It might show instant drop on the scale because of water weight loss, but it's not sustainable. Instead, ask your doctor if you can start with a 30-minute daily walk and a simple diet. That works much better for long term fat loss.

Please don't jump into water fasting blindly. I once ignored my body's warning signs during a strict diet and fainted, which led to a bad injury. Get a proper blood test and consult a professional before trying anything this extreme.

I am actually quite new to this and wanted to try it to lose some weight before a family wedding. But does water fasting cause severe weakness or acidity? I am a bit scared to try it without knowing.

Water fasting can give you temporary results, but it is not a healthy way to lose weight permanently. Your body needs nutrients to function. Try portion control and regular meals instead, that is much safer for your health.

I tried water fasting for just one day and started feeling very shaky and anxious by evening. My heart rate also felt a bit fast. Did anyone else experience this, or is it just me? I stopped it immediately.

Hum middle class logon ke liye ye sab fasting nakhre thik nahi hain. Kaam par jana hota hai, toh energy chahiye. Isse accha hai sham ko jaldi khao aur roti thodi kam kar do, simple aur sasta tareeka.

Fasting like this can seriously impact your electrolytes and blood pressure levels. Before you plan any such water fast, please get yourself checked by a doctor to ensure you don't have underlying health risks.

As someone managing diabetes, I must warn you that water fasting can cause dangerous drops in blood sugar. It is highly risky for diabetics. Always consult your endocrinologist before changing your diet patterns.

I panicked when my weight shot up by 2 kgs right after I ended my water fast. But then I realized it was just normal glycogen and water coming back. Don't worry, it's just how the body works, but normal dieting is much easier.

It sounds very tempting to just drink water and lose weight quickly! But honestly, life is too short to skip delicious food completely. Better to eat healthy and stay active with a smile!

Listen buddy, don't stress too much about losing weight overnight. Water fasting is just too hard on the system. Just eat clean, cut down on sugar, and you will see results without starving yourself.

Haan na, water fasting se weight jaldi kam toh hota hai, par baad mein double speed se badhta hai! Body ko thoda khana toh chahiye na kaam karne ke liye. It's better to eat simple ghar ka khana.
