How? Make up your mind and start a SEVEN-DAY water fast right now! The
benefits of water fasting for weight loss are always extraordinary. It is not uncommon for a seven-day fast to
result in weight loss of 20 pounds or more. If you are overweight as I was, losing 20 pounds quickly can
substantially reduce your risk factor for a variety of ilnesses such as Type II Diabetes and heart disease, among
many others. It will also relieve the stress on the joints caused by excess weight.
AND THAT CAN HAPPEN IN JUST SEVEN DAYS OF WATER FASTING!
When you fast,
the digestive system goes into hibernation, similar to a bear in winter. The body shifts its focus from
constantly digesting and filtering food to burning accumulated fat. It eats away at the fat
reserves and slims you down quickly. The body becomes a large furnace, focusing strictly on
burning fat reserves and cleansing toxins in the colon and blood stream.
While water fasting for weight loss you will experience weakness, dizziness, nausea and perhaps even fever
and flu-like symptoms. It may become very hard to get up or even perform the most basic tasks. Rest and more
water are the best antidotes. Stock up on seltzer water and green tea for energy and to soothe hunger
pains. You will likely also have bad breath for a few days and feel a metallic taste in your mouth. You may
notice a white, pasty substance in your tongue.
DO NOT BE ALARMED. This is normal passes by day seven, in
most cases. Regardless, my message is this: Don't you think that going through a little hunger and
discomfort is a small price to pay to get healthy? Yes, IT IS a small price to
pay!!! It is a much
lesser price than living our whole lives in obesity and then acquiring a chronic illness in the end as a
direct result of our weight and poor health -DON'T YOU THINK?
Right away some argue with me and say:"Yeah, but most of that weight one loses in seven days of fasting
is just water weight!" Yes, it IS mostly water weight... but don't you think
it's definitely one heck of good start? Is it better then to do nothing? Don't you think a body stricken with
obesity will be thankful for twenty less pounds upon it?
Whether the weight lost is water weight or
kiwi-flavored Kool-Aid makes no difference to me:TWENTY POUNDS IS TWENTY POUNDS!
You will be amazed at the benefits that water fasting for weight loss can give you in just a few days.
The know-how that you will gain by water fasting for weight loss for seven days will be huge. Perhaps
you'll even get inspired (like I did) and start doing it more often and for longer periods of time. In that
case your weight loss would be even greater.
My own personal experience should serve to motivate you.
Several years ago I did a water fast that lasted for 60 days. How much do you think I lost? I had never
experienced anything so amazingly-powerful. I LOST 65 POUNDS!
Water fasting for weight loss gives the liver and other vital organs time to rest, detoxify and heal. This
was particularly important for me because I was battling a liver condition.
I was obese, sick and desperate. Go to the
detox fasting page to read more. But that was just me.
There are some who fast for
the same amount of time and lose as much as 100 pounds. My question to you
is: In which way would experiencing this type of quick weight loss improve the quality of your life
and health? Take your time and think about the answer. Visualize yourself thin and tell me how it feels.
Maybe even jot it down in a journal and take a look at it. I can "guess" that the impact on
your life and health from water fasting for weight loss would be dramatic.
How can ANYONE who struggles with food and weight turn a blind eye to these numbers? It makes me sad beyond
words to realize that some may be content to live their lives obese. I just wish I could shake some sense into
them. Let them know that water fasting for weight loss can literally transform their lives.
But many don't
want to hear it. Instead, they grimace when I mention water fasting for weight loss as a plausible solution
to their obesity problem.
Do you understand why I am so adamant about this? Look, there is just no time to waste. Life is too short.
It doesn't matter if your mind is telling you that you are not strong enough ... that you cannot lose weight
... whatever.
I am here to tell you that YOU CAN do it and that water
fasting for weight loss can take you there faster than anything else on the phase of this earth.
It is only a matter of YOU MAKING UP YOUR MIND TO TAKE ACTION!
Indeed, water fasting for weight loss can foster positive health improvements in a very short period
of time.
Now that is NOT to say that you should be hasty
and start water fasting for weight loss blindly, especially if you suffer from a medical condition. I am not
advocating being
careless. But I DO speak FOR personal responsi
bility; doing everything within our grasp to achieve and maintain optimum health.
If your only excuse not to
try water fasting for weight loss is lazyness or not wanting to go through discomfort, then I challenge you
to get over it and go
for it anyways! I am certain that after you see the amazing results you'll return for more. Maybe you'll
even decide to change your entire lifestyle. Such was the case with me. And it is my prayer that at least
ONE person vising this site can experience the power and freedom that
fasting has given me.
One common reason why some people don't want to try water fasting for weight loss is because they are fearful
of it. Many have the misconception that they will "starve" if they do not eat for seven to thirty days.
That hunger - real or imagined - must be appeased at once and without question. That was me for
many years. Well, that type of mentality, without a doubt, is leading some to an early grave. I say this not
out of judgment, but because it almost did it to me.
I can tell you that completing a 40-day water fast has
been one of the most amazing experiences of my life. If I was still packing all of that weight, I am sure that
I would be dead by now. Fasting for 40 days relieved a terrible liver condition that was killing me,
helped me to lose 65 pounds and opened the doors from the hell of depression and hopelesness that
was eating me alive. It has brought me back to life and given me the motivation and inspiration
to write the words you are now reading!
Weight Considerations
Once you have done at least a seven day fast, you may wish to consider doing a longer one, especially if
you are more than 50 pounds overweight. Most of the huge weight loss, as I said, occurrs in the first seven
says of fasting.
From there you can expect to lose anywhere between one-to-two pounds daily.
That
amount of weight loss is STILL faster than what any diet out there can provide. It's not that diets aren't
useful. Many of them are great. But, for those who are obese, it is usually better to fast
FIRST to shed a
good chunk of dangerous pounds right away- THEN adopt a healthy
nutritional diet.
Not willing to do a seven-day fast? How about three days? Even a three-day water fast twice a year will do
wonders for your health. But, whether you stick to only three days or decide to go yonder to 21 and 40 days, I
do encourage you DO SOMETHING!
Make up your mind to try it and see what happens.
What are you going to do?
Are you going to continue to gain weight and feel bad? I am giving you a direct and to-the-point solution
RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.ACT ON IT! Do you not
realize how valuable you are how much better your life and health will be if you get that weight off? What is
holding you back? What is the problem? GET STARTED TODAY!
Look it's not just me. I am NOT
making all of this up because I have nothing beter to do. More an more
scientific studies
are emerging which suggest that the less a persons eats, the better that individual's health will likely be,
and the longer his or her lifespan will be. So, NO MORE EXCUSES!
(geez... Am I raving? :-) Seriously: This is your time! Do what it takes. Make your life what it
deserves to be. Water fasting for weight loss is the door, and it is wide open. All you have to do
now is walk through it. ARE YOU WILLING?
Again, for those who are stubborn,
water fasting will cause you to lose as much as 20 pounds during the first seven days, and one-to-two pounds
each day afterwards. These numbers are averages and can be more, or less - depending on your particular
body makeup. But it never goes below one pound per day. Need I say more? What are you waiting for?
The 10-Day Hump
If your interest is to lose a large amount of weight in the least amount of time possible, then water
fasting is definitely the way to go. It is the first seven to nine days that will be the most uncomfortable.
This is the good news. I can tell you from personal experience that after ten to eleven days, hunger pains
are all but gone and you will feel great.
So don't think that water fasting for weight loss is suffering
from beginning to end. In fact, don't think of it as suffering PERIOD. Think of it as an
INVESTMENT IN YOUR FUTURE. See it as a minor sacrifice that will yield you much health, youth
and vitality. You will not regret it.
Resources & Recommendations For U
A key resource that helps me immensely when water fasting for weight loss is to add
Himalayan Crystal Salt to the water several
times a week. The benefits have been so amazing that I have continued to add the salt to my drinking water
even when not fasting. The salt is known to contain energy and healing properties that assist in
bringing the body's regulatory system
(homeostasis) into balance.
This fosters improved blood pH, digestive
system functions, brain activity, respiration, and it also helps remove heavy metals from your body.
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 support, you can visit the
Personal 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.
