Can you attain weight loss by fasting?
Although I do not think fasting is to be used specifically
for weight loss, I think you can do it to get your body
ready for a healthier way of living.
Use it as a way
to
cleanse your body out and get rid of all the toxins clogging
your system.
I suggest drinking fruit and vegetable juices while fasting.
I have read that you should do a water fast, but it can be a
miserable experience if you have never fasted before. So
stick to natural juices.
One of the better results I saw from my fasting experience
was that I have more self control over my eating habits. I
have always been a binge type of eater. After my fast, I
felt like I could restrain myself easier. It is probably a
mental attribute. I mean if I can go without eating for 7
days then I can sure keep myself from eating something I
shouldn't.
So although I don't think you can use fasting as a diet or
weight loss program, I do feel that it can be a great start
to a proper weight loss diet and exercise program. I think
it is definitely something that everybody should do at least
once a year.
If you have any health problems you should consult a
physician before starting any weight loss program. And, if
you absolutely cannot go without food then simply try going
a few days eating vegetables and fruits only. This will give
you most of the same results as the fasting will. However, I
recommend the fast over the fruits and vegetables because of
the confidence and control you will begin to enjoy as a
result.
