I started my fast today i am doing water fast for weightloss. There has been great debate if fasting acutally fixs the issue that people have with food, and after they fasT the just regain the weight because They havent learned proper nutrition. After much research and reading people blogs they are many who have suceeded! Fasting is about control as is proper diet! you know you shouldn't eat that but you do! Plus i believe that when it shrinks your stomache it actually helps you start to listen to your body when it says it full.I have major weightloss issues and will be doing 10 day interavls until i achieve my weight loss goal. When i get to the last 20lbs i will incooperate weightloss proram insanity to tone! I will weight myself every cycle first day and last day of the cycle.
i will make a blog to track weightloss per cycle. wish me luck!
If you go without sugar and salt in your diet and only eat healthy for about 30 days, your tastes should adjust and you will actually taste food. A lot of the crap junk, fast food, etc we have in our diets today would taste awful without those additives. The body and taste buds get use to them.
I definitely agree though, anyone fasting to loss weight, should learn how to eat healthy afterward. Not doing so, makes the fast a complete waste of time. Might actually end up hurting, with the return to a crap diet, they could just gain more weight then lost.
U know, I did my 10 dayers and yes my stomach srank but only for the time being. During re-feeding it got back to normal again.
Yeah, body does detox during fasting and u do feel good but if before ur fasting program u had a tendency not to control ur eating habits then I do not think it will work out. I think water fasting is overvalued. The main thing is not to fast regularly to detox but rather not to fast a number of days but rather eat healthy.
Girl, the fasting is not the way out for u. It will not fix ur weight problems as a strike of magic but rather make u feel miserable after numerous of tries. I have been there and I know what I am talking about. Yes I was successful two times with 10 dayers and so what?? Did it help me to fix my weight problems or reset my apetite? - nope. It did not. Now I do not fast - do not want any more. I eat a lot of raw fruits and vegies, brown rice, baked potatoes, nuts. Gave up meat, fish (was cheating on it couple of times since the beginning of this year), try to give up eggs and do not remember when I drank milk last time. I still eat in the evenings but try to feel myself up with fruits when I feel hunger. Though I need to shift my eating times to a bit earlier. Do some excersises at home (planning to start running - do it anyway when I am late somewhere ;))... It is just BETTER way for me - I was SO TIRED of numerous trials to fast and get NO WHERE!
Also look for the book called CHINA STUDY by Dr. T. Colin Campbell (go to youtube and see what it is about or read reviews in the net)
