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.

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 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.

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.

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.

An alternate method of abstinence is a partial method when some solid foods are still included in the diet. This diet is not dependent upon the quantity of food you eat. Limiting or excluding specific food types is what places it in this category. Partial fasts include particular diets, such as the rice diet.

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.

Fasting offers you the opportunity to lose weight in a healthy way. If you hope to tone your body after the weight loss, you will be required to do suitable exercises to achieve your goal. It may not be possible for you to do the exercises during the period of abstinence, but this is dependent on how you react to the overall process.
