How is it possible that I went from 183 to 177 from not eating for 16 hours, I do the same the next day but am 178?

I didn't eat much.

Unless you were dehydrating simultaneously, that is an astonishing result. You can lose a fair bit of water weight, and if you pass all of your previous meals, then that’s a bit too. However, fasting sometimes triggers your metabolism to slow down in order to get more nutrients from the food you have eaten. This could explain the plateau in your results. If you select high fiber, low carbohydrates foods you can keep your digestive tract running efficiently and help trigger ketosis. Strategic doses of caffeine can be helpful too. However, you do need to stay hydrated. So those first time results aren’t frequently repeatable unless you take serious risks to your health.

I was eating more than I should've and I was starting to see and feel it so I skipped a few meals, bathroom helped too I'm sure.

You may have excreted 6 lbs. Best if you do dry weight measurements. After you have pissed and shat and before the first coffee.

[Asker]

I do it that way

[RavVid]

OK. It is likely that the weight loss reflects hydration level than

[RavVid]

Thanks for a mho. Good luck with the weight loss.

pretty much 3500 calories is 1 pound of body weight. extra 3500 calories =1 pound weight gain. A deficit of 3500 calories = weight loss. it’s rather simple

someone your weight at 180 lbs would burn 1600 calories at rest (without exercise). so you’d need 2+ days of not eating to lose one pound. what you’re supposedly saying is you’ve done 6 x 3500 =21,000 if calorie burn in 16 hours

which isn’t likely. the scale might be deceiving you. but there is also a phenomenon where people at the beginning of severe dieting lose way too much water weight all at once. it doesn’t sustain as actual weight loss. i don’t much about that phenomenon but look up water weight and not eating…

and good luck

[Asker]

That's not how it works, 2 days of not eating to losr a pound is absurd. Just think about it for a second, skipping one meal would account for 1-2 pounds alone.

[DreamCrescent]

not true. you do not lose a pound by skipping a meal. that’s actually absurd

do some research. seems you’re making things up in your head and applying them as true

[Asker]

Why would it not? It's simple math. You eat 3 meals a day or whatever, you remain roughly the same weight if consistent, so eliminating one of those meals means you should lose, yes? What does the meal weight? About 1-2 pounds.

You need to get your eyes checked.

[Asker]

You sound insecure

You can’t lose that much in 16 hours

[Asker]

You can, I literally did. UFC fighters lose more
