You are 175 pound how much weight can you lose fasting for a week?

Depending on how much of that 175 pounds is not fat weight, how fast your metabolism is, and how active your lifestyle, you could burn anywhere from 1750 calories to 5000 calories per day. The likelihood is that you burn somewhere between 1750-2500 on any given day. However, after going without food for a prolonged period of time, your body will tend to burn less calories. Also, after a short period of time, the body will go into a state of ketosis (burns muscle instead of fat). Let us remember that your body is a machine that is meant to survive and surviving means being energy efficient. Your body will try to get rid of what muscle it can to save itself extra calorie expenditure, instead opting to save the fat on your body. It feels as though it is starving so it tries to hold onto stores of fat and get rid of the pesky muscle that is sucking down calories. With that said, it is best to not look at fasting as a safe means by which one can lose weight, because one will lose minimal fat-weight. Regardless, this is not the question you have asked. the answer to your question is that you would burn somewhere in the vicinity of 3.5-5 pounds of body weight. You will also likely temporarily lose about the same amount (if not more) in water weight.

Actually, you won't lose much weight because a five foot, five person who weighs 120 pounds is basically already at it's ideal weight, henceforth, it would be hard for a lean person to lose a lot of weight through fasting. Actually, the more overweight you are, the more weight you lose through fasting and overweight people lose lots of weight through fasting faster as well. :) Hope this helps!!
