I Am A Female Who Is 5 Feet 5 And Weighs 115 Pounds. If I Were To Fast For 12 Days How Much Weight Would I Lose?
So eat healthy and do regular exercise to remain fit in long run.
Suggest that you do not fast, because that will slow your metabolism down to a crawl, or shut it down completely. Which will cause you problems in the future, once you start to eat normally again.
Check on-line, etc., for a height and weight chart to see what your average weight should be.
First off, at 5'5 and 115 pounds, you are already well within the normal weight range for someone your height.
The normal range is 114 - 144 pounds.
Considering that alone, it doesn't seem like you would have too much left to lose.
Nevertheless, lets look at what would happen:
At 115 pounds, the amount of calories your body would need to maintain it's current weight would be: Bodyweight (115) x 15 = 1,725 calories/day.
If you were not eating anything at all, and only drinking water, you'd be at a daily deficit of 1,725 calories.
It takes 3,500 calories to burn 1 pound...so assuming you somehow managed to eat absolutely nothing for 12 days, that is:
1,725 x 12 = 20,700 / 3,500 = 5.9 pounds.
Chances are you'd loose a few pounds of water weight as well, so I would guess between 6-9 pounds.
If you're going to fast, you should look into intermittent fasting, which has you fasting at most for 2 24 hour periods within 1 week...
Another variation has you fasting for 16 hours each day and fitting all your meals in the remaining 8 hour window.
Bottom line though, don't look for any quick fix that will put your health at risk...it won't result in any long term results anyways. Find a proven diet/exercise routine that works, stick to it and implement it to a T.
I don't know about you but I am anorexic and have been struggling with it and I eat less than 200 calories a day and I lose about 1 pound a day.
Best of luck
