Fasting Diet

Posted on October 16, 2007 in Fasting Diets

Fasting is being followed since ages as a religious or therapeutic practice. During fasting, one intentionally abstains from food for a precise duration of time.

In the first 24 hours of the fasting, body utilizes the stored form of carbohydrates to provide energy for various body processes. When the carbohydrate reserves are exhausted, stored fats are the second preferred source of energy than the proteins. Muscle tissues are often lost, even during the short term fasting. Fasting is generally accompanied by headaches, weakness, depression and nausea which results because of the release of nitrogen and ammonia during muscle breakdown.

Modified fasting methods in which juices, teas and detox diet are consumed are comparatively easier than only water fasting. Still these modified fasts should also be practiced for a limited duration.

2 to 3 days of juice fasting is recommended before and after the water fast as this combination has more effective cleansing action. It is better to take distill water during the fast as it has magnetic properties and the ability to soak and suspend huge quantity of toxins and to flush them out of the body.
