If you haven't eaten in four days and have lost five pounds what can you eat without gaining the weight back?

Answer 1

If you want to eat a burger without gaining weight back, buy it with everything but the bread. You've fasted for four days. (Perhaps you were ill and couldn't eat. A beneficial side effect was a bit of weight loss. If you weren't too thin to begin with, that was the silver lining of your illness.) Now, you wish to keep that weight off. Fine. But how? Put your fork down sooner! You do not have to modify the makeup of your daily diet. Just do not consume as much as you did before your fast. Consume as many calories as you burn and you will maintain your current weight. You may wish to increase your activity. Pick one: walk, run, jog, hike, roller-skate, cycle, swim, play Racquetball, play tennis, play volleyball, go rowing, jump rope, do pilates, belly dance, do calisthenics. (Whatever you choose, check with your doctor, first.) Unless fasting is controlled by a pro it can be dangerous to your health! I disagree with fasting (my own opinion) and feel if an individual eats the proper foods and drinks enough water and exercises everything works just A-OK. There is no need for fasting. The brain needs nourishment from proteins, the heart needs exercise and good eating habits; the kidneys and liver need water to flush out toxins that it filters and the colon needs leafy green vegetables and fruit to keep in clear. Most people don't realize that excess weight (to a degree) can be from not having a proper regiment in diet causing the digestive system to back-up sort of like a sewer and thus not having enough bowel movements to get rid of the wastes in the body. That's why you hear of some young women using X-lax (bad idea!) Put your meals on a smaller plate so it looks like more. Eat more fruits and veggies, some chicken or fish (women only need 3 1/2 ounces of protein per meal), drink 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water and exercise, but don't become an exercise junky!
