EVERY PERSON WILL LOSE A DIFFERENT AMOUNT OF WEIGHT BECAUSE EACH PERSON'S BODY RESPONDS DIFFERENTLY TO DIFFERENT STRESSORS. Not as much weight as she'll gain back once she stops starving herself. When you fast, your body compensates by slowing down its metabolism in order to conserve energy. This will continue for some time even after you begin eating again. I have heard that but the funny thing is I am 20 years old 5'9 and used to weight 190 and I went into depression and didn't eat a whole lot and I lost 45 lbs and kept it off for a year and a half and i ate anything and everything and I am just barely gaining it back now and only like 15 lbs.... but like you said everybodys body is different I just know mine didnt go into starvation mode. Not that I am saying you should do that it wasn't a good idea and there are a lot of healthier ways to losing weight. I suggest weight watchers. That is really good and it really does become a way of life. You start to look at everything as points.

It is a very bad idea to fast for the purpose of losing weight. If your brain senses you are starving, your metabolism will be slowed, meaning you will be unable to burn fat and will actually gain more weight in the long run.

A much healthier and effective way to lose weight is to eat three regular meals a day, cut out snacks, and begin swimming and/or jogging as a hobby.

Cucumbers are on sale so you buy 100 pounds of them at your local market The cucumbers are 99 percent water Some days later they dry out to 98 percent water How much do they weigh now?

The answer is 50 pounds. The first day the part of the cucumbers that is not water is 1% of the total weight, or 1 pound. Several days later the non-water part of the cucumber is now 2% of the total weight, but still weighs 1 pound. if 2% is 1 pound, 100% is 50 pounds.
