How long does it take to lose weight after you stop eating?

Answer 1

You will lose weight steadily every day at a significant rate (the greater depending on how overweight you are and your overall caloric deficit). After one to two weeks your metabolism will reduce or go into "starvation mode" and you will notice a significant drop in weight lossfor the same caloric deficit. However, your weight loss will not stop. I repeat, YOU WILL CONTINUE TO LOSE WEIGHT, but just at a reduced rate. For more info, look into the myth of starvation mode. All in all, however, your body needs nutrients, vitamins, fat, carbs, and proteins to function. It is best to go in spurts of reduced calories/fat/carbs for a period and then let yourself have a good amount every week or so. This will keep your body healthy in the things it needs to function and have the added benefit keeping your metabolism at a higher rate.
