actually gain weight and fat. It's best to eat less and still exercise.

Good luck.

Answer 8

Get off your fat backside and work at the problem. Do a bit of exercise every day and you will see more results then sitting around starving yourself to death.

Answer 9

Pretty much nothing. Your body will go into starvation mode and store fat rather than burn it.

Answer 10

well, a bit i spose, but if you crack half way through, your body will store the fat and you'll put on weight
