Because you know what you're doing is unhealthy yet you continue to do it anyway, and you are afraid of showing your family your eating habits, and you're afraid of gaining weight from eating "normally," I worry that you might have an eating disorder. Please see a professional.0

I am sorry to say this but you will probably notice the first time you eat "normal". Right now you're starving your body so it will hold on to every little thing you eat. I imagine with your exercise you are probably consuming zero calories a day. Your body will rebel and it won't be good. Please stop consuming only apples and start eating real food. Continue with the walking and situps but fuel that exercise and then promise to never treat your body that way again.0

So why do you need to lose weight fast? You can lose weight and be healthy by eating three healthy meals a day, just keep your calories over 1200. 4 or 5 apples a day is way too little to eat. Go back home and enjoy your week with your friends and family. You only want to lose 15 lbs total, you should do it slowly. It won't stay off if you don't adjust your lifestyle. Be nice to your body. Don't starve it. That never works for the long haul. And I'm talking from experience. Little changes make all the difference. Good luck!0

If you're overweight it's fine. As long as you're eating something with potassium in it, you'll be fine. Apples have potassium so you're good. If you're within 10 pounds of your goal weight, do some resistance exercises and it'll show much faster. Pushups, sittups, and other things of that nature.
As for your question. It's is too general. Can't really give you a good answer but i'll try, weight gain can be noticed within a day. It all just depends on how much you eat. Eating carbs will be more noticeable on the scale since carbs bind to water molecules to be stored in your muscles and liver. When your muscles and liver are both full of carbs and you continue to eat them, it will start to spill over to your gut or other places in your body, which means that if you're not exercising on this vacation, you can expect to see the spill over the next day assuming you just eat and don't exercise. Since this is a week long vacation, you can alternate days that you eat carbs and don't eat carbs. You can just eat a lot of protein on the days you skip carbs and you'll pee it out if you eat too much. I've read that your body can convert protein into fat but even if that's the case, your body will have to spend 1 extra step and require more ATP(energy) for converting protein to a glucose. That's just an assumption based off of my limited knowledge but it should work.0 -
Watch this girl.
She is awesome, and she explains why you need to eat more than just 4 apples a dayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4fKr4o0Yc4

OP either you are a troll or you have a very warped idea about weight loss and need professional help for an eating disorder.
I suspect the former.0 -

No, it's not fine. How eating 4-5 apples a day plus exercising equals 'fine', I don't know. Apples are also carb-ilicious, mind.
OP, start eating more, or at least more calorie-dense foods (healthy, of course). I don't see any use in losing weight for a short holiday only to end up putting all the weight back on later.
As for when you're at home, just log. Stay within your calorie goal, try not to go over. If you do it right, you may end up losing a couple of pounds whilst being at home for two weeks than spending your days eating 5 apples.0 -

This has to be a troll or April Fool. Anyone suggesting living on apples is fine needs certifying. The POWs in Aushwitz and Colditz had more food than that.
OP, if you are genuine, get professional help.0 -

Where did I say that living off of apples for the rest of your entire life is a good thing? She wants to cut some weight as fast as she can in a short amount of time. There is nothing wrong with that.0 -

OP, you only want to lose 7kg anyway.... you wont look like a 'whale' in your bikini....
eat! with a moderate caloric deficit and do some exercise.... simple as that!0 -
Anyone who has ever had influenza or gastroenteritis will be able to tell you how long the weight will stay off - about 3-4 days after you start to eat properly you'll be back to square one.
I lost over 9lbs in a week when I had 'flu last year but within a week I was back to my normal weight and that wasn't pigging out, just eating normal food after a week of virtually nothing (I'd consider eating only a few apples a day as virtually nothing!).
With so little to lose this isn't the right way to go about it and long term, it just won't work at all.0 -
I can't just live on apples....Very unhealthy diet.....Hope you change your ways else you will have eating disorder....Not even diet...its just plain starvation0

I agree I had lost 7 pounds in 3 days when I had cold, sore throat ...the weight came back in two days or normal eating..0 -
What your doing is silly and definitely not a long term thing. As soon as you begin to eat normal amounts, you will gain weight.0
