  • That's not healthy! I dont even know but you'd probably go right to the hospital and be forced to gain it all back again!
  • It doesn't matter because you'll be dead, if you mean you're not going to drink any fluids for 30 days. Normally, a human adult can only last three days without water.
  • Whatever your current weight is. If you only consume water for 30 days, you are likely to die. Therefore you will lose all of your weight and be nothing but a corpse.
  • If you are drinking only water and not eating, you will loose about 10 pounds the first week, and between 3 and 5 pounds the next two weeks. It is not recommended to go beyond this. You must not begin a diet this severe without your doctor's permission! For more on a water fast, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_fasting
  • I think you just asked this question so I'll answer what I just told you (or the guy who just asked this). You will end up in the hospital and gain it all back! please don't tell me you're thinking of trying this!
  • Little, if any. You will send your body into "survival mode" - during which it will burn as few calories as possible, and store every bit of food you DO consume (because... you'll probably cave at some point) as fat, in preparation for the long wait for the next meal. Also, you're likely to retain water, as this is also a side effect of survival mode. And, when you do begin eating again, it will take some time before your body adjusts, and you will put on MORE weight.
  • Who cares...
  • This is not advisable. After 30 days (if you make it without food that long), switching to solid food again will make you sick.
  • Not as much as you think. Your body will shut down and stop dropping weight because it fears starvation.
  • I don't know but I wouldn't try it.
  • It depends on the individual. Water fasting for detox, religious beliefs, etc., are more common than many people realize. It should be done with the guidance and supervision of someone who has done it before, as well as a medical or natural health professional. Anyway, most people lose quite a bit of weight during the fast, but gain much, if not all of it back shortly after reintroducing beverages and foods that contain calories.
  • You will have lost about maybe 10 kg at the end of the 30 days. However, when you start again to eat, you could regain those 10 kg quite quickly, if you are not cautious. You could even weight more than at the beginning: "Yo-yo dieting, also known as weight cycling, is a repeated loss and gain of body weight due to excessive dieting. The term "yo-yo dieting" was coined by Kelly D. Brownell, Ph.D., at Yale University, in reference to the cyclical up-down motion of a yo-yo. In this process, the dieter is initially successful in the pursuit of weight loss but is unsuccessful in maintaining the loss long-term and begins to gain the weight back. The dieter then seeks to lose the regained weight, and the cycle begins again. The reasons for yo-yo dieting are varied but often include embarking upon a diet that was initially too extreme. At first the dieter may experience elation at the thought of loss and pride of their rejection of food. Over time, however, the limits imposed by such extreme diets cause effects such as depression or fatigue that make the diet impossible to sustain. The dieter reverts to their old eating habits, and with the added emotional effects begins to rapidly regain weight. This kind of diet is associated with extreme food deprivation as a substitute for good diet and exercise techniques. As a result, the dieter may experience loss of both muscle and body fat during the initial weight-loss phase (weight-bearing exercise is required to maintain muscle). After completing the diet, the dieter is likely to experience the body's famine response, leading to rapid weight gain of only fat. This is a dangerous fat-cycle that changes the body's fat to muscle ratio, one of the more important factors in health." Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yo-yo_dieting
  • I have tried this...it is scientific fact that up to 117 days a person can go without food only if you take a multivitamin and drink at least 64oz of water daily. it does bring off weight..up to 2-7 lbs. every 3 days. It doesnt make you feel that well because you feel tired, off balance and sick feeling. Lost of energy is a big problem. i am 36 and am on this diet right now. I have to lose weight fast and in 2 days i have lost 5 lbs.
  • i read up on fasting because i was thinkin about trying this diet (or so called cleansing method)and most facts i have read say you will loose an enormous amount of weight.Shortly after the fasting you will gain the weight back rapidly if you dont take it slow and eat only small things,maybe juice fast a few days after to avoid rapid weight gain.
  • i think if you do it for a few days and then exercise it would be ok, but you must maintain a healthy diet and regular exercise after the fast. i did it for 8 days and lost 15 lbs. then i maintaind doing the atkins diet along with at least 2 hours of cardio a day. i have kept it off and have kept loosing the weight.. also remember to drink only purified water tap water is a no no....
  • I am not sure, but what you should question is how much will you gain back when you start eating again...
  • you'll lose A LOT, but once you start eating again, you'll gain it back plus some
  • yeah that is why you need to eat proper and exercise.. after you hit 30 you can say good bye metabolisim and hello saddle bags... you need to eat veggies and and raw foods if you fast for weeks and then start back eating cheeseburgers yeah you will gain twice as much as you loose... duh...

I HAVE CARRIED OUT EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON WATER FASTING, AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT IT IS COMPLETELY SAFE, YOU WILL LOSE AN AVERAGE OF 1 TO 2 LBS A DAY AND YOU WILL ALSO GAIN MENTAL CLARITY, EMOTIONAL STABILITY, YOUNGER LOOKING CLEAR SKIN AND A FEELING OF POWER, INNER PEACE AND HAPPINESS.

  • You will lose a lot. But as soon as you start eating again, you'll put it ll back on. Just cut down to One solid meal or 2 small meals. It seems to be working for me. Dont try these fad diets- this one is exactly the same as starving yourself, which has greater consequences than benefits.
  • well ive lost 20 lbs on a 9 day water fast and im on a 23 day one now at day 11 and ive lost 22 lbs. that 20 lbs on the 9 day, i gained my 5 lbs in water weight back but NONE of the rest. the problem with asking most people about it is they dont know anything about it. most will say your starving yourself. starving only occurs after youve gone through and flushed out all of your excess fat. stay strong and dont let anyone deter you from your goals. good luck to you.
  • so can i lose like 15 kg on water fast for 30 days and exercise evryday for 2 houes?
