CAN YOU ATTAIN WEIGHT LOSS WHILE FASTING by Jason Barger
Fasting, when done properly, can be a basic part of a solid
weight loss plan. If done correctly it can be a great start
to your new way of living.
When I first started my weight loss program I began with a
fast. I have fasted for 2-7 days on a few different
occasions. The reason that fasting can be such a great way
to start a weight loss program is because you can see
results immediately.
It will also make it very easy to stick to your diet for the
first week. After not eating for a few days, your food will
taste better. This is a great time to go a few days eating
only fruits and vegetables. This can easily turn your two
day fast into a 7 day, full body cleanse.
Fasting can make you look much thinner in only a couple
days. You may not lose a significant amount of weight, but
it will look like you have. It can make your waist
noticeably thinner and clear up blemishes or skin problems.
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.
