Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
48-72 hrs after starvation your body enters the state called ketosis in which breakdown of muscle occurs for glucose. This means your body is literally breaking itself for food

View allI'm a bit concerned because I'm underweight, and I've read that warm water with lemon might be good for health, but does it actually lead to weight loss? I'm worried it might not be the best thing for me to start if I'm already trying to put on some weight. Can you help clear this up for me?

I want to drop 20 kg in just two months before my sister's wedding. I'm currently weighing 78 kg, but I really want to be at least 60 kg. Is this an achievable goal? What kind of diet or exercise plan would you recommend to make this happen? I'm a bit worried about whether it's healthy to lose weight so quickly, and I'm unsure about the best way to go about it without compromising my health.
It's important to set realistic goals for healthy weight loss, aiming for about 0.51 kg per week. Losing 20 kg in 2 months may be too rapid, which could affect your health. I recommend a balanced diet, regular exercise, and consulting a nutritionist or doctor to guide you safely toward your goal.
