Please take just a quick second to read the last question I asked. Go to my page and click on the one that says have you ever thought of having an eating disorder? I know what you are doing, feeling, going through.

The problem with fasting - as that's what you were doing by only consuming water for two days - is that most of the time the first few days you lose muscle mass, as well as fat. So while you might weigh less, you're more unhealthy, and your body will metabolize food slower per day now because of the loss in muscle mass.

From reading a lot myself (as I have about 12 pounds to lose, still) the best thing to do is eat a well balanced diet, at your normal daily required level of calories. While doing that, exercise, and sweat - a lot. It's hard that way, but if you exercise enough (say 1 hour or so per day of cardio / pilates, aerobic type exercise) you can lose one pound per day, safely.

You're kind of starving yourself. I mean you're doing like a detox by cleaning out your system but that's only for 3 days and you eat apples or grapes. I mean if you want to lose weight quick you could walk on a empty stomach and have plenty of water first thing in the morning.
