Answers:
depriving your body of nutrients, even for a day, is not going to help you or your metabolism!. Metabolism speeds up when you eat plenty of times throughout the day, but little meals at a time!. So, if you only have water for one day, it really slows metabolism down because it has no new energy sources to burn as fuel!.
I would get away from the calorie counting, and do what the Europeans do - eat slowly and stop when you are no longer hungry!. this is not the same thing as full!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it's counter productive!. you have to remember that the body is a very complex machine that runs 24 hours a day 365 days a week!. it never stops requiring calories and nutrients!. the body doe not have the storage capacity for most micronutrients, like vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants!. when ingested it uses what it needs then excretes the rest in the feces and urine!. so when you wake up for a new day the body requires these nutrients but not eating or water fasting is providing no nutrients for the various biologically processes that run the body!.

if you over eat one day the next day you can just consume a lower amount of calories but definetly not zero calories!. in terms of weight loss the caloric intake over the course of the week matters more than the day to day caloric intake!. but you have to also think about the health and all of these biological process that need nutrients from the diet!.

eating healthy isn't just about calories the nutrients are just as important!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Fasting is a dangerous method to use in dieting!. After about 18 hours, your body stops processing fat naturally and begins to process muscle tissue for energy!. 1200 calories per day is a bare minimum for survival!. If you go "way over" this goal of bare minimum, you shouldn't really need to play catch-up!. If you really feel that you need to fast, make sure that it is less than 18 hours and followed by a high-protein meal!.

In my reading, it has become clear that dieting is only a tool to become skinnier, but it doesn't necessarily make you healthier!. It is far healthier to eat a normal diet and increase the amount of exercise you do!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's perfectly ok if you don't do it too often, like once a week!. It sure as hell is better than bullimia and not as detrimental to your overall health!.!.!.(i answered your other question and ran into this one after reading through the questions in this category, small world huh!)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I cant see it being beneficial!.!.!. It's not a healthy option!. You need to just know that tomorrow is another day, just because you went silly today doesn't mean you whole regime is ruined!. Just hit the gym or go for a run you'll be fine! Don't do a water fast!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you're trying to lose weight, you know that going to the grocery store can feel like being asked to walk through a mine field!. It can be terribly hard to know which way to go and what to choose with so many foods all claiming that they can help you slim down fast!. Unfortunately, food manufacturers don't really care whether or not you lose weight with their product, they just their foods to taste good enough that you continue to buy from them regardless of the damage it may do to your waistline!.

So, if you can't believe the health claims on the food packages in the store, how are you supposed to tell whether or not a particular food will help you lose weight or if it will only make you fatter!? Become a label reader! Regardless of what the front of the package says, manufacturers are required to list their ingredients on the back!. Reading labels will help you make better choices and lose weight faster!. Avoid the following foods like the plague and watch your bathroom scale take a nosedive!.

1!. High Fructose Corn Syrup - This is number one of the foods that create fat!. Up until the past 35 years, almost all the sugar we ate was in the form of sucrose!. It was produced from sugar cane and beets!. The danger of pure corn fructose is in the fact that it is without enzymes, vitamins or minerals!. The energy required for the liver to metabolize fructose forces the body to overuse its mineral and enzyme stores!. High fructose corn syrup seems disrupt metabolism to such a degree that collagen and elastin production are markedly reduced!. That's bad news if you suffer from cellulite! Eating this will make cellulite worse!.

2!. Cooking oil - Corn oil, canola oil, soybean oil and cottonseed oil are the cheapest cooking oils produced!. They are used most often in the home and in restaurants!. Unfortunately, they are so high in polyunsaturated fats that they are not healthy!. They also oxidize much faster than other fats which generates free radicals and damages all the body's cells!. Many degenerative diseases and certain cancers have been linked to this process!. Healthier cooking oil options are unrefined coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil!.

3!. Hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oil - This deadly type of oil is also known as "trans fatty acids"!. Deadly, heart clogging stuff and terrible for the waistline as well!. You will see this most often in pre-packaged snack foods, coffee creamer and commercial peanut butter!. If this stuff is anywhere on the ingredient list, don't eat it!

4!. Low fat or fat free snacks - Labeling food as "low-fat" or "fat free" has been really good for food manufacturers bottom lines, but not so good for consumers!. These types of snacks, while they may be low in fat, are extremely high in sugar!. Most often that sugar comes in the form of high fructose corn syrup!. Research also shows that people overeat foods labeled as low fat!. People think that the low fat foods contain about 25% less calories when in reality they only contain about 10-15% fewer calories!. There is also a decreased sense of consumption guilt so people generally eat about 20% more of these so called healthy foods!.

5!. Soda - Both diet and regular sodas are basically carbonated chemical soups plus high fructose corn syrup or dangerous artificial sweeteners!. There are absolutely no redeeming nutritional qualities in soda at all!. Soda contains no vitamins, no minerals and no enzymes!.If you crave a flavored drink without the calories, try a flavored herbal tea sweetened with stevia instead!.

The bottom line is this, in order to lose weight fast it's an absolute necessity that you eliminate the foods that create fat and replace them with foods that burn fat!.
