    Simple answer is no then? Whats with the useless posts that do not pertain the question? Also your body doesn't lose lean muscle mass from one day. It will use the energy storage which is fat, simple.

    I also dislike useless posts in threads HOWEVER I don't know how in the world anyone could gather a coherent question from the words you typed.

    ^^this! what kind of fasting were you referring to? dieting with water? does this mean adding water to a diet or is it a diet of just water? and by water, do you mean just water or can you add something to it - like tea. your question was vague at best.

    Ask an actual Medical Doctor what they think about that idea. I would bet the farm that that would be a big No! there captain.

    No, first you have to find the magic sparkly unicorn poo powder. Then you need to climb the rainbow and find the leprechaun and make him give up the big pot of gold. Then you need to steal the gold and go buy the water from the fountain of youth, but first you have to find it. Get the map that Ponce De Leon left, which was hidden by the Seminole Indians in the depths of the Everglades. Pay no attention to the alligators and pythons, they don't eat much.

    You can, but I don't think it will end well for you. Just doesn't sound like a good idea.

    You body cleanses itself, which is why we poop & pee.

    Do you mean, should you water fast for a day before going on a diet?

    No.

    Rude remarks you are likely to get:

    - You should drink water multiple times a day
    - Taking showers is advised
    - Could you do it forever? No? Then don't start what you can't continue because it's a waste of time

    Showering is always good. Baths are also fun. :flowerforyou:

    So we are talking about one day when all you consume is water and then go on the diet?

    No - it's not necessary to do this.

    Read the sexy pants link somebody else posted above - work out a reasonable calorie deficit, log everything you consume, weighing and measuring everything, do some exercise and just keep at it - it will take time, so be patient.

    I always lose 5 pounds of water weight when I first start eating at a deficit. It's pretty normal, though it doesn't happen to everyone.
