DO NOT FAST! because then when you start eating again, all ur weight will come back because your metabolism will have slowed! TRUST ME ON THIS! my best friend fasted for one week and now she weighs more, and is much hungrier than she used to be. TAKE MY ADVICE AND DONT DO IT!!!

i have tried fasting in fact i always use it to loose weight quickly however you have to be motivated and have the will power to keep going . it is not effective usually cause no matter how much you try to loose it will come straight back on when you start to eat normal again. cutting back is more effective exercise and healthy eating take it from someone who has been there done that

Fasting is a great way to get a host of disease. If you must fast, do it in spurts not all at once. And inbetween eat fruits and veges, plus lots of fresh juice. vegetable and fruit juice is filled with nutrients your body needs and can uses. If you are going to fast, go on a JUICE FAST. Their are many books written on the subject. You can even make pulp cookies out of the pulp for fiber. YOU NEED NUTRITION.

Well fasting is not all bad if you do it right...i fast for religious reasons and i find that ive lost about 5lb's in like a week and a half...it all depends on how you eat...like me when were fasting were supposed to eat like in the morning like at 5am like a light meal..full of fiber and stuff thatll sustain u for the rest of the day and we break our fast like at 5pm and ur not supposed to over eat...i usually eat a small meal with alot veggies...and around 7 i usually exercise and i dont eat after that...im never usually hungry...but i dont do this everyday...its just a month that we do it...after that i come back to my normal eating habits..so fasting is not bad as long as u do it RIGHT...but its not something that u shuld do all the time

well- first of all people probably think that fasting is bad because- hmmm- lets see IT IS BAD! ok- well i think that it is treating your body bad and it's make your metabolism slower-= make you weaker and you'll gain all of that weight back and more. you need to be more patient. and also- if you are going to fast make sure that it is doctor supervised- which your doctor will prbably tell you not to do it- but anyways- that's the safest way. good luck destroying your body! i really do hope you decide against it...
