How much weight can you lose in 4 days on a water fast?

Some sources claim that you can lose up to 2 pounds (1 kg) during a 24 to 72-hour water fast. However, this has no scientific backing. You should also know that any weight lost during this time is most likely not from fat but from water stored in the body. As soon as you start to eat and drink fluids as normal, the scale will go right back to the initial number.

Is fasting for 4 days bad for you?

Yes, it is. Going without food and water or with just very little food and water for more than 24 hours straight is not recommended unless it is done under medical supervision. It can put your health and life at risk.

What happens if you only eat 1 meal a day?

While eating one meal a day (aka OMAD or 23:1 intermittent fasting ) has become quite popular, it isn’t suitable for everyone. Eating just once in 24 hours can lead to extreme fatigue, reduced energy levels causing you to feel weak and shaky, mood swings, concentration problems, and feelings of extreme hunger.

What are the benefits of fruit fasting?

There are no scientifically proven benefits of fruit fasting. It is a fad diet just like juicing. If you want to try this diet as a means of losing weight or increasing your fruit intake, we suggest reducing your calorie intake by at least 500 kcal per day or simply eating fruits as snacks between meals throughout the day.
