Advantages Of Fasting To Tone And Lose Weight

By Deborah Singer


Fasting to tone and lose weight is a great idea. It will help you to drop pounds, but this does not mean that all the weight you lose will stay off. You should be aware of the effects of abstinence on your body, and remain committed. This will allow you to keep most of the weight off.

In order to change the effects the food you eat has had on your body, you have to change emotionally and mentally to reverse those effects. Fasting has been termed as a 'reset' button for your taste buds. Your body will be cleansed of impurities and chemicals, giving you the ability to truly taste the foods you eat. There are different types of methods you can choose from.

The method you choose will depend on your goals, lifestyle, health problems and body chemistry. You may start with one method today and find that it is not suitable tomorrow. The first method is the dry fast, which is also known as Absolute Fast, Hebrew Fast and Black Fast. This is the most extreme of all the methods. It has spirituality as its base and is done by abstaining from food and water for very short time periods. This is a very interesting choice of fast, but is very rarely recommended for newcomers.

With liquid fasts, you limit your periods of abstinence to drinking liquids only. The water method is one of the simplest liquid fasts. From a physical aspect, it offers high therapeutic benefits and does not require long time periods for results. The process of detoxification happens quickly with this method. You may however find this to be extremely restrictive if you are a beginner in fasting.

One of the more popular liquid fasts is a juice diet. It is considered to be a pure, natural detox method. The Master Cleanse and the Lemonade diets fall into this category and have gained popularity over the last few years. These diets obtain calories from the maple syrup which is part of the diet. It offers exceptional intestinal cleansing benefits.

You can opt for a partial method whereby you include some solid foods in the diet. The amount of food you eat is not the important facet of this diet. Excluding or limiting certain types of food is what makes it a partial method. Diets such as rice diets are considered to be partial fasts.

The amount of time you offer up for the diet is an important aspect. The popularity of three day fasts is because it can be achieved over one weekend. Newcomers to these forms of abstinence should consider starting with a one-day fast. This will allow you to determine the changes that take place during the diet period. The total period allocated to abstinence should include the initial transition from eating a normal diet. The time that you take to slowly return to a normal daily diet should also be included in the time assessment.

You can lose weight in a natural, healthy fashion by fasting. You will be able to tone your body after the initial weight by doing exercises in line with your weight loss plan. You may not have the energy to do exercises during the period of the fast, but this is entirely dependent on your body's reaction to the fast.
