Can Fasting Help with Weight Loss?

If done correctly, yes, fasting help with weight loss. True fasting involves consuming nothing but water, and I don't recommend this. There are much healthier, safer ways to fast.

What is fasting?

Fasting is a natural process that can provide great benefits for overall health, as well as weight loss. For example, animals instinctively know to fast when they are ill. Most religious traditions have a tradition of fasting at certain times.

The goal with fasting is to allow the body to rest, heal, and eliminate toxins. Fasting periods can range from 1 day to 2 weeks, or more. But to fast with only water can create problems with low blood sugar, and can force too many toxins into the bloodstream at once, causing severe discomfort.

So I recommend doing a "mini" weight loss fasting and cleansing diet in which you consume vegetable juices only, as well as plenty of purified water, for a day a month. In addition, you would take a special greens pill that is rich in vegetable protein (such as spirulina or chlorella). This way, your body is getting the vitamins, minerals, and protein it needs, and your blood sugar remains stable.

How does fasting help with weight loss?

First of all, this 24-hour mini-fast restricts calories greatly, so you could lose up to a pound in that one day of fasting. But it gives your body a break, and allows it to eliminate any toxins that have built up since your last detox or fast.

A weight loss fasting and cleansing diet reduces cravings so that any ongoing weight loss diet is easier to stick to. It can also help you to break any old habits that snuck back into your diet since your last detox program or fast.

How do I do this fast weight loss fasting diet?

The majority of this 24-hour fast weight loss fasting diet will involve drinking juices from high-nutrient green vegetables such as chard, dandelion, tomatoes, and celery. Have some fun with coming up with combinations of vegetables that you like best.

I also recommend juicing low-sugar fruits such as strawberries and blueberries for your morning juice blend. This is a great way to start your day!
