Welcome to the Doctor Burg, Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast.

Now, your host, the man taking your health to a whole new level.

Doctor Eric Burg.

So I get this question quite frequently.

How much weight can a person actually lose when they're fasting?

Now, I just want to mention the difference between doing the ketogenic diet,

and you have fasting over here.

And if you combine them, it's a whole different thing.

But if you're just doing the ketogenic diet alone where you're lowering your carbs,

the most that you can lose per week is about two pounds of fat per week if you're healthy.

But what if you're fasting every day? How much can you lose?

You potentially can lose a lot more.

You can lose a half a pound a day.

And that would be 0.227 kilograms for those Europeans.

Or that comes out to three and a half pounds lost per week or 1.58 kilograms per week.

Now, just realize that this is the best case scenario.

You're not going to lose more than this.

You have to have a really healthy metabolism to be able to lose that much.

Now, if you're just starting out, you're probably going to lose anywhere between seven to 15 pounds for the first week.

And that's pretty much going to happen on just about any diet that you do that lowers the carbs.

Why? Because you're going to lose a ton of water weight.

Where is a water weight coming from?
