Looking for some fasting tips
to kick start your fasting weight loss program? Here are some of my personal
tips that I want to share with you.
1. Identify
the tips provider. Many give warnings and horror stories about fasting
had actually never fasted. Best to look for tips from someone who has the real
fasting experiences.
2. Be well prepared. Forget about some
traditional eating rules that you might have been told a million times, such as
breakfast is the single most important meal in a day, eat breakfast like a king,
eat 6 to 10 small meals in a day is completely necessary to lose weight…and so
on. These rules are true to food companies but not you.
3. Stick with short term
intermittent fasting. Researches have proven that short term fasting
does not slow down the metabolism or cause any physical damage. You won't even
lose an ounce of muscle while losing weight. If you want to find out the
scientific facts, I would encourage your reading Brad Pilon's Eat Stop Eat.
4. Do
not binge on food. This is one of the most important fasting tips I
would ever give. Short term fasting is a good opportunity to start off with
healthy eating habits along with losing weight. Eating crazily before and after
will destroy your fasting effort and can be dangerous. Read more about breaking a
fast.
5. Start slow, work
progressively. Try skip breakfast to begin with. Extend your fasting
window gradually until you feel comfortable doing a full 24-hour fasting. For
beginners, you may find it hard to go through your first or second attempt of
24-hour fast. You may feel irritated, experience headaches and feel a little of
hunger. Believe me, the more fasts you do, the less these problems will bother
you and you'll feel better.
6. Start with juice
fasting. If you have no fasting experience and want to give it a try,
go for juice fasting first, as it is easier than water fast. Also juice fast
provides most of the nutrients and calories that solid foods provide. You just
give your body a chance to experience a period without solid food. More
juice fasting
tips.
7. Keep
busy. Food is sometimes a psychological need rather than a physical
need. To withstand hunger, simply don't think about it. Do something (non
food-related) that engages and therefore distracts you as much as possible.
8. Keep
silent. Seek support only from people with fasting experience. If you
tell everyone that you are fasting, you're sure to receive discouraging comments
such as people warning you that you will pass out at any moment and starve to
death. As for myself, someone even satirized me of saving food money by fasting.
9. Keep
fasting simple and natural. Stick to juice and/or water. Forget about
supplements, vitamins, protein drinks, adding egg white powder or mineral salts
to your water…and any other fancy little things to complement your shortage of
food. If you do all these, you are not dedicated to fasting and I'm sure you'll
quit pretty soon. Eat normal in between your fasting days.
10. One slightly longer
fast per month. While 16-24 hour fasts are easy to do, try to include
one slightly longer fast such as 30 hours once a month. For example my 30-hour
fast looks like this: breakfast on day 1, dinner on day 2. That way I'm still
eating everyday. However you can opt to do dinner on day 1 and breakfast on day
3. Do it when you feel comfortable and your schedule permits.
You may find lots of other fasting
tips. Even real fasters may have different views. For instance, some even don't
consider juice fasting as a real fast. After all, there isn't a single fasting
bible that has been approved by all. Make your own sensible judgement as to
follow fasting tips that sound sensible and work well for you.
I wish you best.

When people come to the subject of healthy fasting, there’s a lot of misinformation and myths surrounding this topic and it can sometimes make it difficult to get to the heart of the matter. Here we’re going to take a look at six of the more long-standing myths that accompany the issue of fasting.
Fasting has been around since time immemorial, and many of the first references to it come from the Bible. They knew even back then the many and varied benefits one can derive from fasting, whether it is for short or longer periods of time. There are many examples from all religions that detail the benefits of fasting from a spiritual perspective, but there are also many other benefits to be realized from a health and wellness standpoint as well. First, let’s debunk some myths!
- Fasting is a religious activity. Not necessarily. Many devoted holistic health practitioners employ some form of fasting into their health regimen, whether it is for cleansing or for weight loss help.
- You can fast in many ways. Partially true, but the spirit of this gets us thinking in the wrong direction. The purpose of a fast isn’t to necessarily "fast from chocolate for a day", but to be part of a well-thought out health plan that emphasizes a total health solution. Many people decide to fast from whatever their latest obsession is, in the hopes that this will somehow help.
- Long-term fasting can rid the body of toxins. Not true. Healthy fasting does not need to be long. Long term fasting can deplete the body of many, many necessary and vital nutrients, and bring on a host of associated problems due to the body’s inability to fight off anything. There is a reason people die from long term fasts.
- Political fasting is a viable way to make a point. Doing a prolonged fast for a political cause is one of the worst ways to make a point. Short, one or two day fasts are sufficient, but probably don’t have the sensational aspect political believers seek.
- Fasting is only for medical purposes. Not true. While there are valid medical reasons when a fast is recommended, such as before surgery or blood tests, there are other useful benefits of healthy fasting.
- Fasting is way too hard. Again, not true! A one or two day fast can be accomplished with no problem by almost anyone.
Fasting can be a useful tool to aid in a total health plan. Done correctly there are virtually none of the popular “side effects” such as light-headedness or weakness. Make sure to not be derailed by fears and myths and you’ll find that healthy fasting can in fact be a great help!
