Re: Water fast day 8, am I losing too fast?


Hi Tzel,

"I'm on day 8, started on a juice fast, but I've switched to water. I'm down from 127 to 116.5 and I'm 5'3 3/4" Every other fast I've done has caused a weight loss of .5 pounds per day after the first couple of days. I just don't know what's going on, is this okay? What if I get down below 18.5 BMI, am I messing my body up? Any help is appreciated!"

I believe it is very normal to lose this much weight, much of it water, most of which will likely return within a couple weeks of breaking your fast (the water loss, not the fat loss).

My only surprise is that you didn't lose more water in previous fasts, unless they were juice fasts as i would expect the water loss to be a lot less steep in that case.

I believe you are losing about .3 lbs per day of fat plus any additional from whatever exercise you may be doing. It sounds like you are doing great.

How much longer do you plan to go?
