One Day Fasting?

Question

If you do one day fasting (drinking only water or juice and fruits) how much weight you will lose?

Answer 1

Probably a few pounds (maybe 3 or 4), at the very most - but that's only water loss. In terms of fat and actual weight, you will lose nothing.

I'd advise against it - it could easily turn into a habit, then your health would be at risk. And besides, as soon as you start eating again, you'll put all that weight back on - and more, due to metabolism and whatnot.

Don't bother.

Answer 2

Water-about 1-5, depending on your build, age, metabolism, workout, etc.

juice, depends on how much and what kind of juice, I knew someone who gained 2 pounds in one day on a juice only fast.

Answer 3

You need as a female 2000 calories a day --very approx
fat is 3500/lb

you therefore should loose about 8 oz of fat(do not forget intake from juice/fruit). You may loose more but some of that will be water.

this is just to give you a guideline


Fasting can actually make you fatter.

The power of fasting is not in losing weight during the fast, but in gaining control of your appetite, which is the REAL problem.

During a fast, the body burns its own fat. As the body burns its fat there is a release of chemical compounds called "ketones". Medical science claims this is the source of "bad breath." That is partially true. I am familiar with the smell of ketones from my chemistry training. When ketones are released, I did smell them, but the other stuff that was on my breath was NOT KETONES. The stuff that came out in the enema was NOT KETONES, it was M.E.S.S.

As the body burns fat, eliminates M.E.S.S. and cleanses itself, two things happen that can make you fatter.

First, after several days, your metabolism slows down. If your body were being described as a car, metabolism would be all of the engine and battery processes. The body slows its metabolism approximately 20% after several days on a fast. Medical science describes this as a survival mechanism.

If the body is not getting food, then it slows down so that it needs less food, that makes plenty sense. This way, you can live much longer with no food if your body slows down.

Second, your digestive system is cleaner. The villi in the intestines are cleaner, the stomach lining is cleaner, the colon is cleaner.

When a car engine gets dirty, it uses more gas per mile. If the spark plugs are dirty, the carburetor or fuel injectors clogged, the wires corroded, and the air filter is clogged, the engine does not run efficiently.

Clean up the car engine and your gas mileage will improve. You can go farther from the same gallon of gas. The same is true of your body.

If the lungs are clogged, the intestines coated with filth, the colon stopped up, the blood thick and sluggish, fat surrounding the heart and in the arteries, the body is running inefficiently. Clean up the body, and you will get more miles to the gallon.

A fast cleans up the body.
A fast slows the metabolism.

When you combine those two elements, a cleaner more efficient body with a slower metabolism, you need less food for the same level of activity. Food is absorbed and utilized better in a clean digestive system. It does not take a research team to spend years testing, analyzing, taking surveys and doing clinical trials to prove that. That is common sense.

If it takes less food to do the same thing, it means one of three things:

1. You need to cut down on the food you were eating before the fast since you do not need as much food for the same level of activity.

2. If you eat the same amount of food after the fast as before, you need more physical activity to use the extra efficiency and slowed metabolism.

3. If you eat the same, and have the same activity level, you may get fatter!

I am trying to tell you the truth as I understand it. I will not lie or make fasting sound like something it is not. Fasting can make you fatter if you don't change after the fast.

Fasting will allow you to gain control of your appetite. There comes a power of self-control after you have completed a long fast that is like nothing else. You may not get the self-control that you seek on your first fast. But, do you master anything else on your first try?

Fasting on a periodic basis allows a person to gradually gain control over their appetite. Do not gorge before or after the fast! Learning to control your desire for food as you break your fast is a great aid in controlling it daily.

You will find that you are not hungry when you end your fast (after three days, hunger usually abates). You are not hungry, but the desire to eat is there. There is a big difference between actual hunger and desire for food.

Learn to control the desire, learn to eat only when you are physically hungry. This is the ONLY way any type of permanent weight loss becomes effective. You must have a change of thought pattern and a change of lifestyle.

A diet is always viewed as a punishment. We don't like punishment. I don't care who you are, eventually you will move away from punishment to that which is rewarding.

The only way to successfully lose weight is to CHANGE what we view as rewarding. As long as stuffing yourself with food, eating three or more clogging meals per day and sweets and fattening foods are your idea of reward, you will remain either fat or on a constant weight yo-yo.
