Fasting for fast weightloss?

Question

For someone who wasy 118 pounds and is 5'2 is they fasted for one weeks about how much weight would they lose, How much would they lose if they fasted for two weeks?

Answer 1

They will lose less (if any) than they will gain afterwards because all they will lose by fasting is water weight and muscle not fat and slow down metabolism.
To lose fat you have to make just a slight deficit in daily caloric intake and do lots of cardio.

Answer 2

probably not much as the body would think it was being starved and store more fats to compensate for the lack of foods. that is why people yoyo when they go on a crash diet. The bodies natural defenses think there is a famine ahead and starts to store more fats than it normally would. In the short term I would hazard a guess and 4-8 pounds of weightloss but the minute you start eating you will put it all back on and more.

Answer 3

first off - you don't need to lose weight. And second, fasting will take longer than a week to show results. Because when you start to fast, your body panics and thinks your not going to ever give it any more food, so it stores up fat and any other nutrients in your body for a long time. I don't know how long it would take before you actually lost some weight - but longer than a week. hope I helped.

Answer 4

You will end up gaining more weight when your fast ends than what you lost during the fast- you will have re-set your metabolic thermostat downward, and activated a condition referred to as the Famine syndrone- your body will require fewer calories than ever to maintain its basic functions, and will subsequently begin storing all excess calories as FAT!! DO NOT do this!

Answer 5

Here is an easier way. Instead of fasting. eat salad's no dressing , water, and run on treadmill for 3 miles 2 times a day for 2 weeks.

Answer 6

1 or 2 pounds of water only
