How many days will you lose weight without eating?

Answer 1

no, don't' do that. There are much safer and effective ways to lose weight quickly for instance eating right in several servings a day and excersizing.

AnswerI have heard your body could gain weight because it thinks it's starving to death and stores calories

Answer 2

If you stop eating for 7 days your lean muscle will turn into fat. This will = weight losson the scales; although you may appear larger in the mirror. After 14 days you will look smaller and be weaker and have a higher body fat composition. After 30 days you will perish and lose 100% of your body weight.

It is better to eat smaller portions several times throughout the day. Drink only water stay away from fast foods and fried foods. Snack on fresh vegetables. Eat something within 30 minutes of waking up and nothing after 6pm.

Answer 3

You should allow a week for every 1-2 pounds (1 kg) you want to lose.
Here's a program for the period in which you want to lose weight:
Plenty of moderate aerobic exercise, no sweetened liquids at all, and no junk food at all. Preferably no sugar, and as little added salt and processed foods as possible. Eat 3 small-portioned meals/day; do not skip breakfast; and avoid snacks. Limit your calories (better to consult a doctor or nutritionist concerning the amount), and weigh yourself 2-3 times/week. Ignore the sensation of hunger. If you see your weight diminishing at a safe, reasonable rate (1-2 pounds/week), keep it up.
Once you've reached your target weight, increase your calorie intake somewhat. And you can then have small amounts of sweetened foods or junk food on occasion (if at all), along with your regular foods (not instead of them). But keep checking your weight 2-3 times/week.
Avoid crash diets, diet pills etc. Avoid fatty cuts of meat. Walk as much as possible. Bicycling and swimming are good too.
More guidelines:
Don't concentrate on specific foods so much as on a balanced, healthy diet plus exercise. Plenty of moderate exercise rather than intense exercise, which can damage your joints.
Good nutrition means eating what your body needs, while ingesting as few harmful things as possible. It has also been described as getting enough of each of the major food categories (grains, fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, etc.; plus plenty of water).
This will vary somewhat from one person to another; and I don't believe that there's any universal diet that can be prescribed for everyone. Avoid best-sellers with their perennial fad diets. And think twice before using any dietary supplements or weight-loss pills.
In general, one's starting point can be a menu of whole grains, whole-wheat bread, a good amount of vegetables, some fruits and nuts, fish, lean meats (in not-large amounts), and some dairy. However, this must be tweaked according to one's health, weight and other factors at the outset; and also adjusted over time, as one sees what works for him/her in particular.
Also...whenever you feel queasy, nauseous, constipated or otherwise not completely well, try to remember what you've eaten over the last several hours or the last day. This is one method of adjusting one's food habits.

Answer 4

Not eating does not perse result in weight loss.

Being overweight is rather cause by eating unhealthy than by eating too much.
