Im 18 and 5'7 and currently weigh 140lbs. Ive heard that with a fast such as this you can lose up to 30 to 40 pounds, which is kinda scary cause i would become very underweight, but last summer I weighed 115 and was a tad underweight, but if i come to that I will break my fast. This fast is not to only lose weight but to cut the addiction process.
Gah wish me luck and I will keep u updated  |
Do you know the dangers and chances of them? Like you could be killed by terrorists but so can anyone. The biggest danger of fasting is since blood pressure becomes lower than normal, if you get up too fast, you can pass out, fall and split your head open.
So the pro fasters constantly warn people about this. It would really be death by stupidity. Second biggest danger is after fasting 10 days potassium can drop too low and you can die. Chances of this are about 1 in 100.
Then you also need to break the fast slowly. See this site on
Fasting / Lemonade Diet for more on this and quotes from 19 different medical doctors about fasting. Also the site explains that you are not going to lose 30 pounds in 30 days.
The thinner you are, the slower you lose the weight. If you were 350 pounds then maybe you could lose that much. A lot of the focus of this webpage is about fasting to lose weight. Have you ever fasted 10 days? Maybe you can try that first. Do not get me wrong. If you are being supervised by a doctor on this fast then you have nothing to worry about. He will monitor your blood and watch over you. Also do not trust things that you heard.
