To calculate the water fast weight loss:
\[ WFL = \frac{DC \times D}{3500} \]
Where:
Water fast weight loss refers to the amount of weight lost due to a water fasting period. This calculation estimates the weight loss by considering the total calorie deficit over the fasting period. The result is an estimate of the weight lost, assuming a calorie deficit of 3,500 calories is approximately equivalent to losing 1 pound of body weight.
Example 1:
Assume a daily calorie burn of 2,000 calories and a water fast lasting for 7 days.
Using the formula:
\[ WFL = \frac{2000 \times 7}{3500} = \frac{14,000}{3500} = 4 \text{ lbs} \]
The estimated water fast weight loss is 4 lbs.
Example 2:
Consider a daily calorie burn of 1,500 calories and a water fast lasting for 10 days.
Using the formula:
\[ WFL = \frac{1500 \times 10}{3500} = \frac{15,000}{3500} \approx 4.29 \text{ lbs} \]
The estimated water fast weight loss is approximately 4.29 lbs.
