I tracked my body composition before a 7-day water fast, right after, and then after 7 days of refeeding.

  • Total weight dropped from 162.1 → 150.4 lbs, then came back up to 157.2 lbs.
  • Fat mass went down 21.4 → 16.8 lbs, then only partially returned (17.3 lbs).
  • Lean tissue dipped during the fast but mostly came back after refeed.
  • Bone mass stayed stable.

One picture shows just how extreme – and fascinating – the changes were 😊

  1. That… Doesn’t sound healthy in the slightest. But you do you bud.

  3. What do you suspect led to gaining 6.3 pounds of lean tissue in 7 days?

  4. 0% chance that was actually a change in lean tissue and not just glycogen. Whatever you used to measure it wasn’t accurate.

    I’d believe the loss, but not the gain, which means the loss was not lean mass either.

  5. Not enough data points, you should do a 30-day water fast now for science! /s
