is water fasting a good way to lose weight fast?

[scenefiend]

i need to lose weight as quick as possible and im thinking of just doing a 5 day water fast and im wondering if water fasting is the best method for losing weight fast.

Sort of. People will tell you its pointless because you lose water weight and gain it all back anyway, but in my experience (most I've gone is 10 days) you gain maybe half* of it back. Big tradeoff to the quick weight loss is losing muscle- you might wanna do some light lifting while on the fast (obviously not a great idea to do a full workout). I've read its diminishing returns/ starts veering into being unsafe after the 14 day mark.

Fasting is starvation. Just eat an ideal diet and you will be metabolically healthy. Eat raw meat, eggs, dairy and drink urine.

Go longer than 5 days. 4/5 days is pretty much the mark at which you start seeing any benefits. Just make sure to take potassium and electrolyte supplements with your water

Why don’t you just see if you can make it to the 11th?
