Fasting To Tone And Lose Weight Naturally

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.

It is necessary to change your mental and emotional attitudes to reverse the effects of your normal diet on your body. Abstinence is viewed as a 'start-over' method which benefits your taste buds. Your body will get rid of all the chemicals and impurities found in food and allow your taste buds to do its job. You have the option of different fasting methods.

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.

When you choose a liquid fast, it means that you will only consume liquids for a stipulated time period. Water fasts are the simplest in this category. It offers you physical therapeutic advantages over a short period of time. This method initiates detoxification very rapidly. You should bear in mind that this method can be very restrictive for beginners to 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 length of time you set aside for your fast is important. Three day fasts have proven popular as it can be done over a weekend. If you are a newcomer to abstinence, you should consider an easy to accomplish one day fast. This will give you the opportunity to learn how your body reacts to this change. Your total abstinence period should include the initial transition period when you are moving away from your normal diet. It should also include the period after the actual fast when you slowly return to a normal diet.

The different methods offer you an opportunity for healthy weight loss. Toning your body once you have lost the weight will require suitable daily exercise. You may not have sufficient energy during your fasting period to do these exercises, but this will depend on how your body reacts to the fasting method.
