Love Island star reveals her dramatic weight loss after fasting for THREE DAYS with her boyfriend – but insists they didn’t do it to slim down
Many Australians are using self-isolation as a time to focus on improving their health.
And Love Island star Shelby Mills took self-improvement to the extreme over the weekend when she and boyfriend Harry Bink lost a combined 8kg by not eating for three days.
The Gold Coast-based influencer documented the gruelling 72-hour fast on Instagram Stories, telling fans she felt like she was ‘dying’.

‘I keep going through such highs and then such big lows,’ said Shelby, describing the mood swings she was experiencing.
At the 67-hour mark, she uploaded a photo of herself standing on the bathroom scales, which showed she had lost 2.1kg.
‘Down 2.1kg and five hours to go on our 72 hour fast!’ she wrote. ‘We did not do this to lose weight, did it for the health benefits. Google it yourself.’

While fasting may have some health benefits, such as ‘rebooting’ the immune system and improving brain function, it also comes with a variety of risks.
These dangers include potential muscle loss, dehydration and blood pressure changes.
After their 72-hour fast, Shelby shared a video of her boyfriend rubbing his stomach with a pained expression on his face.
