[quote=Anonymous]I’ve done 4 day water fast before for weight loss and I will share that even though yes, it works for weight loss in the short run (maybe lose 7-8 pounds with a 4 day) that it is really not helpful in the long run.

It completely destabilizes hunger cues and creates intertia for yo-yoing between overeating and restricting.

Over half the weight is water weight which then surges back and you bloat if you begin to try and eat more normally.

Also, the refeed takes a lot of mindfulness and is not fun.

Unless you are doing this for a health reason like autophagy it is just not a great choice

I would do a strict detox of foods (clear out ALL dairy, processed foods, carbonated drinks, high sugar, high salt) for about 1 weeks. This will naturally lower inflammation and you will easily lose 5 pounds of water weight.

Then I would do a -500 calorie cut per day.

You probably won’t get to a 15 pound loss but you could get to 8-10 pounds by early May and you will lose real fat, feel better, not starve yourself, and not have to worry about refeed and all that stuff[/quote]
