    I've never personally done it, but to me it doesn't even sound pleasant or healthy. Just eat a deficit and you will lose weight. To get rid of water weight just try to drink more water and balance your sodium with potassium.

    I would think once you started drinking water again the weight would come back but the loss of pounds would be water weight, not fat.

    A water fast does not mean you don't drink water, it means you consume nothing BUT water.

    You will be miserable and hungry and it wont do anything more than lose and gain the same few pounds....but usually people just do it anyway.

    Le sigh......just make sure you won't bump your head if you feel like fainting

    I would surely end up in jail, having murdered someone in a state of utter rage and starvation.

    If you try it, dial "91" on your cell phone so that all you have to do is hit "1" again and you can get help.

    Stop with the fad diets. They don't work.

    Make it a lifestyle change.
    Eat at a deficit.
    Do strength training.

    10lbs a week? That doesn't sound healthy. Maybe try 5lbs a month to start.

    I think you're looking for quick fixes, which do not exist in the same universe as real, lasting loss of fat.

    Give calorie reduction and exercising a whirl. You'll look good this summer.

    This is a ludicrous idea. Period. Eat at a deficit, move your *kitten* and the pounds will come off.
