i am too im 280 i want to lose about 100 pounds my thing is if i do Water Fast can i work out to lose more than 1lb a day. i know its not healthy but i just need too know and why is this better than any other diet

Water fasting is not a weight loss diet or weight loss lifestyle.

Water fasting is used for healing, and for changing lifestyle.

While it is possible to loose weight while water fasting, it is also possible to gain double as much after the water fast, if you don't change your diet and your lifestyle.

If you look at Water Fasting as a way to jump-start a new lifestyle, rather than as a way of loosing quickly a few pounds, you really have chance to succeed.

Water fasting can not fix excess skin.
Once you loose weight, your skin will keep the same size ... so you may have some excess skin.

What are the natural diets that can help you keep loosing weight once you end your fast?


- Natural starch -free and Sugar free raw vegetarian diet
- paleo diet
- raw diet
- vegetable juicing
etc.

If you don't make a serious change in your diet and your lifestyle (no sugar, no starches, no fried foods, no processed foods) during and after the fast, you will actually gain double as much weight after the fast.

So for your overall health and well being, Water Fasting is less important than what you do after the fast.

Very few obese people are able to fast on water longer than 20-30 days.
It takes a huge discipline, something most obese people struggle with.
Very few are actually able to pass the first week.

During the 30 days time, max you can loose is maybe 20 - 30 pounds.
There is absolutely no way to loose 150 pounds fasting on water alone, without suffering some serious health problems.

It is a huge risk of damaging your health, if you attempt to fast until you loose 150 pounds cause you would have to fast for up to 150 days.

To combat symptoms associated with water fasting, wash your colon with clean water enema.

Good Luck!

Consider fasting to be a more spiritual, and less a physical experience, and you will succeed.

If the numbers on the scale are the only focus of your fast, you will fail.

Weight loss is a combination of calories in and calories out. Depending where these energy sources come from will depend on how much weight you lose. Also take in mind that your metabolism will reflect calories burned which will reflect pounds loss. Fasting can seem like a quick way to lose weight. But it rarely is the fastest way to lose. It is not a magical way to lose the weight.

As someone who has fasted for years I can tell you that eating a clean diet and exercising will help you lose more weight and KEEP IT OFF than fasting. I think fasting is a wonderful way to kick start a diet (sometimes) then sometimes it will cause a cycle of binging (depends on the person).

So how much weight would you lose?
You could lose between 1 to 10 pounds in a day. It all varies on your body. Have you ever weighed yourself everyday for a month? Women can drop 10 lbs in a day if they suddenly get enough fluids in their body (its all about hydration). A lot of times fasting weight loss is vanity pounds. I have never lost weight in a week and thought, "I lost 10 lbs of fat" It is more like, "I lost 10 lbs of water retention" And yes that weight can severely change your body composition. Water weight can reflect greatly on our waistlines. But you can get the same results eating and drinking enough water (which is surprisingly a lot more water than most people ever drink). No matter if you are fasting try to drink an ounce of water per pound of body weight. If you do that, I guarantee you will lose weight.

Skin sagging is very much a combination of genes and hydration. If you drink enough water and weight train your body will look a lot better than someone who doesn't work their muscles and fasts. Many hygienist books will tell you that your shape during fasting will stay the same. Meaning if you are shaped like a pear you will look the same just smaller.

Your body reflects your physical activity. So you must move to shape your body. Fasting does not allow you to always do that. I have fasted and exercised for years. But that isn't something everyone can do. I can do that because my metabolism is much slower than average (that isn't a good thing). It also means I have a harder time losing weight.

I am not going to tell you can't lose weight fasting. It is totally possible with the right lifestyle change. It is important to be honest of why you are so fat to begin with. Diet? Mental health? Activity level? These all contribute to ones body shape. Figure out why you are fat and make small changes, that way it is a lifestyle change and you are likely to stick with it than crash fasting.

Maybe your weight has to do with your eating habits? Make a plan to eat better. Stock your fridge with healthy foods. Maybe intermediate fast and break those fasts with whole foods and exercise. That is a sure way to lose a lot of weight and maintain your weight loss.

Sweets, at 18 you will NOT get saggy skin. I did a 33-day wf at 28 y/o and I had no saggy skin. Saggy skin-wise you will be *FINE* I will give you a signed promise note :)

How much weight you will lose does not depend on the fast. It depends on what will happen in the first 3 months *after* the fast. Post-fast binges are no joke. Have a solid plan and a support system. I regained all weight I lost on the 33 days, even though I completed the 33 days. The fast is not the main event, THE REFEEDING is the main event, and not just the immediate 2/3 days.

If your goal is weight loss, WF is not the best way to go about it. juicing is (don't forget vit B12 and Omega3!). You can sustain juicing longer, you still get vitamins and minerals, you can exercise and continue to build strength while you juice, and the refeeding is easier.

y dont u mix it up? water, coconut water, lemon water, and juicing and even raw food?
i like Philip McCluskey. he lost 200 lbs doing just that and he gives lots of tips and sagging skin which he overcame. its really important that u do enemas or colonics and body brush, there r vizualization techniques, pressure points etc. check out the gabriel method, he also lost 200lbs and has no sagging skin. obesity is an epidemic and there is loads of material available on search engines and you tube. loads of people losing 100lbs fasting but more so juice than water. also w juice fasting u dont have to worry about not getting nutrients and starving and can work out etc. if ur skin does sag, people w the same experience (google it) say in 2 years ur skin will shrink back. i agree that at ur age since u still have loads of collagen and elastin u wont have a problem. give urself hearty massages w coconut oil. or at least a natural oil bc ur skin will absorb it esp if its hungry :)

iv done 15 days on water and 30 days on juice. juice makes me crazy hungry so what i find works for me is coconut water. i live in a tropical place tho. so i can get coconuts at the grocery store.

First of all, yes, you'll have excess skin problems. But that is easily fixable (by an operation). There is no way to avoid it.

The second thing i wanna tell you is: don't do it to yourself!!! Change your lifestyle. Start eating a healthy and balanced diet, exercise, and you'll see it will work like magic.
If you fast, you'll lose weight too fast and then you'll gain it all back once you're back to eating.
It's shocking for your body! Your body will start burning less calories because it will get used to the fact it needs to save it because you don't feed it.
It's the worst thing you can do to yourself.
