Fasting: The “Fastest” Way to Lose Weight

Copyright 2005 Foras Aje

The author of the acclaimed “Mucusless Diet Healing

System”, Prof Arnold Ehret once said “If one way is

true...it is the way of Nature!” It will be an

understatement to say he was and is so correct.

In this day and age when everyone desires to be slim or

slimmer as the case may be, only very few people know that

one sure-fire, all natural, method can lead to a slimmer

and more importantly healthier person.

This method is as old as the mountains and is known as

Fasting.

It is by far a greater cure of our ills-both physical and

mental-than all of the drugs of the medical fraternity

combined and when combined with an exclusive mucus-binding

(alkaline forming) diet of mainly fruits, leafy and root

vegetables (raw and cooked) and even basic exercises that

involve the use of one’s own body weight for resistance

such as Yoga, Calisthenics and Pilates, a well conducted

fast can reap untold benefits for those seeking to lose

weight.

There are several types of fasts that can be beneficial for

weight loss.

1. The complete water fast: This, admittedly, should be

conducted with extreme caution or in a specialized

sanitarium if undertaken more than 3 days.

2. The Juice Fast: This is much easier for the general

populace and can be undergone as long as you feel like it.

3. The Fruit Fast: This, well, is really not a fast per

se…but when one lives exclusively on SEASONAL ORGANIC

fruits for days on end…meaning mono meals (2 at the most )

of only one kind of fruit say Apples in Fall, Melons in

summer for a week plus, you will be bound to see the

benefits.

4. The Dry Fast: This is another camouflaged fast where one

consumes ONLY dry fruits such as dates; figs etc for 3 days

or thereabout and then breaks the fast with a laxative.

Though highly praised in some quarters, it’s not so common.

The second and third choices are by far my personal

recommendations for those seeking to lose weight. A friend

of mine tried the second choice after months of badgering

and was able to eventually see the awesome cuts in his

abdominal cavities. You should have heard him exclaim on

the phone to me: “Foras…I got a six-pack man…and I didn’t

even do no sit-ups…!” Moreover, his supposed hereditary

red-eyes cleared up after several eye-doctors had told him

it was just a genetic trait…yeah, right!

Being radical in nature, it must be undertaken with care

and although I have covered it in chapter 17 of my e-book

“fitness: inside and out”, do feel free to do some research

before undertaking a fast or a restricted fruit diet.

Here are a few tips:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Be mentally prepared for the task ahead of fasting.

5. Take things a little easier while fasting or on a

mono-diet of fruit.

6. Avoid using microwaves at all costs. I touched on this

subject in the free section on controlling acne in my site.

Though not a conclusive list of the dos and don’ts of

fasting be well informed that when undertaken properly,

you’d not only lose the undesired weight, but you’d be well

on your way to a cleaner and better you in no time.

For weight loss, Fasting, my friends is the ‘fastest’ way

to improved health!
