Yeah i would defo agree, I have heard water fast are really only to be used with extreme illness or disease, to help the body heal by removing all toxins, I have never done a water fast, I have Done juice fasting for many years now, over the period of 4 years i lost 3 stone and helped to clear my immune system issues.

Weight gain during pregnancy is one of life's certainties, but studies show that many women don't know how much weight they should be putting on – and could be putting themselves and their baby at risk

You must be joking right? Body needs some nutrition as well. How do you survive? Guess you sleep all day :)

"Water Fast"
I do them easily
BUT
I've been fasting at varying levels for over five years.

Sustainable weight loss is NOT QUICK
gimmick quick fixes will make it take longer, not make it shorter.
