does anyone reccomend fasting,,,have you tried it,and have you experienced any benifits?

Answer 1

Fasting won't hurt you, but it's definitely NOT something you should do everyday.

Does it work? Well, that would depend. Are you fasting to cleanse your body or lose weight? It will definitely help cleanse you're body, but you won't lose any pernament weight.

The best type of fasting? Well, the best time to fast is usually on a weekend (at least for me). Stay home, don't do anything that burns too many calories, relax, and drink PLENTY of water...

The side effects for fasting for a period of 24 hours are slim to none. You will most likely be starving the next day, but it's nothing fatal. Do NOT fast for a period longer than 24 hours. This will cause extremely harmful problems to your body, and even death or a coma may result.

Answer 2

No fasting is the wrost for you.

Okay...I only started last monday...All I do is walk one hour every morning. I wear a calorie counter monitor to loose weight by the numbers. I have already lost one pant size and 7 pounds. And its only been 8 days!


Here it is:

Helpful Tips for weight loss:

1)A good way to loose weight is to use a calorie counter watch

Keep to a 1,200 food intake

Add 1,200 plus 3,500 (equals one pound of fat) ...and that is the total amount of calories you need to burn each day. Its actually really easy once you start watching the numbers and it doesn't seem like work or exercise. Its just a matter of changing the way you think about loosing weight.

I use this method when i gain some pounds. The first time I did this I went from 168 to 127

2) Most people do not get enough water in their system. Water is your body's principal chemical component, comprising, on average, 60 percent of your weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.

Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. To determine if you are getting enough water use this simple formula.. Take your weight, for example 150 pounds and divide by 2. Take your answer which is 75 lbs and change it to ounces, in this case 75 ounces. That is how many ounces of water you need a day. Your body performs mostly on water. If you make sure you get enough water everyday your body will perform at top notch and your body will no longer have the cravings of junk food. You will have a better performing body system to help you work out and feel better thru out your day.

Answer 3

nobody should ever fast unless your doctor told you so (e.g. before surgery)
you can lose fat only creating a slight deficit in daily caloric intake otherwise all you lose is water weight and muscle and slow down your metabolism which makes you gain back even more afterwards.
