Water Fasting for Weight Loss:
This is a period where people stay away from food items or from certain items. Some dietitians suggest lemonade diet or fluids to satisfy physiological and thirst requirements. In the absence of the solid food, a specially diet called detox diet helps in cleansing the body systematically except the vital tissues. This is very effective even if you fast for a day in a week or a month. This can be done from 1 — 40 days. You must drink more water daily but you cannot have any solid food during the water fasting. Even if you do water fasting for 40 days, you will not suffer from the deficiency of fatty acids, minerals, vitamins and protein. When your body is forced to use vital tissue for surviving, then starvation occurs. Healthy cells in the body may reduce size and strength for time, but they are very healthy. It has been noted that number of muscle fibers remains same.
10 Day Water Fast:
This is most recommended and suitable type of water fast. This has the same effect as that of 30 days juice fast. Although it sounds good, water fast is very difficult, particularly if you have fast metabolism. This flushes out toxins rapidly and cleanses body aggressively. One should prepare mentally for a 10 day water fast to have less responsibility and pressure. This gives best results. You can plan in advance for water fasting, when on a holiday away from the daily routines. You must prepare the body for this type of severe fasting. Hence, dietitians suggest you to drink fresh juices and also to eat raw fruits and vegetables mostly for cleansing the body, a week before the fast. This leads to trouble-free detoxification in the water fast. In the 10 days water fast, 2 of 3 days of juice fast should be included before and after the fast. This is more effective for cleansing the body completely and also for availing other benefits of water fast such as gaining control over appetite, losing weight, etc.
