In the first week of starving youre actually detoxing your body. A lot of people say that its bad, I'm not a doctor or anywhere near, but actually allowing toxins to leave your body helps with losing weight even after you start eating again.

You lose a lot of water-weight first, which is anywhere from 5-20lbs in the first week. I wouldn't ever condone starving for more then a week or so.

A good way of losing weight is fasting once or twice a day every week. This is an easy way of quickly losing without having to exercise, which you should do anyways.

Yes, you will certainly lose weight. You may also lose your life. Not having the proper nutrients in the body can cause permanent damage to the internal organs, the brain and the other body systems. It is certainly not a safe way of dropping some weight.

How much weight can you lose in a week on the HCG diet?

Here are some examples: If you are male and need to lose more than 30 pounds, you can plan on around 10 or more pounds in the first 7 days. I have seen men lose as much as 12. If you need to lose around 15 pounds, you can plan on losing about 7 pounds the first week. If you are a woman and need to lose around 60 pounds, you can most likely plan on losing 12 pounds the first week. If you need to lose about 30 or less pounds you will most likely lose around 5 to 7 pounds the first week. The above situations are based on doing the HCG Diet correctly!

What is the best diet to lose 5 pounds in a week?

5 pounds is not a sensible amount to try to lose in a week, so I'm not going to suggest anything for that. 1-3 pounds is doable, by dropping everything that's fatty, sugary and alcoholic, if combined with an otherwise sensible menu and some exercise.
