Hey /fit/.
My gf want to not eat for 3 days and only drink water and tea. Please give me advice on how to convince her this is a bad idea, and why she should stop.

She shouId. GirIs Iook better the skinnier they are and if starving herseIf is one way of doing it she shouId go for it.
AII girIs shouId do this.
Tell her to either add some broth or just eat some salt. Drops in sodium levels are the worst side effect of fasting.

desu dis
She's gonna lose weight for those three days but as soon as she starts eating again she'll gain it right back. Not only that but you'll lose muscle, which is the opposite of what you want.
This is only effective if you have a wedding or prom and need to lose a few pounds fast.

I did this and felt great afterward. Religeous folks do this all the time as well. Sometimes they eat and drink nothing for 10+ days. She's totally fine OP.

Tell her to change her eating habits afterward though. Join her, you probably need a cut anyways.

Her goal is fat loss though, and she is gonna cannabalize muscle right? not fat...

I'm bulking over the summer because i started lifting in the new year and am still pretty skinny (for my goal at least)

the body burns way more fat than muscle when on a fast. the whole point of fat is it's a temporary energy storage for when you don't eat. she's a girl so she probably has almost no muscle mass to begin with so i doubt she'll lose much.
a better way to do this would be to eat 900 calories of protein, a little fat (from meat), and carb free vegetables for nutrients

That's after all the fat stores are used up.

Can you give me an actual reason that this is beneficial without using memes, ad homes, red herrings, or muh toxins,

Ok thanks for this, it makes me feel better that she is trying to be safe about this at least.
My thoughts were that she is gonna end up in the hospital or something
