Hello, what do u guys think about fasting to lose weight? How much weight can you lose in a 2 week period by fasting? Just wondering I need to lose at least 20 pounds in 2 weeks....Anyone know anything about fasting? and if it is at all possible to lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks by not easting at all. Thanx alot! Bye bye bye

I am on a medical fast - this is a program run by Harris Medical Resources. It consists of several programs, but the one I chose is drinking five "milkshakes" (a packet of nutrient supplement mixed with water) per day, plus two vitimin supplements. I have lost 7 lbs. in one week so far --- HOWEVER - each week I am checked by a nurse for blood pressure, pulse rate, etc. and talk with a medical doctor. Every two weeks they do blood work. Fasting can be very dangerous if not watched carefully. You might check into this program if you seriously want to lose that much weight quickly - bear in mind that some of that weight is going to be water loss. Good luck.

Hi Syndi, I agree with you. Should be supervised!

Tinka, 20 pounds in 2 weeks? Please say you aren't considering doing this. Unless you have a doctor watching your results of course. Sorry. Just aren't any short cuts when it comes to your health. You can't starve the pounds off. You are suppose to eat. No event is worth it. :( You want to look good for a lifetime, not a weekend.

Good Luck :)
