It could be dangerous. Too much water and not enough other substances can be deadly. Please check with your doctor or look at healthier ways to lose weight. One and only one of many, is the Virtual Gastric Band Hypnosis, which you can read about on my site. i am in Rockalnd County, New York, but other providers both of the model that I use, or other methods may be helpful...but don't do it in a way that is dangerous.

Different people have different ideas on that. Part of the question is how good a shape are you in, in general. People who go on fasts and drink only water for several days, find that they loose 7 pounds the first day, a little less the next day, a little less the next day, and it begins to level off. A couple of days would do little harm, if you drink water and take supplements. Consult a doctor.

Seattle Sutton's Healthy Eating - East Mesa image

There are many cultures and religions that include fasting of various durations. I am not a Doctor or a Dietitian and I would certainly recommend you check with your doctor before fasting.

Be aware of over hydrating. That has killed people!

I would not use the fasting as an excuse to binge eat; the day before or after. I worry that the body is smart and will become more effecient on less food = eat less and gain weight. You will have to see what your body does. Me... I don't have the will power to go past a 24hr religious fast.

They key to a healthy diet is to have one that you can live with every day. Most people gain weight because they have lost touch with the number of calories that they are consuming in one day. Seattle Sutton’s Healthy Eating is real, freshly prepared food that will help you lose weight and regain your sense of portion control. It is convenient – healthy – calorie controlled eating.

If this is a way to lose weight; I would not recommend it. Because you will gain every ounce you lose right back when you start eating 2 days later. There are much healthier ways to lose weight.

If you are only drinking water because you are on a fast for religious reasons...well, that is a personal decision between you and your higher power. Do I think it is healthy..no.

I think water is a good option when you have nothing to eat..but it will not sustain you to get through life demands through out the day or provide you with the energy you need to do day to day things.

I hope this helps. :)

Best of luck to you.

Well you may loose weight, but in the same respect, your metabolism would slow way down so once you did eat something you would put it right back on (and then some). Drinking waters great, but you have to eat. In fact, it's sugested you eat 6 small meals a day for optimal weight loss.

It would not be the healthy way to lose weight. You need to eat from the various food groups in order to lose weight the healthy way. For example, protein, vegetables, and yes even a little fat just to name a few. That way you lose the fat and not too much lean muscle. How much weight do you want to lose?

Your body has fat for precisely such a scenario. You will find your metabolism will slow down to conserve your energy - not to mention you will have 2 very unhappy days. We highly discourage this sort of radical action.
You are far better served by working with a bariatric physician to get proper nutritional advice and legitimate means to real weight loss activities.

It is unhealthy to not eat any food for 2 days. You need your vitamins. You will be doing harm to your body. If you want to lose weight, I suggest to eat healthy options and drink water

there are people who fast (eat no food) and drink water to lose weight and it is usually done for a religious reason. If you have not health issues, doing this for a couple of days would cause no harm.

Yes. Water replaces our blood and fluids inside and outside of our cells. But what will rebuild our muscles and bones and skin? A well balanced diet of nutritious food.

Fasting should always be checked out with your doctor first. If you decide to fast remember any weight taken off during the fast will come right back on within 24 to 48 hours.
