Fasting for Weight Loss: Fasting for Weight Loss SHATTERS the Chains of Obesity and Sickness ...

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 often 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 most of their minds. At least until illness strikes. Then, in panic, many run to the hospitals and demand a "cure." The almighty doctor, some believe, is the solution to the obesity and toxicity problem. Personal Responsibility can, in some cases, be bypassed in favor of pills, surgeries and countless other unnecessary procedures.

But the truth is much, much dimmer: 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. Fitness Through Fasting is here to help you explore fasting for weight loss (via juice, fruit and water fasts) as one of the best preventive "cures" you can practice. We also 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 intestinal detoxification.

The bottom line is this: Fasting for weight loss and fitness can help the body rid itself of disease-causing toxins that accumulate in the bloodstream and digestive system from the food we eat, air we breathe and water we drink. Fasting can also increase mental clarity, relieve depression and give the "faster" previously-untapped motivation 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, 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," in turn, 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. I personally have experienced it and it is my hope that through the articles presented in this site, you too will give it a chance and receive the gift of life that fasting for weight loss 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 an epidemic - a true plague. The US, to some extent, has become what we shall call The Anti-Prevention Nation.© Why? --> Here is the alarming scenario: Millions - young and old - are swarming to hospitals seeking to be "cured" yet, unfortunately, the mass majority do little if anything to prevent illness from surfacing in the first place. They are allowing themselves to become obese. Toxic. Sick. This overeating plague causes quality of life to go down - physically and mentally.

Many overweight and obese people have trouble with their social lives. Many are depressed and prefer to isolate. Others are constantly visiting the doctor in search of "the magic pill" while continuing to succumb to heartbreaking binging and compulsive overeating. 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 and overall wellbeing.

In some cases, unnecessary gastric bypass surgeries are performed. In lesser cases, there is simply a constant feeling of restlessness and dissatisfaction with ones weight and physical condition. Obesity and Toxicity produce a 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 gone on the record to say that disease prevention is still a radical concept to most Americans. According to Carmona, America's obesity quagmire is the Terror Within. He said obesity in children is actually hurting national security because many are getting too fat for 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 Fat, slothful, depressed, 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 hopelesness 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 crucial cleansing and tissue repair. Many have thus been healed of terminal illnesses."

What we wish to promote here is "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 you with substantial 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. It can, in essence, be your own Fountain of Youth.

Fasting - NOT Bullimic Starvation

This website will focus on fasting as a lifestyle for weight loss, well-being and overall fitness. We will take you step by step through the different ways you can fast, information on how your body is likely to react, and encouragement when you feel overwhelmed - when hunger pains are weakening your resolve and beckoning you to give in.

Let us be clear that we are, by no means, talking about fasting for weight loss as starvation or bulimic practices. We DO NOT endorse such behavior and ALWAYS encourage you to visit your doctor FIRST - before you attempt a fast longer than three days. You can sign up for The Anti-Prevention Nation © e-zine for bi-weekly motivation, fasting tips and general food for thought.

Fitness Through Fasting.com Resources

Recently we also launched our brand new FastingOlogy course, a 9-month training comprised of weekly lessons in PDF format delivered via e-mail, at a cost of $23 monthly. I have searched across the Internet and have NOT found any ONE course dedicated strictly to helping people transform their health and lose dramatic amounts of weight via fasting and detoxification. In FastingOlogy, members are guided through the process of transforming eating habits, achieving deep digestive system detoxification, as well practicing water and juice fasts from 24 hours to 30 days in length. It is truly a life-changing journey.

Furthermore, if at any time you wish to receive some one-one-one coaching and fasting for weight loss support, you can visit the Coaching Page and sign up for daily interaction with me via private message board. The cost is $85 monthly, paid via Paypal. We want to be of support, encouragement and inspiration in every possible way that we can. Dont' forget to drop by Fasting Forum I and/or Fasting Forum II and join the community conversation. You can ask for feedback on a question and/or concern, look for a fasting buddy and/or add your knowledge for everyone's benefit.

If you have experience with fasting and have received benefits from this amazing discipline, please help! We want to continue carrying the life-saving message of fasting, so your input is highly regarded and needed.

Finally, we also are seeking for juice fasting practitioners to help with the Jucing Recipes Forum. We want EVERYONE to share their favorite and personal juice fasting recipes there for the benefit of the entire community. The entries thus far have been paltry, and I very much would like to see more of you contribute by writing about your juice fasting recipes knowledge!

I am going to continue enhancing it with recipes that I know and use, but I want this page to be community made! So if you are experienced at juice fasting for weight loss, PLEASE share your recipes with us! It is our goal to bring people together so they can motivate and support one another when fasting for weight loss.

Fasting Lessons from History

Looking for wisdom, we can look at the ancients. For thousands of years, fasting has been used by religions worldwide to force spiritual breakthrough. To force the hand of God -- so to speak -- and accomplish what was not otherwise possible. We will not enter deeply into dogmatic discussion here. But I can tell you from first-hand experience that fasting can and will produce dramatic effects in your life. If you arrived at this website, then you are here for a reason. And that reason is changing your life for the better by addressing and overcoming your weight and/or obesity problems.

Fasting for weight loss is a mighty tool that can help you achieve the change you seek. Welcome aboard. We are honored to have the privilege of supporting you in this life-changing quest of weight loss, fitness and self-mastery.

Godspeed!
