Will you lose weghit if you only drink water for a week or 2??
How to LOSE weight?
First, determine from the information below, what your weight should be. Then set yourself goals of a week, 2 weeks, a month, 3 months, 6 months and a year. As you see yourself meeting your goals it becomes easier. Remember, you didn't gain your weight overnight so don't expect to lose if overnight. Plus, weight lost slowly is more likely to stay off than weight lost in a hurry.

"How can I Lose 1 pound of body weight per week?"
One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.
But it's not a good idea to lose weight simply by cutting calories. As well as decreasing calories you should increase your daily physical exercise. This helps to burn calories and build more lean tissue which in turn burns more calories.
"What should a minimum calorie intake be?"
As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.

Another thing that helps to lose weight is to always eat a good breakfast. That helps to jump start your metabolism which helps start burning calories. Also, try to drink 8 eight ounce glasses of water every day. One before every meal (except breakfast) and before all snacks. That helps curb your appetite which helps reduce caloric intake.

No. when you drink only water for two weeks, you will not be getting proper nutrition. Thus, your body will make up for it by taking fat from your fat storage and causes you to gain more weight. Also, water weight would be a major problem. I have tried many diets, and stuff like that does not work. This is because your body will get used to that water for two weeks, you will become weak and poorly nutricioned and then when you eat normally again, gain all the weight back. Just cut back on sweets and drink more water throughout the day. no need to limit it to water.
Definatly - but you'll fall to pieces because your only drinking water. Not healthy not recommended. Go the good old fashioned route, exercise and a healthy diet. Theres no fast fix way to loose weight without doing yourself long term harm or damage.
