Here, according to the real experience in the past, I would like to share with you how many pounds you can lose without eating or drinking water for 1-3 days.
If you only drink water all day, the food in your stomach will be emptied. Without salt intake, your body will be slightly dehydrated. Together, these two effects can make the body lose 2-3 Jin.
1 kg fat can be decomposed to supply 7700 calories, and the basic metabolic calories of ordinary people in one day are 1500-2000 calories, which is equivalent to reducing 4500-6000 calories by not eating for three days. In other words, if you don't eat for three days, you can lose 1-2 Jin of fat and your stomach is empty. Compared with the weight before starting to lose weight, you can naturally lose 3-5 kg.
Drinking water without eating is an unhealthy and unrealistic way to lose weight. Most people can stick to 1 day, generally not more than 3 days, because if they are hungry for too long, they will feel dizzy, weak limbs, stomachache and drooling, and they can't do anything, and their minds are full of hunger signals.
Some of the weight lost by drinking water without eating is water, some is food left in the intestines, and the rest is fat. And because you don't eat for a long time, after you resume your diet, your body will reflexively absorb a lot of fat and nutrients to "prevent the next hunger", so your weight will rebound quickly.
Drinking water without eating is very harmful to health. If you always only drink water all day to lose weight, your body will be dragged down and your resistance will drop. The following two are the most common and easy to find hazards of losing weight by drinking only water.
Drinking water and not eating for the first three days may be able to persist. After a long time, the body can't get the necessary nutrients, such as iron, vitamins, minerals, protein and so on. , metabolism will slow down. After blood sugar and muscle glycogen are exhausted, malnutrition and anemia are prone to occur.
Losing weight by drinking water without eating will cause endocrine disorders and affect estrogen secretion. People who often skip meals all day are prone to irregular menstruation, less menstrual blood, delayed menstruation or even amenorrhea, which may eventually lead to infertility.
