How much weight will I lose if I don't ear for a week?
Question Posted Thursday October 22 2009, 10:44 pm
I need to know how much I will lose if I don't eat for a week? I researched it, and most people say 21lbs...I know that it is a dangerous thing but I tend to drink water a lot anyways and maybe eat a K bar ever once and awhile. I'm also trying to fast. is there anything I should know?

Starving yourself for a week, even a day is stupid! It throughs your whole system off whack. Makes you irratable, and cranky.
Say good bye to healthy skin! Not to mention oily hair. Stomach pains out the wazoo!
The lack of sugar to your brain causes you to be slow inatentive, and makes it hard to focus! Also you will get serious head aches
YOU WILL LOOSE WEIGHT! But after the 7 days when you do eat again your body won't disgard anything usless for the food you intake! Instead it will be in hibernation preperation. It will store EVERYTHING incase you descide to go for another week without eating.
So if you wanna "starve" yourself because you think you have to, then you already have emotional drama that needs fixing!
I suggest exercise, fruits and veggies.

You should know that ambulance rides can be very expensive and figure out if your insurance covers them or not. And that fainting really scares everybody around you.
2 to 3 pounds is the most a person should aim to loose in a week unless they are morbidly obese. To lose more than that, you should be speaking to a doctor, and your weight loss should be guided and monitored by a professional.
If you actually attempt not to eat for a week, I hope you faint early into day three, so you don't do yourself any serious harm before you end up in a doctor's office getting a stern talking too. I also hope you have competent parents who get you some actual help for your weight, and a therapist to help talk you out of such things in the future.
It's good that know it's dangerous. You seem to be missing the part where it is stupid and doesn't work. If you put your body into starvation mode like that, you’ll gain it all back the moment you begin to eat again. If you don't eat again, while then you've crossing the line from dangerous and stupid, to deadly and suicidal. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
