   A couple of pounds maybe, but your metabolism would slow down very quickly so you wouldn’t lose much and would gain it back, plus more, as soon as you stopped.
   Enjoy.

   Well eating only one bowl of cereal a day would mean your intake is only between 200-600 calories, depending on what the cereal is. Only eating this many calories each day, you are restricting your body of the fuel (food) that it needs to function! After a few days, your metabolism will begin to slow right down until it grinds to a complete halt and will not continue to burn off any fat. When the body is not getting enough calories, it puts itself into a kind of “survival mode” and stores all of the calories that you put into your body, meaning your weight won’t go down much and as soon as you start eating again, the weight you lost, (which is just water weight) will come back very quickly and so it’s not a successful way to lose weight.
   HOWEVER, i will still answer your actual question, and that is that you will probably lose 1-2lbs per day of “restricting/fasting”.

   that’s just stupid

   losing weight is not about eating less, its about eating healthy and exercising.

   weight is lost through exercise because the body burns off the excess fat.

   and eating healthy gives the body the energy to exercise and reduces the body storing engery as excess fat.

   if you do that cereal diet you will not have the engery to burn off the excess fat you have through
   exercise.

   even if you do starve your self and get more thin you will just put the weight back on, this is why many detox diets fail

   and for toning the arms you do low weights with many reps with barbels or gym equipment, and remember that fat does not turn in to muscle and that muscle weighs more that fat, so if you weigh more when doing muscle exercise that’s fine, what you got to be worried about is your waist line size

   If you know it is bad for you then why are trying to self-harm?

   Go on a balance-controlled diet if you must but leave the fad diets out.

   You wouldn’t lose all that much, and since it is a temporary diet the results would be temporary as well. And since you would have completely crashed your metabolism, you probably gain a lot more back.

   None – you would lose vital nutrients and fluids and become ill – what you would effectively be doing is starving yourself. It’s simple, for all you girls out there, just eat a healthy, balanced diet, cut down on sugar (biscuits, cakes, choc etc) and get at least 30 mins daily exercise, even walking is great. It’s all about balance, nothing extreme.

   Hi!

   Have you ever heard of ‘Fat Loss 4 Idiots’ diet program? It’s one of the most sellable e-books ever written that talks about losing fat easily and quickly. If you wish, you can check it all out, there’s a link to a great blog in my source.

   So, what is in it?

   Generally, the Fat Loss for Idiots is a guide to losing weight and fat as the name implies. In the book, you will be able to read the rules involved in weight loss. These rules, also known as “10 Idiot Proof Rules of Weight Loss” are easy to understand and follow as they are stated in the simplest terms.

   Another thing that the e-book contains is the diet generator. The book will give you meal plans that will last you for 11 days. So for each day, the book has a menu for you to follow.

   What does it promise?

   Fat Loss for Idiots promises a lot of things. For the most part, it promises to make you really lose weight. To be specific, the ebook is able to make you lose 9 pounds every eleven days.

   Another big promise the ebook gives is that it can make you lose weight using a healthy meal plan. Many weight lose plans make you lose weight by skipping and scrimping on some things that your body needs such as fat. With the ebook, you can be sure that you won’t be having any of this. As a matter of fact, it will give you a menu of foods that are complete of the nutrients that your body needs. With this, you can be sure that even if you are losing weight, you are also well nourished.

   Another thing that the ebook promises is that it makes room for those who are on a vegetarian diet. Unlike other weight loss guides that specifically tell you certain things such as forcing you to eat meat, the Fat Loss for Idiots respects your diet preferences. With this, anybody can take part of the program.

   The best weight control diet allows you to eat the foods that you would normally eat, have in your refrigerator and cabinets. By timing when you eat certain foods, how many times a day you eat them, and balancing the types of food, your metabolism will burn what you take in and then some, because it knows you will be feeding it again shortly, instead of starving.

   Check out my source – there’s a blog all about this diet with tons of info. Hope it works for you! Good luck!
