Weight loss estimator

The weight loss during fasting depends on individual factors that could not be taken into account in this model, such as family history and physical activity. The estimated weight loss is accurate to an average of 85 % and was established using data from more than 1500 patients. The weight loss is more pronounced during the first days due to changes in the levels of hydration. It then stabilise after the fasting metabolism is well established, with fat becoming the main fuel for our cells. This estimation is for indicative purposes, to provide a better understanding of the way body weight changes for an average patient of a given body weight, age and gender, during a long-term fast at the Buchinger Wilhelmi Clinic.

There are two colored areas around the estimated line; they correspond to the confidence intervals around the estimated values. The first indicates that you have a 70% chance of being within it, and the second, a 95% chance of being within the both areas.
