What happens if you fast for a week?

My deranged friend is planning to and I need to hear specifics so I can troll the shit out of her for trying.

Oh and I'm semi concerned about her health and wellbeing etc.

-metabolism slows
-will gain all the weight back + more when regular diet resumes

Practically nothing if you don't have a health condition and don't start and stop improperly. Just make sure she eases into and out of it or else she can fuck up her system. She should probably start with shorter ones though, if she has any good health reasons for doing them at all.

Since you said "her" I'm going to guess she's just a teenage drama bitch who thinks she's fat and wants to lose weight the wrong way. If that's the case then smack her and cram a twinkie down her throat.

Are they completely starving themselves, or are they kind of doing a Ramadan-diet? Cause I fasted for Ramadan (not Muslim) which basically meant I had to eat before and after sunrise.
I didn't really notice much of a weight difference, but it helped me learn to control my appetite.
But other than that your friend's gonna fuck themselves up.

Some dj's on dutch radio did it to raise funds for the situations in Darfur (Afrika)

They drank only water and didnt eat for a week. But a nutritionist monitored them closely and made special fruit drinks for them to keep their health up. They also had to follow a special diet after that week, it was around christmas and supposedly, pigging out after being starved for a week can be fatal.

OP here.

Her mom's a bitch and is giving her a hard time about the 5 pounds she gained over christmas. To be fair on her part, I witnessed the comments first hand and they were pretty damn harsh.

She's not fat, just like every female in the world she thinks she is.

my mom just now got hit with a shit ton of food allergies (ie wheat, etc). She went on a water diet to get rid of everything (some taken weeks to show effects). After 5 days of excruciating headaches, and the whole 'not being ambulatory' thing, she was right as rain.

However, there are FAR healthier, easier, and funner ways to lose weight. Tell her she's a retard and that I hope she has fun cheating in the closet with her friend hostess

That kind of shit is terrible. My grandmother tried to starve me when I was at her place for a month, because I couldn't fit in a bridesmaid dress. I was 9. My aunt had to step in and literally save me.
Women can be really harsh to other women- I think it's your friends duty to stand up for herself. She can still lose the weight, but by no means starving herself.
Just about everybody gains weight over Christmas. Whatever.

Yeah, I think she has a massive lack of self esteem because her mom is so awful.

I don't know much about health issues and am actually quite concerned so I just needed some facts.

If she's fasting over weight issues, then tell her that'll actually make her fatter.
Try suggesting a calorie restricted diet instead. And tell her mom she's a dumb cunt.

Fasting is NOT the solution to weight issues. But... If she just wants to go by her weight on a scale I know that a short 3 day fast can help you drop like 2-3 kilos of water. It'll come back, but when the needle is 5 pounds lighter maybe that'll shut her mom up. Plus 3 days is easy and nowhere near as risky as 10.

Otherwise don't ever do long fasts unless you have real health reasons to do it.
