Ever tried water fasting? (Only drinking water)

Question

I’ve been trying to lose weight and dieting and exercising is just keeping my weight steady. I’ve looked into water fasting and wanted to know if anyone has ever tried it before.

Answer

If you starve yourself, you will severely slow down your metabolism and gain even more weight in the long run. I did this, I ruined my metabolism. I’m not working with a registered dietitian and it’s honestly changed my life.

Answer

Sounds like an eating disorder to me

Answer

You need to eat or else your body goes into starvation mode and holds onto fat.

Answer

When i was in my early 20s i did it. Went from 170 to 128. Then i started passing out randomly. My eyes got hollow and dark circles, im in my thirties now and still have the dark circles. I ran into someone i hadnt seen in awhile and they thought i was doing chemo because my face looked empty and i lost so much so fast. 
Then i met my husband and i started to eat again and i went over 170 pounds because i had starved my body for so long that it went into emergency mode and held onto every single calorie i put in my mouth. So yeah i tried it. And no i would never recommend it

Answer

Intermittent fasting is a great way to lose weight, and people have been fasting for 1,000s of years, do not let people discourage you from trying it. Just make sure you stick to whichever type of fasting you choose and not combine methods because that can be dangerous. Some people do a 48-72 hour clear liquid fast once every month. Others, like myself, fast for 14-20 hours a day and eat an adequate amount of calories when not fasting the other hours. Fasting can help with inflammation, weight loss, detox, and overall health. I recommend starting with a small fasting goal and work your way up. I use the fastic app and it’s great for setting goals, learning about fasting, and reminding you when to eat/fast! Good luck and don’t let others discourage you!

Answer

This just sounds like starvation and an eating disorder.

Answer

Please do not do this. Please also do not follow any recommendations for any diets as mentioned in other comments or online especially if you are having disordered eating behaviors or developing an eating disorder. Please seek medical, nutrition, and mental health.

Answer

Water fasting is intended to remove toxins out of your body. It generally, helps your body heal. It's not meant for weightloss.

Answer

Please don’t do that! It’s not safe at all. Consider cutting back on drinks and only drink water and lowering your carb/sugar intake a little. 
If you have been unsuccessful in losing weight and have been trying multiple ways to loose weight, go get your hormones checked. For me, I was 31 when diagnosed with PCOS - so I’ve cut out gluten and dairy and I’m finally losing weight. 
But water alone, heavens no!

Answer

Losing weight is more efficient when you just eat healthier . Because if you fast and don’t eat your body hangs on to fat and when you eat again it can increase weight more . Exercise too, but the diet makes up a bigger percentage for it.
