People can lose weight quickly when fasting, but what good does it do unless they know how to fast for permanent weight loss?
People who drop unwanted weight quickly by fasting come to the day when the fast ends. It’s what you do next that will make a difference in whether or not the weight comes back on or stays off. While fasting, we give our digestive systems time off. This is one of the reasons people who fast feel more energetic.
Another benefit to fasting is that it helps people realize they can do without food. This can be a catalyst to a real lifestyle change and can translate to permanent weight loss, if you can carry the lessons and habits you learned through fasting into a new healthier lifestyle. For example, give up snacking between meals. This can be considered mini-fasting.
When I interviewed Peter Glickman regarding the Master Cleanse Diet, he explained the importance of eating healthy once the fast ends and part of this is to not go back to overeating.There are different ways to apply fasting principles to life after you’ve lost your weight.
Some people fast one day a month, others fast one day a week, or fast between meals. To learn how to fast for permanent weight loss is to learn how to carry the lessons learned from fasting into your everyday life and eat less.
