If you arrived at this website, then it is very possible that you desire quick weight loss.
Whether you are just ten or twenty pounds overweight or fifty or even more than one hundred - fasting is the discipline that can give you the edge you are looking for.
Here's the potential scenario: By abstaining from solid food for seven to 40 days - with water fasting - you can expect to lose as much as one pound per day.
During the first complete day of water fasting (24 hours), one normally loses two pounds, although this is made up of mostly water.
Every day afterwards you will lose about one pound during when water fasting. But these quick weight loss numbers will vary depending on your body.
I have seen cases in which persons have lost more than twenty pounds in just the first ten days - completing 30 and 40 day juice and water fasting programs having lost in excess of 60 pounds!
Dramatic and Rapid Weight Loss Fasting
When I did my 40-day water fast, I lost a massive 45 pounds. Some time later I did another water fast for 21 days and lost a total of 23 pounds.
These water fasting quick weight loss numbers have been pretty consistent with other persons I have helped as well. Again, these are averages - your quick weight loss may be greater or slightly lesser depending on your body chemistry and overall structure.
With juice fasting, you can - on average - lose anywhere between three to five pounds per week - depending on what type of juice you are drinking.
Some people do a juice fast but add all sorts of additional ingredients as honey, nuts and protein powder.
I am not against that, but personally suggest you try to keep it to a minimum. Stick to juice fasting in its most basic and raw form. Keep it simple.
For more on the vegan, raw food and fasting with juice topic, check out our discussions on Juice Fasting and Fruit Fasting when you have a chance.
Some Recommendations
Before we begin the quick weight loss fasting discussion, let me take a brief moment to point you toward some resources that have assisted my dieting and fasting efforts over the years.
If you are serious about juice fasting, then the most important tool you will need will be a good juicer.
We have gone through dozens and dozens of juicer reviews and highly recommend the Jack Lalanne Power Juicer -- The Breville Juicer Fountain as highly durable models that will consistently yield you high-quality juice - even from large fruits and vegetables.
For water fasting, the very best purifiers hands down include The Aquasana Water Purifier -- The Portable Miox Water Purifier.
The Miox is good for outings. I like to go water fasting in the mountains, for example, and find it to be an awesome tool to keep the water I drink clean and free of toxins.
It works well with salt water also. Pretty amazing. Even fits in my pocket.
If you are interested in deep, deep purification, I invite you to come to the Water Ionizer page for more on that technology and information on the KYK Harmony product we use and recommend.
Also, visit The Anti-Prevention Nation© EXODUS Fasting Lose Weight Shop for Top Picks on fasting and colon health books, cleansing and detoxification kits, more juicers and general colon cleansing supplies and suppositories.
For what we consider to be the very best colon cleansing, liver detox, diabetes control and anti-aging products, surf over to the Fitness Quest Health Store when you have an opportunity.
If there is any product that you are looking for that is not in any of these pages, or if you have any questions or need support in any specific area, please do not hesitate to Contact Us.
Take It Easy
During the fasting weight loss program, limit your exercise activity to walking - at least 15 to 30 minutes per day if you are able.
Walking will actually get your mind off the hunger pains and reduce them.
Moreover, drop by the Fasting and The Mind section for a growing discussion of what to do with the negativity that will arise when you start to feel hungry.
I found detox diet fasting to have a profound impact on the mind, as food is a very powerful source of comfort and shield for emotions.
When the food is taken away for a season, my mind for days fell into a state of revolt which bombarded me with intense sadness, rage, self-pity, hopelessness and even vivid dreams and nightmares.
The Fasting Quick Weight Loss Process
The first few days of a fast, the quick weight loss will mostly be from water.
Your body will dump bloating liquid accumulations in your skin, especially if your diet included substantial amounts of salt.
When you enter days three and four, the body will begin to burn stored fat as energy.
The body starts to consume the excess fat weight for energy while you are fasting. This process is known as Ketosis and it is a sure way to achieve rapid weight loss.
Ketosis is like feeding a fire with wood (fat) you already have, instead of continuing to collect (eat) more wood (food) that is not being used.
The hunger pains will more than likely hit you when you pass six to eight hours of fasting.
There is really no way to go around this. Of course there are some key supplements that you can use to make the process a little easier.
My top recommendation is that, while fasting, you use a combination of green tea and African cactus Hoodia Gordonii to help with energy and hunger pains.
Visit Green Tea Weight Loss for a discussion on how green tea can spur quick weight loss and give you energy.
On that page you will also find our Top Pick recommendations on green tea leaves, tablets and powder for your consideration.
Hoodia Weight Loss
There has been much uproar and massive advertising and hype related to the appetite-suppressing qualities of African cactus flower Hoodia Gordonii.
I am NOT here to blow whistles and make promises of effortless weight loss.
That, sadly, does not exist. Fasting provides quick weight loss, but there is a price to pay.
The aim of this website is to support you through the fasting rough spots and recommend the best products that have helped us over the years. Our chief aim is to be of support and help to you! Good to have you here.
We do not wish to direct you to dozens of products and thus side-track our primary discussion - fasting for quick weight loss and fitness.
Bottom line: I use Hoodia and it does help reduce hunger pains -- somewhat.
Hoodia is NOT a magical cactus that will make ALL of your hunger evaporate. You will still feel hunger. But it will be lessened.
I don't say this to be harsh or sarcastic, but because one of the reasons my quick weight loss efforts always failed was because I expected pills and supplements to work magic. I do NOT want YOU to suffer the same setbacks that I did.
In terms of Hoodia, I have tried all types of different varieties and have received the best results with these 100% pure NB HOODIA SUPREME - 60 vegi cap tablets. This site takes ONLY phone orders - the 800 number is at the bottom of that screen once it opens. Their products are great.
Green Tea & Hoodia
Take two to four of these per day. Two in the morning, one later when hunger attacks, and another later to further assist you with hunger.
Do not take more than four per day. Mix them with a cup of green tea in the morning and another in the afternoon, whenever hunger strikes.
If you are taking green tea tablets, take two of Hoodia and two of green tea in the morning and two of Hoodia and one green tea in the afternoon.

Y! MyWebThat is the exact formula I use when fasting and it does help.
Remember, green tea does contain some caffeine and it may affect your sleeping if you take them too late in the day.
To get a wider spectrum of the different ones available go here to Browse Other Hoodia Products. 
Following the above link, you will all types of Hoodia products imaginable under the sun, including tablets, soft gels, lollipops, power bars, patches ... you name it.
Remember, Hoodia does work, but it WILL NOT eliminate ALL hunger from your fasting efforts. Use it, but don't expect it to be a miracle please.
For any other vitamins or supplements, I highly recommend the The House of Nutrition website linked to the right.
Their selection and prices are very good with fast shipping.
Hoodia P57 Particle
In search for sustained and quick weight loss, you may have come across P57 Hoodia products.
P57, in simple terms, is the molecule in Hoodia that gives the cactus it's appetite suppressant properties.
P57 Hoodia products are prepared with an evolving scientific process that isolates the hunger-killing molecule in the cactus.
So the pitch is that you get ONLY get the part of the cactus that makes you less hungry, not the entire flower with all of its other elements, as is the case with 100% pure Hoodia powder.
I have found some of these P57 products that do work, although the molecule isolation process will continue to be optimized for years to come.
That system is up and coming and certainly is one to watch.
I am certain over future years Hoodia will continue to improve and assist many to achieve sustained and quick weight loss.
In the meantime, I would suggest sticking to 100% pure powdered Hoodia.
The 20:1 Hoodia
Another potentially confusing issue with Hoodia are the products labeled 20:1 extract.
To learn more about Hoodia, its origins and how it was discovered, visit Hoodia in Wikipedia.
In essence, UK Pharmaceutical firm Phytopharm is the one that owns a patent on the "process to extract the hoodia plant".
Still, many other companies are doing it and marketing their own version of the 20:1 Hoodia extract product.
How? Phytopharm and other Hoodia-producing companies use about 20 lbs of the raw cactus plant to produce 1 lb of Hoodia powder.
The premise is that the 20:1 Hoodia is therefore more powerful because it is concentrated. Thus the 20:1 extract terminology.There are many fakes and scams.
Please be careful. The products we recommend here are all tried and good quality. But there are many out there that are not. Stick to websites you can trust.
Let us now go to Fasting Quick Weight Loss Diet for a little more on Hoodia, Bach Flower Extract, and to continue our discussion on quick weight loss through fasting.
If you prefer, visit us at In Dire Need of a Fasting Rapid Weight Loss Diet where I talk more about when I first got started with fasting and how, being obese, my need for quick weight loss was desperate.
We want to be of support, encouragement through your fasting for quick weight loss efforts and beyond. It is our sincere desire that all your dreams come true.
Remember: ENJOY YOUR PROCESS! ENJOY YOUR LIFE!
