The body can store water, especially in the stomach and tissues. However, the stored water is also excreted again, especially on the build-up days. This is why the weight loss is not necessarily visible on the scales.
When fasting, you first lose a lot of fluid before you lose fat. During fasting, the body can store more water again – this is like an emergency mechanism – the other metabolic processes continue in the background (e.g. the breakdown of fat for energy production).
However, fasting should not be used to lose weight. It is about relieving and “cleansing” your body. The positive side effect is weight loss! Take the pressure and stress off you and enjoy the new perspectives that you discover during fasting.
