How much fat will I lose if I starve myself for 20 days?

[MultiNat99]

I know this is like the 5th question that I have asked on this subject, but I would appreciate it if I got a staight answer. No rude remarks or insults. And I especially don't want any "Oh this can harm you" stuff because I am well aware of that. Just answer, please and thank you.

You won't last that long; you'll pass out long before that. Lack of potassium will cause a heart attack if the EMTs don't find you first.

you will lose more muscle mass than fat. and once you start eating again you'll put it all back on and more. i'm not being rude, this is a straight answer.

Most 5 pounds, or a little more.


Depends on you weight right now

[shawnhataracist275]

up to 1 to 3 pounds a day..but by the time you reach 20 days ..you will be to sick to notice

[sal1970090]

it depends on your starting point. the more obese you are, the more
you'll lose, assuming you're not dead at the end of the 20 days.
diet and exercise would be a more practical way to lose weight than
starvation.

You are more likely to lose muscle than fat. Your body goes into starvation mode and will do everything it can to hold onto as much fat as possible. Fat has more energy than protein, so your body holds onto it for the long haul.

Obviously its not healthy, but you are going to do what you want. But starving yourself is not a good fat loss strategy, because your bodies natural reaction is to do this opposite.

Well, you WILL lose weight but it will be your muscles as well and you will also get sick and when you eventually start feeding yourself again, your body will turn into pure fat whatever you eat.
Bottom line: not a good idea!
Try drinking green tea, detox tea, stop eating after 18:00 pm, lay off juices, except freshly squeezed fruit ones, avoid processed fats and you'll lose fat.

I'm not trying to go against your rules, no doubt you will loose a lot of weight in the short term, but this will actually make you gain much more weight in the long term. Your body adjusts, and if you deprive it, whatever excess it will automatically turn to fat. You will train your body to think it may be starved again, and try to carry much more fat. My answer is, if you survive you will loose a lot of weight in the short run, but in the long run you will gain past where you currently are.

You're a fucking moron....

The reason you have to keep asking is because you aren't hearing the answer YOU wanna hear.

If you are aware that starving hurts your body, then why pursue it? Go exercise and eat right like the rest of the planet does to lose./maintain weight. Idiot....
