A decade ago, I was experimenting a lot for "fun". Water diets are more like cleanses and almost reset your body. But, some people will intermittent fast by the day. Eat Sun-Tue. Fast Wed. Eat Thu-Fri. Fast Sat (something like that). Not my cup of tea (pun intended). Here's the key though: don't mess with your metabolism over a long period of time. Caloric restriction can hurt a person in the long term. A person can go from eating 2000 calories a day without gaining weight to only 1500 calories a day if your body / metabolism downshifts. Always better to increase the exercise portion rather than just restrict calories.
My height is 150 cm.. like, for real? My weight is supposed to be 25 kg? I can't believe that.. So upset to see how people try to lose weight using this kind of methods
I used to be that height and weight because of health reason. Believe me it's not pretty at all. I got cold all the time, I didn't get my period for years and feeling tired easily. That's definitely unhealthy standard. Please don't do this people
I'm 155cm and less it with 125cm- its 30kg for me, my normal weight is around 50-55kg. But currently i'm 88kg lmao. But i feel great and love my body though. Gurlsss!! You are beautiful in your own way. Dont make yourself sufferr for unnecessary thingss!!
I think many female idols give people the wrong idea of what looks 'beautiful '. But that is not their fault, that is the industry they are in. Some of their legs are so thin, I don't know how they have enough energy to keep up their busy schedule. I like to see idols with an athletic, healthy appearance. Not stick thin.
That's right, especially the girl bands. They are so skinny it looks sick. I mean if they had more muscle they could do cooler dance routines :) But that would be totally different image which apparently not considered by the bosses of K-pop industry.
A water diet for 72 hours, where someone consumes only water and no nutrients, can be harmful for several reasons: Nutrient Deficiency: Your body needs vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates to function properly. Without them, you can feel weak, dizzy, and fatigued. Muscle Loss: Without protein intake, your body may start breaking down muscle tissue for energy. Electrolyte Imbalance: Drinking only water without replenishing electrolytes can lead to an imbalance, which can cause muscle cramps, heart palpitations, and even seizures. Blood Sugar Issues: Lack of food can cause blood sugar levels to drop, leading to dizziness, headaches, and fainting. Metabolic Slowdown: Starving your body can slow down your metabolism, making it harder to lose weight in the long run. Dehydration Risk: Ironically, drinking only water can sometimes lead to dehydration if electrolytes are not balanced, because your body loses essential salts. Mental Health: Restricting food intake can lead to feelings of irritability, depression, and anxiety. Digestive Problems: Lack of fiber and nutrients can disrupt normal digestive processes, leading to constipation or other issues. Immune System Weakening: Without proper nutrients, your immune system can weaken, making you more susceptible to infections. Temporary Weight Loss: Any weight lost is likely to be water weight and muscle mass, not fat, and will probably return once normal eating resumes. It's important to approach weight loss with a balanced diet and healthy habits rather than extreme measures.
@@HKim0072 Immediate Weakness and Fatigue: Your body needs constant energy from food to function. Depriving it of nutrients for 72 hours can lead to significant weakness and fatigue. Electrolyte Imbalance: Within days, consuming only water can disrupt your body’s electrolyte balance, potentially causing muscle cramps and heart palpitations. Blood Sugar Drops: Going without food for three days can cause dangerous drops in blood sugar levels, leading to dizziness, headaches, and fainting. Metabolism Impact: Starving the body can slow down your metabolism even in a few days, making it harder to lose weight healthily in the future. Mental and Emotional Strain: Depriving your body of essential nutrients can affect your mood, leading to irritability, anxiety, and difficulty concentrating. Claiming that only longer fasts are dangerous overlooks the immediate risks and potential long-term consequences of even short-term extreme dieting. It's always best to focus on balanced and sustainable eating habits. Ignoring these immediate risks and focusing only on the dangers of longer fasts is a misunderstanding of how the body works.
I've always thought that if you were on a deserted island with no mirrors or cameras - would you or anyone else care how you look. Why do people still do this to themselves?
It absolutely is, but South Korean beauty standards can be quite rough at times... Water diets are also dangerous. Korean food is quite healthy compared to other countries' foods, so why these diets are "necessary" is beyond my understanding.
@@gustavsingh1547 water diet is much better than. the no water diet. where people go without drinking water to lose weight. Glad people got the information to stop that crazy idea. no enough water can lead to permanent organ damage, stroke, cardiac arrest, and death. 💀💀 High mortality rates in body builders that did this to thin the skin before competition.
This diet is made by people who already have psychological disorders behind them. They call it a "diet," but it's an eating disorder. They are psychologically dependent on food deprivation. Many Koreans also do the water-fasting, for example they eat fruit and vegetables but don't drink for two days, to be dry (precisely). It's a type of diet that models and actors do even in the West. Don't forget that in Korea they have a very high sui*ide rate among teenagers.
@@gustavsingh1547 yes! However I also remember a girl who went there for studies getting so stressed cause she struggled to find low carb foods. So I don't know if what I see personally is the a real représentation of what the average Korean person can afford to eat consistently. In my country we also face the same thing: you can only eat healthy in the village(ancestral home) and a healthy diet in the city is for upper middle class and above only. Foreigners only ever see the "healthy" stuff we are purportedly eating. Still, if it's a career necessity, maybe even taking a loan to afford healthy food may be an option cause these crazy diets will just destroy your body by the time you're 35.
Children should not be fasting to this extreme. Their bodies are still growing and their hormones are unstable. If I child/tween/teen insists on restrictive diets for health or vanity reasons, they should be under the supervision of the PCP. The normalization of anorexia boggles my mind. So many countries still have citzens starving to death every day and some countries have citizens deliberately choosing to starve themselves. Short term Fasting in adults is different and may not necessarily be deadly. It really depends on the approach. Water diets are dangerous, as several other commenters have pointed out. I remember several pediatric patients with anorexia. It was heartbreaking to be their nurse. My heart breaks for these children.
In Korea many people get their energy from IVs. They fast and have IVs. They do the shows and backstage they give them an IV. They do it both at home and in hospitals, in the emergency room. However, it is a frequent thing.
@@Rachel88009 Professional ballet dancers put their bodies through a lot. It's more of a restrictive diet than no eating though. The girl in the video is doing it wrong. In theory, once people get to a certain weight, people can eat as many calories as the body burns daily.
@@RanziYasasvi Again, it's not. It's burning stored fat for energy. Trust me, you drink a lot of water / liquids because you get bored and miss eating. I did the water fast for 2 1/2 days and quit. I've done a longer 2+ week liquid diet. Again, a diet that you consume a lot of liquid and just burning fat.
im a 14yr girl and i did it for nearly a week 6 days ago and yesterday i started another water fast and i am fell fine. But iam overweight tho and i don't think anyone already underweight should do it. Plus aint no way 42kgs for me is healthy im planning to lose weight till 54kg and iam 167cm
What you do for Heaven is eternity and what you do for world is temporary..i just remind you all that end of time is near prepared with do charity to your goodness in eternal life..
Water fasting for a day once a week/every week can be very healthy unless you suffer from low blood pressure and/or low blood sugar. It is not gonna make you lose a meaningful and lasting amount of weight though. It just detoxes the system.
Merci, this is deadly the body needs you nutrition a weight obsession is so bad can. Lead to an eating disorder men et women. For me, I'm happy with my extra curve shape. I'm slim in western standards but I have some muscle strength to lift heavy items. Muscle strength building is important.
Somebody give them some 4x4 cheese burger, extra tomatoes, extra pickles, triple layer mayonnaise, ketchup with chilli on top with vanilla shake and extra large fat fries!
They skipped over an important point. A lot of the headaches are due to the lack of caffeine if people drink coffee regularly. Water diets tend to allow herbal teas (no caffeine).
I find this to be stupid and scary. What you do to your body now determines how your body will function or not function in your future. 🤦♀️ Diet wisely, not crazily!
three days is fine. unless you are working in something physical like construction. office jobs, and news anchor where there is no physical need it is very doable. on hot days if you are planning to jog at least get some electrolytes from a sports drink. 3 days water fast is not going to kill you. the best way to lose permanent weight is to build muscle. you don't even need to do cardio. as more muscle mass in your every day activities you will naturally burn more calories. plus you make your bones stronger very important for females that have much higher chance of osteoporosis later in life. bigger engine you burn more gasoline.
Can we please stop calling these “diets” or “fasting” when it’s obviously disordered eating and a real problem.

Fasting was a common practice in the Bible, up to 40 days. How was that possible?

Effect of watching celebrity. People get boob job , becos celebrity do it too. If they encourage size plus celebrity people will mend thier ways
What bro this is so unhealthy. There are so many risks to this. 😢pls don’t do this to your bodies.
Those diets are getting more crazy/mad each day that goes by...
I have a really hard time losing weight. I could probably go a week without eating and I'd lose 1kg. (I'm not kidding).
Why not just have a consistent diet to keep you slim but healthy? Isn't that more reasonable
It absolutely is, but South Korean beauty standards can be quite rough at times...

Fasting is very good for you if done in the right way, the 5:2 diet is very successful, you can lose weight on it in a healthy way
IMO, the 12pm-8pm is the most practical intermittent fasting regiment. No one can survive the 5:2 for a long period of time and live a normal life.
This is insane!
How do they keep going with no energy?
umm, it's the whole point. Because your body has no food, it starts burning your stored fat for energy.
