healthy living weight lossHow much weight can I lose in 2 days if I only drink water?
Also to know is, how much weight can you lose by only drinking water?
That means that if you drink only water (or fluids that contain no calories), in 9 days you will lose one pound of fat.
Also to know is, how much weight can you lose fasting for 2 days?
In this review, intermittent fasting was found to reduce body weight by 3-8% over a period of 3-24 weeks (2). When examining the rate of weight loss, people lost about 0.55 pounds (0.25 kg) per week with intermittent fasting, but 1.65 pounds (0.75 kg) per week with alternate-day fasting (2).
The water weight you lose will come back quickly, but that fat loss is real. You can expect to lose ~1-2 pounds per day, but consider this a nice benefit, not the primary motivation. If you're doing it for fat loss you might do it too long or ignore signs to stop.
