Dehydration and Electrolyte Imbalance
One of the major risks of water fasting is dehydration, especially if not enough water is consumed. Electrolyte imbalances can also occur, leading to fatigue and dizziness.
Muscle Loss
Prolonged water fasting can result in muscle loss, as the body may start breaking down muscle tissue for energy.
Short-Term Solution
Water fasting can lead to rapid weight loss, but it is not sustainable for long-term health.
