5 Day Water Fast

Comments

Read Now
 
I haven't been doing super awesome in this quarantine when it comes to my health and fitness goals. To try to get back on track with my goals I decided to embark on another fast, this time extending it to five days. Similar to my last fast, which was three days, I chose to continue to include some diet sodas and water enhancers but the majority of my intake was water. I made sure to add in electrolytes so that I wouldn't have muscle cramps and other side effects as well as limited my exercise significantly and added in some extra sleep each night. 

My results were actually really good on the weight loss front but I wouldn't recommend this as a purely weight loss tactic as it can be quite difficult and has a potential to cause issues with your mental view on food if you have issues in that realm. So, results:

I lost 10.3 pounds (but I gained 2 pounds back over the next two days so I would say just over 8 pounds in 5 days).

As for measurements, see below for the amounts I lost during the five days. 
Chest: -1.5 inches
Bust: -1.2 inches
Thigh: -2.0 inches
Hips: -0.5 inches
Belly Button: -1.5 inches
Waist: -1.5 inches
Arm: 0.00 inches
Neck: -0.3 inches
Calf: -1.0 inches

Total Inches: -9.5 inches

All in all, I would say it was a good experience but there were definite down sides. For instance, my energy levels were noticeably lower during the week. Watch the above video on my channel (subscribe for new content 3-5 times per week!) about the results and experience.

​Until next time,
