Not a doctor, and this is just anecdotal, but I lost 60 pounds in 3 months, a couple years ago (6'4" -- went from 260lbs to 200). So that was about 0.6lbs a day. (I think that's actually on the low range of metabolism -- some people can do more like 1-2lbs a day fasting). Honestly, there were no side effects other than my back problems went away, I stopped snoring, and I felt better. Even with fasting, I just think your body has enough time to catch up when it's just a pound a day or whatnot. (Btw, you know what the world record for fasting is? 382 days. I'm not recommending that, I like food, but, as long as you get enough nutrients not to get something like scurvy and you consult with a doctor the human body is a lot more adaptable than people realize) |
