This is a common question people ask when they get the idea to lose the extra weight they gained over the winter. For the most part, the answer is no, you cannot lose 20 lbs in 2 weeks by water-fasting. It may sound like you can, but the reality is that you'll shed water weight before gaining muscle and leaving you with a small loss and a lot of disappointment. If you're looking to fast to lose 20 lbs, you should consider longer fasts where you don't consume food for a week or two.
A lot of people have seen the latest diet trends and wonder if water-fasting is an effective way to lose weight in a short amount of time. Yes, you can lose between one and two pounds each day while water-fasting. It's not recommended to go longer than two weeks, as you may experience weight loss to the point of causing harm to your body if you continue. Also, while you are losing weight, you can also expect to loose muscle and bone mass along with it. If you're looking to lose weight, stick to a well-balanced diet, regular exercise, and a healthy lifestyle. It will take a few months, but you'll see great results instead of experiencing organ failure and dying!
Weight loss can be accomplished in just a few days with a water fast. If you are serious about losing weight, then you should consider a detox diet, like a water fast. Doing this can give you quick, healthy weight loss. While it's possible to follow a diet that is low in calories and fat, and high in nutrients, your body still needs a break from all of the different types of food it has been absorbing. You can then start eating healthier and lose weight with a water fast.
