I heard you can lose weight while fasting. I want to try it , but I want to know about anybodys past fasting experiences. Did you feel good after the fast, did you lose weight, did you gain the weight back? I need answers from people that KNOW what they are talking about, as in you have had an experience fasting, or know someone who fasts regularly. Ho do I start, and when do I know when to stop. Please only answers from experience, this is very important. Also what are the health benefits of fasting?

Hi,
The purpose of fasting is to rest your body. This is because most energy in our body is used for digestion. When you fast, you are able to redirect this energy to be used for detoxification, adjustment and healing in the body.
When this happens and your body undergoes massive detox, you are likely to lose weight.
Yes, fasting can feel good.. after you get over the first few days of not eating. It is however not advisable to completely stop intake of nutrients because if you do, you probably would not be able to fast for long.
Usually when I fast (I have fasted 6 times at least in the past 4 years and am currently fasting.. have done it for 2.5weeks already), I would drink fruit juices and I also take health food to supplement my nutrients and energy level so that my fasting gives me better results.
The first time I fasted, I lost 15kg within 2 months. Yes, I fasted for 2 months ;) (You can see my picture here: http://dreamsincredibles.blogspot.com/2005/10/angel-lost-15kg-within-2-months.html ) I have maintained my weight for 3 years till I got pregnant and gave birth to my son.
Because of this, I am an 'expert' at fasting and have guided countless people with it.
Fasting requires alot of pre-prep, strict and close guidiance during fasting and very stringent post fasting procedures. Only when you follow closely, will you be able to reap great results like added radiance, added vitality, improved health, weight loss...
I will NOT recommend that you do fasting:
- If you do not have any fasting mentor (do it wrongly and you might do more harm to your body. I had people who fasted and did not follow post fast procedures and in the end had their faces turn black)
- If you are not well prepared mentally for it
- If you do not fast using additional health food like me. I use the HUNZA range of Indinine and VPlus to give my body ENERGY and NUTRIENTS when I fast so that I dun feel weak all over when I fast and so that I retain my metabolic rate.
What is your main aim?
DO you want to LOSE WEIGHT or are you looking for detox? If you want to lose weight, how much do you want to lose and in how long or how short a time?
Give me these details and email me and I will give you more suggestions, ok? ;)
Just please dun fast without guidiance... fasting is huge responsibility on your mentor's part, if you do not do it well, it may even harm your life!

Fasting will not make you lose weight. If you don't eat your metabolism actually slows down, and you will gain weight or have a harder time losing weight. Don't fast. If you want to lose weight why don't you try eating alot of fruits, vegetables, and low fat foods, and drink only water. It works. A little exercise, like walking, doesn't hurt either.

you can wake up around 4 in the morning and eat a normal breakfast then Around 6 at night eat as much as you want which is not as much as you think it really helps you lose weight there are no real health concerns

You already stated that you just might move with the primary man. I believe you must keep on with that. But there is not any regulation that says you can not additionally move out with the opposite man if he asks. Somewhere through the years men and women have got clear of honestly browsing for the correct individual and making complete committments to just one individual. I real consider that's aspect of the top divorce fee. You will have to take some time and date plenty of men so you'll uncover the sorts of man you'll real evetually spend your complete existence with. And I simply wish so as to add that courting does no longer imply intercourse. It manner simply placing out and getting to understand any person. The man that requested you out first does not need to have his emotions harm, so simply move out with him and feature amusing.
