How much weight do you lose from fasting if you are 5 feet 6 inches and 165 pounds and have a normal metabolism?

Answer 1

In one week fast, You will lose 10 lbs, your metabolism will slow down to compensate the vanished calorie intake. And you will have to drink 8-10 glasses of water. It would be a good idea to eat a home made Gelatin made from apple juice, when u are feeling weakest on 3rd day. You will continue losing weight on the 4th day, feeling very dizzy and slow to answer simple questions involving your long-term and short-term memory. Also, going to sleep early having drinking lots of water will keep the restlessness of hunger at bay. Avoid television, and is important when coming off the fast, I would just suggest a 5 day fast. Stay away from white sugar in foods, it will not taste that great anyways if you try to eat a donut right away. Don't drink cold water, only drink water at room temperature, and don't drink a glass full of water before your meals when you start eating again. The water dilutes your digestive juices required to breakdown the food in the stomach, and your body will have a hard time digesting the food. Walk lots when you come off your fast, and its important to maintain muscle strength during fast also. Muscle weighs more than fat, and you don't want to lose muscle on your fast!
