Answer 1

I don't think once a week is healthy, it's too often. I tried it when I was younger, it did nothing in terms of weight loss. Once a month would probably be OK. Fasting without water is called dry fast. That is not good for you at all. If you decide to fast, do drink water. Don't drink diet coke, it's aweful for your stomach, especially empty stomach. If you eat anything but water it is no longer called fasting, that's just dieting.

It is really hard to not pig out after you don't eat for a day. If you keep yourself from pigging out on the next day, you will do it the following day, and your mind will come up with tricks and excuses.

Answer 2

yes fasting is too good for ur whole body but if u want to loose some weight then folow this diet plan

Reduction of weight:
1) Cook your food without any food oil try to use boiled/steamed vegetables, meat, and lot of salad. U can eat fruits too and boiled/steamed chicken or red meat too but no pork.
2) Potato is strictly forbidden during this diet
3) Don’t eat any type of junk food.
4) Drink at least 3 ltr of water daily. Make ur habit to drink water as much as u can
6) use brown bread
6) use skimmed and low fat milk and yogurt
7) no sugar of any type.
8) drink diet pepsi if u like. but just one glass once a day.
U can eat vegetable soap too as much as u can but no corn flour in it. Just cooked
9) if u feel hungry then divide ur diet into 5-6 healthy meals a day (1 plate size only)


at least take this diet for 3 to 6 months and when u fell that u have achieved your desired weight then make ur eating life style as told above but occasionally u can take other junk food too.

the best indoor exercise machine is tread mill. run on tread mill for at least 30 mntns daily. and try to extend ur period for one hour.

hope u got the right answer. if u have any query send me an email try yahoo.

It probably won't hurt you, but I can't think of any benefits either.
