How To Lose Weight By Fasting?

The causes of obesity are diverse, but the consequences are the same - steady rise of body weight. Along with an increase in weight there are various somatic diseases - is primarily an increase in blood pressure, eating disorders of the heart muscle, abnormal liver function. Changes in health status lead to lethargy, drowsiness, reduced mental capacity, loses interest in life. And this in turn leads to greater consumption of food and a further increase in weight. Most diets typically provide only short-term effect. What is the advantage of fasting for weight loss over other methods aimed at reducing the weight:

1. During fasting there is rapid and safe loss of weight ;

2. Man on a lot easier to tolerate fasting , because there is no constant feeling of hunger;

3. When loss of weight is not observed neither shapeless nor flabby skin and tissue (this rule does not always apply to the very elderly men).

4. Loss of weight during fasting is accompanied by the recovery of the organism and improving general well-being (becoming a free breathing, increases ease of movement, constant tiredness disappears, diminishes a sense of overflow in the abdomen and the symptoms of indigestion, lowers blood pressure and total load on the heart.)

Specializes in fasting Y.S. Nikolaev for example, treatment of a large number of patients with obesity concluded that:

"To fight against obesity  is requires a range of «measures» - determined  restriction of the diet, low-calorie diet, exercise, water therapy, gymnastics, and most importantly - you need to spend a few months of constant conscious effort to make your busy loafers excessive appetite. Sometimes patients do not eat too much, but they do not know what they should eat less, eat even the same notorious cereal, from which supposedly "get fat". If you consume them in large quantities, good flavor fat - yes, you can grow fat, if it is to consume small saucers, you can and lose weight. Only food should a long time to chew, then man, prone to obesity, eating less saturated and do not overeat, because there is a definite relationship between saturation and the number of chewing movements. In addition, during prolonged chewing of peristalsis in the intestine is 4 times more energetic, which contributes to a better evacuation and recovery of the gastrointestinal tract. "

Therefore, it is necessary to realize that fasting for lose of weigh are difficult. Yes, fasting is really able to greatly reduce our weight. After all, when fasting primarily consumed fat stores of the organism. In the early days, especially before the onset of hypoglycemic crisis, loss of weight up to 1.2 kg per day, further reducing the weight significantly slowed - up to 300 grams per day. Below is a approximate tentative scheme loss of weight during different periods of fasting:

1. One-day fasting - 1.3 kg;

2. Fasting before the crisis 5-10 days (depending on experience) - 7.10 kg;

3. Fasting in the average time - 10-14 days - 10-12 kg.

4. If you continue fasting for more than 14 days of weight loss is about 1 kg for 3 days of fasting.

But these are average date. There are several factors that affect how much change in weight during fasting:

1. The experience of fasting. A man who always practices fasting recreational purpose, losing weight is much less a beginner. The more you starve yourself, the more quickly the organism goes to domestic food, and the less you lose weight. In beginners crisis comes at a later date, the mechanisms of switching to full internal nutrition to run longer and decrease the weight substantially greater. Moreover, as cleanse the organism as a result of recurring hunger and nutrition, the organism will be a very economical use of its available resources.

2. Motor activity during the fasting. Influence of the motor mode to weight changes during fasting is ambiguous. It seemed that the more physical activity during fasting - the greater must be the decline in weight. But, in reality, the man who leads an active lifestyle, can lose weight is less than the man who during fasting is always in bed. This feature is clearly visible after fasting hypoglycemic crisis. You can go all day, perform a variety of work, and in the evening, standing on the scales to discover that your weight has not changed. But, if you weigh after sleep, when, apparently, the body is resting, you will immediately notice a significant weight loss.

 This is due primarily to the fact that the organism of the famine begins to actively assimilate the constituent parts of air (nitrogen, carbon, oxygen) and use them in their own biosynthesis. Actively moving day, we increase the amount of inhaled air, respectively, increased intake and absorption of substances from the air. At night, our gas exchange is reduced and the organism has to more actively use its own resources. Remember - the movement during fasting - it is a kind of food! The main rule - not to overload.

3. Additional procedures during fasting. Water treatments, sauna, massage, physiotherapy can help in the speedy deliverance from fat. All these procedures improve blood flow, and thus speed up metabolism and expenditure of organism fat.

4. Dry fasting. Dry fasting is better to use in the first days of the entrance to the usual fasting. The best option to spend the first two or three days without water, and then drink water in sufficient quantity focusing on well-being. Dry fasting for longer periods without the proper experience is dangerous. Especially not recommended for dry days in the mid-normal fasting as well as to fully own biosynthesis during fasting, water is needed. On the contrary, in the first days of fasting when the organism switches to internal nutrition, due to the active dissolution of fat formed a sufficient number of its own water, as there was enough surplus water in the tissues of the organism dry and hungry at this time is easily tolerated and leads to more rapid reductions in weight.

5. The general status of the organism to fasting.
We may note the following regularity - the better your condition before fasting, the easier it flows fasting, and the less you will lose weight. The explanation is simple - a man healthy, the organism quickly rebuilds the internal power and begins to economical use of nutrients. The patient - the organism has to spend a lot of energy and resources to carry out reconstruction work in the organism.

6. Constitution.
Depending on the constitution weight loss in different periods of fasting is different. Fat men in the early days of losing weight more. This is mainly due to the stripping away of excess fluid accumulated in the tissues. In addition, the greater the weight, the more energy is needed for such a person, the greater the loss of weight.

7. Age of fasting person. Young people lose weight faster than older because of the activity of metabolic processes in the organism.

But there is a very important feature that limits the use of fasting to reduce excess weight. This is diet after fasting. The fact is that after fasting in the organism with the large reduction processes. The cells actively absorb nutrients, and if at that time did not limit itself to the food - your weight fairly quickly reach the previous standard, and is likely to exceed it for a few pounds. Therefore, if your aim is weight loss rather than a complete change of behavior that led you to obesity, fasting will not help you, rather it will increase your weight a few pounds from the original. So think hard before you can use fasting to reduce weight.

The practice of fasting.

The best results can be obtained by applying the average time of fasting, combined with proper recovery nutrition. This is due to the fact that the greatest loss of weight, exactly what happens in the first two weeks of fasting. In addition, the average time allows you to activate the mechanisms are sufficiently deep cleanse the organism, and recovery processes take place for a long time after the famine. The best option would be holding several fasting (2-3) average time to follow proper nutritional recovery period of a month. Naturally, before the practice of fasting is necessary to purification procedures, and practices the very start with the day-long fasting, and only then gradually increase the duration of fasting. This will help you reduce weight, strengthen the decision to go the right way of life, to learn not to overeat during the restorative power. Of course, you can immediately crave 14 and even 20 days, but did not learn to control themselves during recovery, you will not get good results.

But the recommendations Y. S. Nikolaeva for patients with obese:

"Methods of treatment dose fasting most of these patients are usually: a one-time fasting without water restrictions ranging from 25 to 40 days followed by diet food.

However, quite often, when the prescription of the disease is significant, and the original weight of 120-200 pounds or more, adjusting to the "internal" food does not take place immediately after 10-15 days of fasting there are nausea, vomiting, Pulse arrhythmia, dizziness, loss of organism weight is terminated . In these cases, we apply the so-called "fractional" method of fasting-diet therapy: after the first fasting (10-15 days) begins the restoration of the same duration, then the second 10-30 days of fasting and the same length of recovery, then a third course of fasting and t . e. 10 - 12 of alternations of hunger and nutrition, with an interval of 3-4 months after 6-8 factional courses. Duration of each course is individual and varies depending on the state of health, weight, age and other indicators of the patient. Such an "oscillating" cycle of fasting allows the body to reduce weight by 80 - 100 pounds! "

It is safe to say that proper nutrition rehabilitation after starvation of the most important stage in the fight against obesity. Fasting gives you the opportunity to significantly reduce weight and to restore the disturbed metabolic processes in your body, restorative power can save the results.

Since the beginning of recovery nutrition, the first two or three days (depending on the period of fasting) weight reduction observed further up to 1 kg per day. Then comes a gradual increase in weight, but even after 10 days of recovery, the weight is less than the original. Rapid weight gain in the first week of fasting often indicative of excessive accumulation of water in the organism. Usually it is associated with the use of salt or salt-containing products, as well as the shortage of potassium in the organism. In this case, enough for a few days to take medications potassium (Asparcam or Panangin on one tablet 2-3 times a day) and delete products containing sodium chloride. After 7-10 days recovery stabilized and appetite is very important not to overeat and to move 3-4 meals a day. Basically the rules of restorative nutrition are the same as for normal recovery from fasting. It should reduce the amount of flour food, sweets, animal fats, increasing the amount of plant foods.

Very good to stabilize the weight of a rule not to consume food after 18.00.

Everyone, fasting to lose weight is to be understood that only a change in lifestyle will allow you to achieve this goal and feel completely healthy and complete human being!
