Why not get into a cleanse program have you tried that? All the weight will come right back on if you starve yourself.

worse: now you have a certain metabolic rate. When your body is starving it will take energy from the muscle, thus decreasing the metabolic rate.

When you'll start eating again your hunger will be the same, but you metabolic rate and protein synthesis capacity will be much lower, thus you'll gain your weight mostly in fat.

agreed...... unless you had a religious reason to starve yourself its just stupid.

I fast once a year always feel great in head and body after a 2wk clense.

Naturally the human body is used to going long spells not eating. After around 4 days you notice the difference.

you will definently lose weight, anyone saying otherwise is just someone who doesnt have the balls to do it and wants to find an easy way out. Eating less, means your body will burn off the fat and it wont come back. Even if you have a slow metabolism.

Do an actual cleanse, not a 2 week fast. Your going to **** up your metabolism

Hell, I know that I'm too chicken sh*t to try this fasting routine as it sounds pretty unhealthy to me. If you don't eat anything, your body burns latent carbs first, muscle second, and fat last. You will lose weight for sure, but you will be weak as a mug when done. Your stomach may shrink as well causing problems when you attempt to eat again...pain and upset stomach and yeah...diarrhea. You are losing any intake of vitamins at all and yeah, your metabolism will actually slow down to preserve the fat. I don't know how that will cleanse you out as it may actually make your skin thing worse.

Eat better, eat more..smaller portions, 6 a day. Up your water intake to flush your system and drink cranberry juice. As others have said, try a detox cleanse system to clean your system.

this sounds like some dumb ass ****..... to the guy who said its chicken**** not to want to fast why cant you just exercise harder to me not eating although im sure requires a lot of discipline seems unnecessary and detremental for any athlete. your body needs the nutrients from the food you eat to peform well

The idea of a "cleanse" has been thoroughly debunked as bull****, and these fasting "diets" do more harm than good. You want to detox, then stop eating crap, start drinking more water, and up your fiber intake for a few days, preferably coming from whole food (vegetable) sources. Boom. Detoxed.

I may not know much about boxing, but I know enough about physiology to say that this is a terrible idea. If you've got a liver and at least one working kidney, your body does not need your help to flush out any 'toxins'. By fasting, all you're going to do is mess up your metabolism. But don't take my word for it. Ask your family doctor, but be ready for him to slap you upside your head.

"A man known by his Boxingscene community members as TestDead was found dead in his apartment early this morning. Early reports by police believe he was tortured and forced to starve for 4 whole days. He was found by his family wearing boxing gloves and watching tapes of his favorite fighter James "Lights Out" Toney. There are not leads as of this time."
