Fasting for Weight Loss: Fasting for Weight Loss & Detoxification SHATTERS the Chains of Obesity & Sickness. Your Fountain of Youth & Healing is Here...

We live in a world that often tells us MORE IS BETTER. Fasting for weight loss, fitness and health may be good for the holy - some may say. But the common perception appears to be that hunger - REAL OR IMAGINED - must be appeased at all times and without question. And with the growth of technology, microwave goods and INSTANT EVERYTHING - taking the road-less-traveled of fasting for weight loss & improved health is NOT the most popular course of action. Live to eat even if it kills you later. I WANT IT ALL AND I WANT IT NOW.

The relentless and insane compulsion for immediate gratification, as it relates to food and eating, is leading millions to an early grave like blind lambs to an unforgiving (and self-inflicted) slaughterhouse". Fasting for weight loss - or ANY change requiring sacrifice - is the last thing on their minds. At least until illness strikes. Then, in panic, many run to hospitals and demand a CURE. The almighty doctor, some believe, is the solution to the obesity problem.

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY - rather than embraced by taking whatever action is required to prevent disease and improve quality of life - is bypassed in favor of pills, surgeries and countless other unnecessary procedures. TREAT MY SYMPTOMS, BUT DON'T ASK ME TO CHANGE MY WAYS... Don't ask me to be responsible for my own life. Don't confront me about my laziness and unwillingness to go through any discomfort to get better. Just FIX ME and send me home. Oh, and hurry - dinner's awaitin'!

FOOD HAS BECOME A DRUG ADDICTION just as destructive as cigarettes, alcohol, cocaine and heroin. Like the last days of the Roman Empire, excess is taking its victims in a carnage of obesity and food debauchery. In a perfectly legal fashion, the drug FOOD is claiming victims by the millions - many being oblivious (or indifferent) to the fact that they are killing themselves - ONE BITE AT A TIME.

A Way Out

But there is a way out, and it is NOT just a diet. The most important part of the solution is this: You must become fed up with living the way that you have. You must become willing to move away from your comfort zone and, instead, face the unknown and take responsibility for your health and wellness. THERE ISN'T A PERMANENT WAY OUT IF YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO STEP FORWARD. So, here are the options: You can stay in what is familiar and continue to produce the same adverse results, OR you can decide that you are going to lose weight once and for all and improve your health. What is it going to be?

Fitness Through Fasting is here to present fasting for weight loss (via juice, fruit and water fasts) as one of the best preventive cures you can practice. We will talk about the amazing benefit of long-term liquid and cleansing diets. Liquid diets are usually comprised of juices, fat-free or soy milk and various types of soups and mashed vegetable meals. Cleansing diets refer to the restriction of sugar and fats (among other foods) in preparation for a juice or water fast longer than 72 hours; or simply for body detoxification.

From my more than 20 years of experience with fasting for weight loss and health, I've put together a no-nonsense 9-month fasting course which we have named FastingOlogy.™ If you are interested in a step-by-step program to help you lose weight and improve your health through fasting, then this course - the first ever of its kind - can guide you to victory.

Fasting for weight loss and fitness helps the body RID ITSELF OF DISEASE-CAUSING TOXINS that accumulate in the bloodstream, fat deposits and digestive system from the food we eat, air we breathe and water we drink. Fasting also increases mental clarity, relieves depression and gives the person a powerful window of opportunity to make permanent eating-habit changes. Fasting for weight loss and fitness opens doors to INSIGHT AND SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING that does not surface while one is constantly gorging on cheeseburgers and French fries.

By fasting for weight loss, one gives the body time to rest from the constant process of digestion so it can divert its resources to healing and detoxification. An eating VACATION can renew a person's entire being and provide a fresh and dynamic perspective in every aspect of life. This is NOT an exaggeration, by the way. It is my hope that through the articles presented in this site, you too will give fasting a chance and receive the gift of life that it has given me and countless others. The ugly fact is this: FOOD TRULY CAN KILL.

A Plague of Epidemic Proportions

Particularly in the US, OBESITY HAS BECOME AND EPIDEMIC - a true plague. The US, to some extent, has become what I have come to call THE ANTI-PREVENTION NATION.™ Here is the alarming scenario: Millions - young and old - are swarming to hospitals seeking to be CURED. Unfortunately, many of them do little (IF ANYTHING) to prevent illness from surfacing in the first place. They allow themselves to become obese, toxic and sick but don't take action to get better. They are constantly visiting the doctor in search of THE MAGIC PILL while continuing to succumb to binging, sloth, apathy and despair.

Now this isn't to say that ALL MEDICATIONS are bad and worthless. This website is NOT dedicated to talking about THE EVILS OF MEDICINE as some may choose to do. Medicine is wonderful I myself have been helped by it during my path of recovery from liver illness and chronic depression. What we ARE talking about here is relying ONLY on doctors and medicine to address our personal health. Not wanting to assume personal responsibility; not being willing to do everything possible WITHIN MY GRASP to improve and enhance my health. Fasting for weight loss is a mighty weapon at your disposal.

In some cases, unnecessary gastric bypass surgeries are performed. For others, there is a a constant feeling of restlessness and personal dissatisfaction with their weight and health. And so, obesity and toxicity continue to produce their rabid harvest of sicknesses including diabetes, cancer, hypertension, heart disease and strokes (among others).Ultimately, if left unchecked, obesity and toxicity can lead those stricken to pay the ultimate price: DEATH. Or, it can produce a life of complacency and dreams that never come true. Fasting for weight loss gave me a drastic push away from these cunning and baffling destructive conditions ... and it can do the same for you!

Prevention ... A Radical Concept?

If you do not believe me - or perhaps think me an extremist - take it then from a national medical authority. Former US Surgeon General RICHARD CARMONA has said that "disease prevention is still a radical concept to most Americans". Watch THIS video and hear the disturbing facts from his own lips. According to Carmona, America's obesity quagmire is THE TERROR WITHIN.

National Security Threat

Carmona believes obesity in children is actually hurting national security because many are getting too fat for military service. A surge in childhood obesity, says Carmona, has come simultaneous to the rise in related chronic conditions as Type II diabetes and hypertension. The fact that these are middle-age diseases SHOWING UP IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN, Carmona said, is undermining the nation's strength. This is not an editorial, by the way. I myself could have been the president of THE ANTI PREVENTION NATION.™ I was 70 pounds overweight, slothful and depressed. Lived every day paralyzed by isolation, bitterness and self-pity. Suicidal and hopeless. Trapped.

If anybody came up to me and spoke of fasting for weight loss, I would probably have ridiculed them. Quietly, however, I lived in utter hopelessness and desperation. I wanted to be free. Yet was ashamed of my body, ashamed of my binging. I felt that my life was worthless, meaningless, pointless. So I ate some more. Who would want me anyways? Why try? Fasting for weight loss was my doorway to freedom.

The "DIET" Juggernaut

Diets to a great extent fail because, while facilitating weight loss initially, the dieter usually returns to poor eating habits once the regimen is over. This, of course, is not a generalization. There are many excellent diet programs that work at changing a persons behaviors as it relates to food. But, in most cases, good people find themselves trying every diet under the sun - yet the obesity and overeating problem resurfaces time and again. Fasting for weight loss incites a process of deep detoxification. It gives the body an invaluable opportunity to stop focusing most of its resources on digestion, allowing it instead to shift its attention to cleansing and tissue repair. Many have thus been healed of terminal illnesses.

What we wish to promote here is fasting for weight loss with PERMANENT change. Partial, intermittent fasts followed by a longer one of anywhere from 21 to 30 days and beyond - depending on your health and disposition. But that is not to say that unless you can fast for 30 days, then you should not fast at all. Even fasting for ONE day every two weeks can provide benefits - both in your mind and body. SO DON'T PROCRASTINATE ANY LONGER!

The time is NOW to live the life you deserve, and fasting is the doorway that led me to liberty. My personal experience, along with that of many others, is that fasting for weight loss, health and self-discipline can stop the obesity plague in its tracks. It can restore your entire being and take you to levels of clarity, energy and vitality that you never thought were possible. Fasting for weight loss can be your very own FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.
