How much weight can I drop water fasting for 3 weeks?

Hey, I am 5’2” and about 170-167lbs. I just want to get down some weight for an upcoming dance competition, so that I’ll look a little more graceful. Does anyone with similar stats know what I can expect to lose in three weeks with light exercise (stretching, abs, light cardio, and small weight/high rep training) ?

Thanks in advance!

Answer

I’m your stats twin. I went from 171-165 doing a 3.5 day fast (but I drank coffee with creamer and bone broth/fish stock).

I had a co-worker do on a 21 day water fast (not for weight loss, but other health related issues) and she dropped over 20lbs (she’s 5’8” and maybe 150lbs).

Answer

If you want to just count fast alone and not water or food weight, then perhaps a little less than .5 lb/day (just take what your caloric burn is that day). However if your body gets excited that it has free access to your fat stores, it might rev up and burn lots and lots of fat (more calories) than it normally would! But I would lean on the low side so then no matter what you’re excited about whatever happens as a bonus!
