Can you tell me how much weight will i lose by starving for 2 weeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not that much: It takes burning off 3500 calories a day to lose a pound. If you're average height at approx. 5 feet 5 inchses, you will burn off about 1700 calories a day with no food intake and moderate exercise. Plus, your body will enter a conservation mode quickly, that will limit the number of calories you burn off. A caloric restriction and three meals/day with exercise is much more effective.
