fatty acid oxidation is decreased during fasting. during the first 2 weeks of any diet a good 90% of the weight lose is from water as stored nutrients are being metabolized for energy. the human body does not rapidly go from a state of fat storage to accelerated fat loss. it can take a good 3-4 weeks on a healthy diet and exercise program before there is measurable fat loss

No no no - don't do a water fast, that is crazy. And very unhealthy. A much better fast is a juice fast. See, if your body has nothing to metabolize, it will think it is starving and go into starvation mode. Not good for weight loss, since in that mode it tries to store as many calories as it can. With a juice fast you are still getting fed something - so you are still metabolizing, you are not in starvation mode. But a juice fast also has the benefit of cleansing your system and making your body throw off the extra toxins sitting around in there - which causes you to lose weight and also is very healthy for you. Make sure it is only fresh-squeezed juice that you get from fresh fruits and veggies using a juicer - store-bought juice will not work because of the added sugar and preservatives.
The basics of a juice fast... stay with fresh juice, and drink one 8-oz glass every 3 hours or so. In between drink as much water as you can.
Good luck!

you need to drink water in order to flush your system of toxins and fats. denying yourself of water is gonna dehydrate you and you will be ill. You need to not eat salty foods which makes you retain, or hold in the water.
