If you want , then eat right with a calorie deficit and exercise . Only this method will help you lose weight and keep a beautiful shape.

Possible difficulties

In the process of fasting, you may encounter various difficulties, for example:

Misunderstanding relatives. Our society is structured in such a way that any person who lives differently from others is immediately instructed on the true path. Therefore, you will hear such comments: “why do you need this”, “do not do nonsense”, “do not torture your body” and the like. It is pointless to prove something to such people, so continue to do what you want and do not pay attention to them. If the parents are against it, then explain that this is a necessary experience, and then you will return to normal life.
Bad feeling. If on the day of fasting you feel unwell, then immediately stop the experiment. If it doesn't get better after that, call your doctor.
Irresistible desire to drink. If you did everything right, then everything will be fine. Remember that 36 hours include night-day-night. If you fast on a day-night-day basis, then the result will be 48 hours. If it is difficult to restrain, reduce the time to 24 hours.
Nausea, dizziness, vomiting. Small signs of these symptoms sometimes appear, but if they are very strong, then stop the experiment.
If, after the completion of fasting, the stomach began to hurt, problems began with gastrointestinal tract. Remember if you went through all the steps correctly, especially the exit, in order to understand what is the reason. Make an appointment with a gastroenterologist to start treatment on time.

Dry fasting is a good way, provided that you do everything right. There is different variants this technique: for 24 hours, for 36 and for several days. But it is worth remembering that a person will not live for a long time without water. Some people extend dry fasting to 5-7 days, but the recommended amount is 3 days maximum. 24-hour hunger is suitable for complete beginners. At the same time, the 36-hour one is optimal, since it does not require long restrictions and does not heavily burden the body.

Lose weight with fasting bad option. Especially in the case of the dry technique. Such techniques are good for cleansing the body of toxins and toxins, but not for losing weight.

Remember that you are responsible for the use of such a technique. It is impossible to predict the results: someone has energy and the body is healed, while someone has health problems and deterioration. Try to fast when someone is at home, so that if you feeling unwell someone could take care of you and call a doctor for you. Especially if there are chronic diseases and contraindications.

Those who have tried dry fasting on themselves claim that it not only gets rid of extra pounds, but helps the body heal itself from diseases on its own.

How did dry fasting come about?

Paul Bragg first told the world about the benefits of fasting. His concept was to completely stop drinking water while leading a healthy lifestyle. He believed that the rejection of water will help the body recover from all sorts of ailments. Of course, this theory did not arouse approval among doctors, but still had its followers.

One of these followers was S. I. Filonov, who believed that dry fasting without water breaks down fats faster, so a person can not only lose weight, but also get healthier, because without liquid, harmful microbes and bacteria in his body cannot multiply.

Therapeutic effect of dry fasting

Followers note the benefits of such fasting also with healing point vision. They believe that dry fasting should be followed when:

diseases of internal organs;
arthrosis and arthritis;

Dry fasting, lasting 12 days, also contributes to the active regeneration of cells in the human body.

Another fasting option is "kefir starvation", it is more shaky, but no less effective.

Types of dry fasting

Today, dry fasting is popular, which lasts only 1 day. Often such fasting is used for colds. There is also fasting up to 36 h. But for starters, it’s worth starting with 24 hours. Longer fasting 3–5 days used by those who already have experience in it. In any case, the duration of fasting depends on individual features organism.

Short-term hunger strike lasts 1-3 days. All toxins are removed from the body, toned nervous system strengthens the immune system, and digestive system not overloaded with food. For example, many arrange a fasting day for themselves, and for them abstinence from water and food is not difficult. And for those who have some kind of disease, a dry fast can be a real torture.
Cascading abstinence involves the alternation of days of meals and days of abstinence for 5 days. For example, 1 day hunger strike - 1 day of eating, 2 days of hunger strike - 2 days of eating.

Those who have no experience in fasting, best to start from 24h. After getting used to, you can extend the hunger strike for several hours, and then for a couple of days.

Before proceeding to the head, you need to decide for what purposes it will be used.

It could be:

general improvement of the body;
cleaning from slags;
treatment of any disease.

As a treatment for diseases, a fast for 1-2 days will be useless.

To begin with, it is necessary that the body gets used to a short-term hunger strike, because this is the only way to safely abstain without water and food. An abrupt transition to long-term fasting can be harmful to the body.

Also useful advice for beginners: from unaccustomed to this lifestyle, even for a few days, it is worth following the cascade abstinence from food.

When deciding whether or not to sit down on a dry fast, we must not forget that after the end of such a “diet”, the body should not be loaded with heavy food. It is important to pay attention not only to preparation, but also to the way out of such a hunger strike.
