Anthropometric, hemodynamic, metabolic, and renal responses during 5 days of food and water deprivation
by Ioannis A Papagiannopoulos, Vassilis I Sideris, Michael Boschmann, Olga S Koutsoni, Eleni N Dotsika
10 adults were dry fasted (no food, no fluids) for 5 days. They lost 1.39kg/day on average, and significantly reduced waist circumference and other circumferences. Despite anticipated risks, they were safe. This weight loss is 50-100% higher than observed on water- or juice fasts of similar duration.
