This topic ‘does fasting lose weight’ will be researched further over the next few weeks as we go because I have been fascinated by the huge amount of information available out there, on this topic. In theory, the whole reason why fasting does not appear to be a good for losing fat or losing weight is because it reduces your body’s internal metabolism hence causing you to lose less fat.

While there are advantages to fasting including the cleansing of toxins and other unwanted agents (for lack of a better word, maybe I should just use “filth”) from your body, I was particularly interested in fasting as a way of losing weight.

These are my own findings so take it with a grain of salt because every person is different. Need I not remind you that whatever may work for me, may not necessarily work for you. In saying that, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend people to try it themselves, even if it’s just for a few days.

Please note that any fasting including water only fasting, should never be attempted without the advice of your doctor. The question which intrigued me is – does fasting lose weight and if so, how much should we expect to lose?

Before I fasted, I conditioned myself for a few days at a time to live only on fruits and vegetables and some nuts, just to get the feel of it.

The reason is that I wouldn’t want to go straight into water fasting without having tried fruits and veges only fasting as it may not be the best thing to do. I also needed to trick my body to think that everything is still okay, I am still eating food, hence my metabolism should not decrease significantly.

I have been on vegetables and fruits only fasting for about 4 weeks and already I have lost about several at least 5 kilograms, just by changing my diet. If I keep this going for the next few months, I would probably be losing more but I will see.

At the end of my fasting (I have given myself until the end of September 2011), I will share more of my experiences with you. Does fasting lose weight? I’m willing to bet it does but thanks for taking the time to visit. See you soon.
