how much weight can i lose when fasting?

[pettoon]

I am doing a normal water fast starting on Monday and was wondering how much weight you think i will lose on it? Plan on going 5 days initially then seeing how i feel and then going day by day. my stats currently are 5'11" and 245 pounds and I am 22% body fat. I am reading Steve's Ebook on it and am using that as my reference.

You can lose as much as you want fasting, do your best and try with 72hours.

how would we know? we are not psychics here... everyone is different on what they are able to lose

You could also try eating less at 22% bodyfat. It'd be no good fasting then going back to what you're doing right now

you would lose 1.5-2 pounds per day at your size once you get into ketosis which will probably be really fast. when you start noticing you are pissing out more than you are taking in then you will know. what you are doing is correct, take it one day at a time. never prolong fast with days laid out, be flexible.

Hard to say but you will likely lose a bunch up front due to water weight.

The number depends on about a million factors. None of which we will know
