Methods Of Fasting To Tone And Lose Weight

By Deborah Singer


Many people are aware of the benefits of fasting to tone and lose weight. It allows you to drop those unwanted pounds, however, it does not mean that you will keep that weight off. It is important that you remain committed to your program and you should remain aware of your body throughout the process. This will stop you from regaining all the weight lost.

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 fast you choose will depend greatly on your goals, health issues, body chemistry and lifestyle. You may choose a particular fast today because it suits you now, but tomorrow your needs may change. Dry fast is one of the methods also called Absolute Fast, Black Fast and Hebrew Fast. This particular method is the most extreme. It comes from a spiritual background and during the fast you will forgo food and water for limited time periods. This method is not often recommended to beginners, although it is a very interesting choice.

Liquid fasts involve only drinking liquids for a certain time period. The simplest liquid fast is drinking water. It offers you a high therapeutic benefit from a physical point of view, in the shortest time period. Detoxification occurs extremely quickly with this method. However, if you are a beginner to this type of diet, you may find this extremely restrictive.

A popular liquid method is juicing. It offers the individual a natural and pure form of detoxification. The Lemonade and Master Cleanse diets have become very popular in recent years. Calories are gained from the pure maple syrup that is added to the diet. It is also said to be important for intestinal cleansing.

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.

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.
