Fasting: The “Fastest” Way to Lose Weight

Fasting: The “Fastest” Way to Lose Weight

The author of the acclaimed “Mucusless Diet Healing System”,
Prof Arnold Ehret once said “If one way is true…it is the way
of Nature!”. It will be an understatement to say he was and is
so correct.

In this day and age when everyone desires to be slim or slimmer
as the case may be, only very few people know that one
sure-fire, all natural, method can lead to a slimmer and more
importantly healthier person.

This method is as old as the mountains and is known as Fasting.

It is by far a greater cure of our ills-both physical and
mental-than all of the drugs of the medical fraternity combined
and when combined with an exclusive mucus-binding (alkaline
forming) diet of mainly fruits, leafy and root vegetables (raw
and cooked) and even basic exercises that involve the use of
one’s own body weight for resistance such as Yoga, Calisthenics
and Pilates, a well conducted fast can reap untold benefits for
those seeking to lose weight.

There are several types of fasts that can be beneficial for
weight loss. 1. The complete water fast: This, admittedly,
should be conducted with extreme caution or in a specialized
sanitarium if undertaken more than 3 days. 2. The Juice Fast:
This is much easier for the general populace and can be
undergone as long as you feel like it. 3. The Fruit Fast: This,
well, is really not a fast per se…but when one lives
exclusively on SEASONAL ORGANIC fruits for days on end…meaning
mono meals (2 at the most ) of only one kind of fruit say Apples
in Fall, Melons in summer for a week plus, you will be bound to
see the benefits. 4. The Dry Fast: This is another camouflaged
fast where one consumes ONLY dry fruits such as dates; figs etc
for 3 days or thereabout and then breaks the fast with a
laxative. Though highly praised in some quarters, it’s not so
common.

The second and third choices are by far my personal
recommendations for those seeking to lose weight. A friend of
mine tried the second choice after months of badgering and was
able to eventually see the awesome cuts in his abdominal
cavities. You should have heard him exclaim on the phone to me:
“Foras…I got a six-pack man…and I didn’t even do no
sit-ups…!” Moreover, his supposed hereditary red-eyes cleared
up after several eye-doctors had told him it was just a genetic
trait…yeah, right!

Being radical in nature, it must be undertaken with care and
although I have covered it in chapter 17 of my e-book “fitness:
inside and out”, do feel free to do some research before
undertaking a fast or a restricted fruit diet.

Here are a few tips: 1. Prepare yourself for a fast by gradually
tapering off of acid-forming aka “junk foods and commence to
consuming raw and cooked fruits and veggies to begin a milder
cleansing process as these items are the best intestinal brooms
for the colon. 2. Every now and again, 3 hours after supper and
say an hour or so before retiring to sleep, drink an herbal tea
laxative such as “Smooth Move Herbal Tea” during this
preparatory stage. 3. Drink 1-2 quarts of unflavored lemonade in
the mornings to balance the chemical reactions within the body
and to restore it to an alkaline state. 4. Be mentally prepared
for the task ahead of fasting. 5. Take things a little easier
while fasting or on a mono-diet of fruit. 6. Avoid using
microwaves at all costs. I touched on this subject in the free
section on controlling acne in my site. Though not a conclusive
list of the dos and don’ts of fasting be well informed that when
undertaken properly, you’d not only lose the undesired weight,
but you’d be well on your way to a cleaner and better you in no
time.

For weight loss, Fasting, my friends is the ‘fastest’ way to
improved health!
