How Much Weight Will I Lose on a Water Fast
During fasting the organism is fully transferred to the internal nutrition
supply, based on a fat accumulation of person. For the normal life during
the day, with full water fasting the organism is enough for 300-400 grams of
fat, which is formed during the decomposition of glucose, which is the main
human activity.
With full transition
to internal power supply is at such a number of programs and you will lose
weight for the day. But the transition to internal power supply does not
occur immediately.
This requires some
time, whose duration depends on your experience with fasting, and a number
of other reasons. The average time for such a transition - 5-7 days, but
some people crisis comes later. Basically, this relates to beginners, who
switch to internal power supply can be extended even up to 10-11 days. Prior
to the onset of this transition, which is called the acidotic crisis of
weight loss is much greater and often is 1 kg per day. When the obesity and
weight loss at beginners these days can be even more - up to 1,5-2 kg per
day. The onset of acidotic crisis shows a complete transition to internal
power. The organism begins a very economical use of its resources. Weight
reduction is slowed down, initially to 500 grams per day, and then to
300-350 grams per day. This weight loss usually lasts for the duration of
fasting even though the physical load. With regular use of fasting of the
organism quickly passes to the inner power and is able to more economical
use of its own fat, so weight loss may be less.
That's how the
schedule will look like weight loss during water fasting:
1 to 7 day fasting -
about 1 kg per day;
from 7 to 10 day -
500 grams per day;
10 days and the
entire subsequent period of fasting loss weight is 300-350 grams per day.
