Fasting for Weight Loss or Not
Friday, April 2nd, 2010 at 2:34 pm
Reading hundreds of articles, reviews, and case studies has really pushed me to explain this huge fasting for weight loss method that thousands are turning to for their weight loss goals and improving their diets.
Fasting has become a very popular weight loss method that people are claiming they have lost 30-40 pounds in only a 30-day fast that is pretty incredible. Some even have dropped 3-4 pounds in a single day. Is fasting really the best weight loss solution or is it just another hype? Another important to ponder on is fasting healthy for our bodies, and can fasting give people long lasting weight loss? Well, let me explain this fasting for weight loss solution, and you will be able to determine for yourself if it is the right choice for you.
Fasting Being Successful!
Clearly, fasting is an effective way to lose unnecessary body fat, but once the fat has melted away restoring a youthful physique, how do we keep it off? Fasting is an exhilarating way to begin a healthy diet, excess body fat quickly drops, bathroom mirror nodding approval, maybe for the first time in years.
Overeating or eating too fast, feeding cravings and emotions not hunger, eating calorie-concentrated foods with lack of physical activity, all lead to unwanted weight-gain. Fasting I believe in my experiences builds self-control, and that control gives you a life without worry, and gilt that comes with many eating disorders.
Fasting comes in many forms like juicing, herbs, cleansing, fruits, supplements, etc. but the most popular would have to be juicing and herbs.
Side Effects of Fasting!
Side effects from fasting are unless the fast is very short term; you can end up with low energy, weakness and lightheadedness, without any significant weight loss.
Furthermore, the absence of carbohydrates may lead to ketosis – a dangerous build up of ketones that pressurizes the kidneys. This is unhealthy and can be dangerous.
If you fast, you may drop pounds, but some of that weight will be muscle, and most of it will be water. You need to eat protein foods such as lean meat, eggs, low-fat or fat-free milk, or legumes (beans and peas), or you’ll be thin and flabby, not thin and shapely.
Don’t fast for long periods of time as you double the workload of your kidneys and you train your body to preferentially store fat. Fasting has it’s pro and cons like everything in this world but going to long without a balanced diet can lead to you losing valuable fat burning enzymes which keeps our bodies in balance.
If you still want to go on a fast, here are some tips that will help you succeed.
Here are a few tips:
Prepare yourself for a fast by gradually tapering off of acid-forming aka “junk foods and commence to consuming raw and cooked fruits and veggies to begin a milder cleansing process as these items are the best intestinal brooms for the colon.
Every now and again, 3 hours after supper and say an hour or so before retiring to sleep, drink an herbal tea laxative such as “Smooth Move Herbal Tea” during this preparatory stage.
Drink 1-2 quarts of unflavored lemonade in the mornings to balance the chemical reactions within the body and to restore it to an alkaline state.
Be mentally prepared for the task ahead of fasting.
Take things a little easier while fasting or on a mono-diet of fruit.
Avoid using microwaves at all costs
Fasting With Great Benefits
Fasting to remove unnecessary weight the natural way, plus learning how to keep it off for the rest of your life (please note that half of all Fasting Center International clients, on seven continents, are not fasting to lose weight);
Fasting to remove the 5-to-10-lb. inner, toxic waste dump now polluting the average adult’s cell, tissue and organ storage areas (chemical toxins, heavy metals, drugs, uneliminated metabolic wastes, excessive cholesterol and triglycerides in the bloodstream, arterial plaque, intestinal parasites, etc.);
Fasting to regain the energy you may previously have enjoyed (perhaps when you were more athletic);
Fasting to elevate yourself out of the clouded consciousness most spend their entire life in (unwittingly), up into the stratosphere of human potential;
Fasting to heighten mental clarity and all your senses, allowing you to see your life’s options in much clearer perspective, and then act upon them wisely;
Fasting to enhance your innate wisdom, spirituality, faith and human kindness, and
Fasting to move yourself back toward your life’s birthright potential of optimal health, increasing your happiness and healing power as you scientifically reset your body’s odometer and greatly enhance your quality of life!
When fasting, make sure you are doing it for the right reasons and not just to give you the edge on weight loss and reversing the anti aging process as our bodies are not made for it. Fasting can benefit our bodies when done right and with the right mind set. Fast to improve your control over your diet, and not just to conquer your weight loss goals.
Here are several more tips just that you might want to take a look at for developing a healthy body.
Several Tips for Maintaining a Healthy Life…
Increase the percentage of raw food in diet
- The number one thing you can do to extend health and vibrant living
is to increase raw food. Living food for a living body.
Eat natural unprocessed food
- Eat natural unprocessed whole grain foods and unrefined oils.
- Educate yourself on what is truly natural and what is often a
marketing ploy. Read the ingredients; do not be fooled by labels.
Eat when hungry
- Overeating taxes the body, stores fat, creates excessive mucus.
- Eat slowly and enjoy. Chew food well to assist digestion
- Feed the body, starve the cravings, and don’t feed depression.
Fasting for spiritual and physical cleansing
- Regular periods of detoxification and cleansing through juice fasting
or a raw food diet.
- Fasting can be a launching board to dietary change.
- A tranquil time of spiritual refreshment.
Exercise for mental and physical well being

- Cleansing the lymphatic system, increase metabolism for weight loss
management. Better circulation, strengthened lungs and heart.

Good luck and I wish you a happy and healthy life.

DETOX, TEA, FASTING—NUTS? The RAW FOOD DIET in the winter
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009 at 7:58 pm
CLICK(more info)⬆ http://life-regenerator.com * http://Donate.life-regenerator.com * http://Shop.life-regenerator.com * http://Tea.life-regenerator.com *
Please Note: I filmed this video last Tuesday when I went camping, before the start of my water fast that I am on right now…just saying that as you’ll be hearing me talk about eating nuts! All the commentary below is in the present tense just since it reads more easily that way… 
——————–
Get out into nature before she’s gone!
So it’s that colder time of year again for those of you in the northern hemisphere, so it’s time to eat a bit heavier if you feel that’s what you need to do in order to stay raw. In other words…
It is time to bring the fat back, jack!
So last night I sprouted some sunflower seeds and made a pâté out of it, and had celery, zucchini, carrots & spinach to dip into it.
It is certainly keeping me warm as I trek up the hill here…no, it didn’t snow where Krista & I are w/ the RV…I’m here hiking at a much higher elevation, as that’s where Scenic Hot Springs is! (look up Scenic, WA on a map to see where it is)
So this fall and winter you’ll need to experiment with what feels good for you in order to stay raw.
I recommend starting your day with HOT TEA! This morning’s breakfast was organic “Breathe Deep” Yogi Tea with apples & honey. I like to eat the honey first, mixing it in my mouth to get my digestive enzymes flowing…
ORGANIC YOGI TEA:

ORGANIC TEA (all brands):

So for when you want to eat nuts, listen up as this is important!
HOW TO SHOP FOR FRESH NUTS & SEEDS
(and not rancid ones!)
First off, please, please, please try and buy nuts & seeds in the SHELL, whenever possible. This is the EASIEST way to ensure they are FRESH & RAW.
OR…get some right here:
http://NUTS.life-regenerator.com
http://SEEDS.life-regenerator.com
Many of the nuts in the bulk bins in stores are RANCID! But if your only choice is to buy from the bulk bins, first look for ones labeled RAW and ORGANIC, if you can afford it. Then…sneak a nut from the bin while no one is looking & break the nut into two pieces and look at the insides of it: If it’s WHITE, then it’s FRESH! But if it’s LIGHT YELLOW/BROWNish, then it’s RANCID! What’s interesting about nuts & seeds (and oils too, for that matter) is that our taste buds are NOT good about deciphering rancidity! So do NOT trust your taste buds when testing nuts for freshness! Please perform this visual test instead!
Then, if you have time…SOAK the nuts & seeds that you want to eat overnight, straining them and allowing them to dry in the morning before eating. This makes them easier to digest! When you do this you will see that some of them actually begin to sprout & that’s a good thing! Keep in mind that once nuts & seeds are soaked you’ll need to put them in an airtight container & keep them in the fridge…where they will stay fresh for ONLY one week! So only soak the amount you will need for one week at a time…
COMMIT TO YOUR HEALTH!
Decide to commit yourself to raw food, or at least more fruits and vegetables, or at least to HEALTH! Design a commit that works for you, and stick to it! Your path may be full of trials and errors but that is okay, it means you are taking your health seriously and going forward with this! The important thing is to just never give up!
DETOX
For those interested in a deeper detoxification, there are other modalities you could experiment with such as:
~ Fruit Feasting / Fruit Mono Diets
~ Herbal Cleanse (e.g., a 3 Day Herbal Tea Cleanse)
~ Juice Fasting
~ Juice Feasting
~ Water Fasting (Please do NOT jump into water fasting without first reading some books on the topic & educating yourself very thoroughly!)
WATER FASTING BOOKS

JUICE FASTING BOOKS
http://JUICE-FASTING.life-regenerator.com
REMEMBER:
~ Fruits energize your cells, brain & nerves!
~ Herbs & greens heal and alkalize all the fluids and cells in your body!
~ In the fall & winter nuts and hearty plant foods like kale, cabbage & carrots keep you healthy and ‘pumped up’
~ Herbal teas & herbal broths keep you warm!
HERBAL BROTH w/ VEGGIES:
Make a hot broth with your favorite seasonings and then just drop your veggies into it before eating…this way, your veggies won’t get cooked, but they can still turn out being soft, tender & delicious to eat!
GO OUT INTO NATURE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!
KEEP ON CULTIVATING HEALTH IN EVERY WAY THAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY CAN!
**IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY, please FALL IN LOVE w/ EVERYTHING, both the ups AND the downs!
