Preparation for dry fasting for 2 days. Therapeutic starvation - the essence, rules, preparation. Fasting schemes

WHY DO YOU NEED THERAPEUTIC FASTING?

The realities of modern life are such that with an unusually high level of technology development in medicine, the incidence rate of the population is steadily increasing.

Every third inhabitant of our country suffers from obesity, every second dies from cardiovascular diseases.

Medicine is not able to influence such negative factors as lifestyle and human nutrition, polluted air and poor water quality, technogenic load and stress.

You are reading this article, which means you have already realized that it is time to take matters into your own hands. Let's figure out together how to restore health with simple things like food and water.

The first thing to start the process of restoring health is CLEARING THE ORGANISM in the following sequence:

Purgation

Cleansing the liver, lymph, kidneys, etc.

All this happens against the background of constant, daily washing with water. Because 80% of toxins are water soluble. Compliance with the drinking regime, the daily use of one's physiological norm of water is one of the most important factors in restoring health.

Now we will analyze how to conduct therapeutic fasting to cleanse the body so that it is safe for health.

PREPARATION FOR THERAPEUTIC WATER FASTING

Preparing for therapeutic fasting at home is extremely important. Preparation and exit from fasting is 50% success.

You can’t just suddenly decide - from tomorrow I won’t eat anything for a week. Such fasting is fraught not only with headaches, nausea, unbearable weakness, but can also significantly worsen overall health.

So, we need to establish a drinking regime to ensure the regular elimination of toxicants, to accustom the body to absorb enough water.

LEARNING TO DRINK WATER CORRECTLY

The norm of water for a person of any age is 30 ml per 1 kg of body weight

If overweight is more than 20 kg, then we calculate approximately the ideal body weight

In the morning, after cleaning the oral cavity, we wash the body with water - 2-3 glasses on an empty stomach in several doses. Water at room temperature or warm.

We drink water 15-20 minutes before meals, an hour and a half after. We drink the main volume in the morning

This is really healthy water. It is structured, has a slightly alkaline reaction, negative potential, low surface tension. Easily absorbed by the body, gives energy, normalizes the acid-base balance, protects cells from free radicals (slows down the aging process)

If you are just starting to get used to drinking water, start with a smaller volume.

Get into the habit of drinking a glass in the morning on an empty stomach, a glass before every meal, a glass before bed. Then bring the daily volume to the required norm.

This is an extremely important step in preparing for fasting at home if you really want it to be safe.

Our task is to create unbearable conditions for uninvited guests so that they leave the body in a natural way. And this is the use of bitterness, as well as alkalization of the internal environment.

WE CORRECTION POWER

We minimize the amount of synthetic food that contains preservatives, dyes, thickeners, etc. These are fast food, semi-finished products, various sweets (pastries, sweets, cakes, pastries, ice cream, sweet soda, tetra-pack juices, yoghurts with fillings, etc.)

We reduce the amount of animal proteins and fats, eat more vegetables, fruits, cereals from whole grains. You can also eggs, fish, dairy products. In general - the most natural food.

We eat in small portions 3-4 times a day. Be guided by the fact that there is a slight feeling of hunger, such sensations as if you were full of 80%.

HEALTH HAZARD. WHAT NOT TO DO

2. Getting out of therapeutic fasting is no less important than preparation. Introduce foods gradually, do not eat up on the first day to satiety, start eating fresh fruits and vegetables from the 3rd day of recovery, meat - at least from 4-5 days. No fried, fatty, spicy foods for the first few days of recovery.

3. Don't make it your goal to fast for a week right away. This is a very serious burden on nervous system and for health in general. Start with 24 hours, follow the principles of preparation and exit from therapeutic fasting on the water.

4. Don't drink ice water. Cold water constricts pores and blood vessels, hinders hydration, and impairs digestion. Plus, the body expends energy to bring water to body temperature.

HOW TO START THERAPEUTIC FASTING FOR CLEANING THE BODY

During these 3-4 weeks, noticeable improvements in health should already occur. There is more energy, a feeling of cheerfulness even in the evening after a hard day, lightness in the abdominal area, sleep improves, headaches go away, swelling decreases, skin condition improves.

Now, when the body is sufficiently cleansed, you can proceed directly to therapeutic fasting on the water.

I must say right away that I am not a supporter of dry fasting. Because most of the chemical reactions in the body require water. Purification of cells and interstitial fluid occurs due to pure water. Water dissolves nutrients and oxygen and carries them to every cell of our body.

INTRODUCTION TO FASTING - 2 DAYS

Significantly reduce portions.

We use boiled / stewed food, mainly vegetables, whole grains.

Increase the amount of water you drink by about 0.5 liters. Focus on your feelings.

WATER STARVING

The duration of this stage, everyone chooses for himself. Start from 24 hours.

Then, each time, try to prolong curative starvation for another 24 hours. Choose the frequency according to your feelings - in a week, in a month. Earlier than a week later, fasting is not necessary, let the body recover.

The amount of water during this period can be increased, but do not overdo it. Drink approximately 40 ml per 1 kg of body weight. Wash down the feeling of hunger, it will be quite active.

By the way, coral water helps to neutralize the feeling of hunger, because it is slightly alkaline, neutralizes gastric juice.

During the days of fasting, intoxication of the body occurs, so headaches, weakness, and nausea may appear.

Out of habit, it will be unbearably drawn to food. Try to isolate it as much as possible so that the food does not “irritate the eyes”. Spend more time outdoors, go to the sauna for a better cleanse, engage in a workout (Pilates, yoga, breathing exercises) or any other activity that will distract you from dull thoughts.

If the weakness is very strong - drink warm water with half a teaspoon of honey. Or just dissolve the honey with warm water.

EXIT FROM THERAPEUTIC FASTING FOR PURIFICATION

The worst thing you can do is to pounce on food on the first day.

The exit from fasting should be gradual. We eat in small portions, food boiled / stewed.

On the first day - cooked vegetables and fruits, freshly washed juices. Next, we introduce porridge without adding salt. From the third day, you can add cottage cheese, eggs, fish, broth to the diet.

We do not use fresh vegetables and fruits in the first 2-3 days, this is coarse fiber.

With a fasting duration of more than 7 days, it is better to introduce meat into the diet at least a week later.

THE BENEFITS OF THERAPEUTIC FASTING AT HOME

Therapeutic starvation will help to cope with overeating, and taste preferences will also gradually change. There will be less cravings for junk food.

Fasting on water triggers the process of autophagy, self-purification of cells. There is a utilization of defective proteins, or rather their splitting and reuse.

The functions of the organs responsible for cleansing the body are restored: kidneys, liver, gallbladder, intestines

The condition of the skin, hair and nails will improve. With further adherence to the simple principles of the Health Concept, a complete recovery will gradually occur.

If you are doing therapeutic fasting for weight loss, then keep in mind that body weight will decrease by about 1-2 kg per day. But not only due to adipose tissue, in the process of autophagy, proteins are first of all broken down. Do not overdo it.

Therapeutic starvation is effective not only for healing the body, it is also for strengthening discipline, tempering character. Even more comfortable option of fasting on the program Colo Vada Plus still requires endurance and compliance with all recommendations. This is spiritual growth.

In a new article on dry fasting, we will talk about how to most effectively conduct therapeutic dry fasting, about methods of preparing for it and competently exiting a 36-hour dry fast.

Dry fasting. Other types of fasting as preparation for it

This article will focus on dry fasting and how to competently carry it out on your own. However, before proceeding directly to the description of the process and the benefits of dry fasting, we will make a brief digression and see what types of fasting still exist.

Before embarking on the practice of dry fasting, namely fasting, when a person does not take inside not only solid food, but also liquids, including juices and water, we will describe ordinary fasting and its types, since it can serve as an excellent preparation and good beginning before proceeding directly to dry fasting.

If you have never fasted before, then it is advisable to start your experience with, because during it the body will experience less stress, and you will feel more comfortable during the fasting period. It is very important to try to heed this recommendation, because when you suddenly stop eating, especially if you are on a regular diet, that is, you eat animal protein and canned foods, switching to dry fasting can do more harm than good.

So start your practice with, and then gradually, when you have enough experience of this kind of fasting on the water, including cascading fasting, you can move on to dry fasting. In the process of therapeutic fasting, the stages of preparation for it, as well as the exit from therapeutic fasting, are inseparably linked with the process of temporary refusal to eat, but in reality they are one interconnected process.

For those who still, for some reason, the process of fasting on water seems too radical to start practicing it, we can advise you to experiment with another type of fasting - cascading. The scheme by which you will starve is simplified and allows the starving person to temporarily get out of hunger, in order to then return to it again.

An example would be: 1 day of fasting, 1 day of plant based food, 2 days of fasting, followed by 3 days of plant based food, and so on. There are various programs where the duration of the therapeutic fasting process varies, but I would like to note that Russian people are unusually categorical about the implementation of prescriptions, and in such practices this is not always justified. What is good for one person can be bad for another, so no matter what fasting program you follow, pay attention first of all to your well-being. If for some reason you cannot continue fasting, then it is better to get out of it in time, analyze your well-being and possibly continue next time, taking into account past experience.

Dry fasting 36 hours. The benefits of dry fasting

So, what is the benefit of dry fasting and what is its advantage over regular water fasting? It is believed that when absolutely no food or even water enters the body, the cleansing processes that start in the body during fasting are significantly activated, so some followers of therapeutic fasting prefer to conduct one shorter dry fast than a longer one. water fasting.

During both dry and ordinary fasting, the body's forces are aimed at doing a "general cleaning", hence the therapeutic effect. During normal nutrition, cells die in the body during life, and most of them, unfortunately, remain inside the body. In order to remove them or somehow dispose of them (you will soon understand how this happens), you need to allow the body to rest from eating from time to time.

In fact, one-day fasting is not even fasting, but a fasting day. The body finally rests, first of all, the digestive system rests and recovers, which has a very beneficial effect on all processes occurring in the body. But you have to disappoint those who think that one-day fasting or fasting for 36 hours will certainly result in weight loss.

The fact is that in order for the real process of splitting fat cells to begin, at least 3 days must pass. The body is designed in such a way that the first days of fat reserves are preserved intact and the person loses only water. Therefore, in vain to amuse yourself with the thought, seeing minus 1 kg on the scales, that you said goodbye to 1 kg of body fat. Nothing like that, it was the water that left, which you saw on the scales. Therefore, weight loss can be included in the list of positive results of dry fasting, but only when it lasts more than 2 days.

What happens during fasting? The body, due to the lack of external sources of nutrition, begins to look for other reserves, and not only glycogen. The very dead cells that are still in the body are recycled. This largely explains the amazing effect of dry fasting, healing from ailments during it, etc., because the body is forced to process and get rid of what has accumulated in it for a long time and what caused these ailments.

If you are ready to go through a 36-hour dry fast, then you need to prepare for it. First of all, a few days before the start of dry fasting, you need to stop eating animal proteins, and just before you start the process, you need to remember to cleanse the intestines so that toxins do not get into the blood when you stop eating. This will prepare you and make the process of fasting more comfortable.

It is even better if you carry out the practice of fasting after you have been completely on for a long time. It is well known that long-term fasting is much easier for vegans and vegetarians, not to mention raw foodists.

No less important is the process of getting out of dry fasting. The exit time from dry fasting should be equal to the time of fasting itself. Since we are basically talking about a 36-hour dry fast, then the exit time should be equal to 24 or 36 hours. In practice, it looks like this: during the day you do not take any food, the next day for another 12 hours you continue to abstain from food and drink, and only in the evening, after this time, you can start going out.

It is better to start getting out of dry fasting by taking a small amount of water, and then after a while you can start drinking juices. Freshly squeezed citrus juices are best suited for the purpose of getting out of dry fasting, it’s good if they are slightly diluted with water, because the body becomes very susceptible to what comes into it after the fasting process, so you need to be very careful about choice of products and flavor intensity.

Secondly, at the end of fasting, the process of detoxification of the body still continues. Therefore, getting out of fasting is half of the fasting process itself. If you immediately switch to a normal diet, then you will minimize the effectiveness of the fasting process. So spend the period of exit from fasting with the maximum benefit for your body.

The first day after the exit should take place exclusively on juices and best of all on freshly squeezed citrus juices: oranges, tangerines, lemons, grapefruits, etc. If for some reason you do not want to use citrus fruits, then pomegranate juice would be an excellent option. It is also transparent and has no fiber, the same can be said about pineapple juice.

All clear juices suit you. Those that contain starch will have to be excluded: carrot, beetroot, etc. Bananas are not suitable for the same reason. The second day you can already eat vegetables and vegetable juices, but better raw. Only after these two days, following the 36-hour abstinence from food, you can return to the usual thermally processed food.

The benefits of dry fasting for 36 hours are enormous. The body mobilizes its forces. Since the energy is not wasted on the digestion of food, all of it goes to fight the inflammatory processes that occur in the body. Also at this time, the adrenal cortex begins to produce special hormones that have an anti-inflammatory effect, which further contributes to accelerated healing, if necessary.

If you do not have pronounced inflammatory processes, then dry fasting will be an excellent prophylaxis to prevent the onset of diseases. During dry fasting, the body most effectively burns fats, cleanses the body of toxins.

The body is cleansed both from the inside and outside: the skin is cleansed, it becomes more tender, wrinkles are smoothed out, and the skin of the face is completely cleansed if there were problems with it before.

If dry fasting, albeit short, for 24 or 36 hours is carried out relatively regularly, then this will also have a positive effect on the figure for overweight people. But as you have already learned, it is impossible to achieve this effect in one go.

Also, during dry fasting, the body as a whole rejuvenates. During fasting, you seem to restart the system, so some aging processes can be reversed or slowed down.

Many people who have experienced a 36-hour dry fast note all of the above positive factors. However, you should not abuse and conduct too long dry fasts, more than 7 days, or practice 36-hour dry fasts with excessive intensity. It is better to observe the measure in everything.

If you want to fast regularly, for example once a week, then ordinary water fasting is much better suited for this purpose. Let it be just a fasting day, and psychologically fasting on the water is much easier to bear.

Dry fasting: contraindications

People with serious heart disease, tuberculosis or anemia should not dry fast. If, nevertheless, a person doubts and feels the strength to carry out a regular fast on the water, then it is advisable to first consult a doctor, and if the condition allows fasting, then you can start it.

During the 36-hour dry fast we have described, it is unlikely that negative processes will occur, such as weakening of the muscles and a decrease in blood cells, which can lead to anemia or a decrease in the reserves of vitamins and minerals in the body.

All this can happen only with very long practices of fasting, so you should not dwell on this in detail. A 36-hour dry fast is usually safe if you are well prepared for it, and not just jumped right off the bat after a meat diet and donuts, with a dirty intestine, abruptly stopping food and water, but ended the fast with the same abrupt exit, first thing eating a cutlet with fried potatoes for a side dish.

This approach definitely guarantees the appearance of problems both during fasting and after it. But our readers will carefully study the article and other materials related to dry fasting, so we have no doubt that your first experience of a 36-hour dry fast will certainly bring positive results.

Fasting is a method of alternative medicine that is perceived by many as a diet. Hunger is often used not for medicinal purposes, but for weight loss. Several on the water have been developed, differing in duration and procedures. For weight loss, without the goal of treatment, it is better to choose fasting that lasts a week - this is a good experience and preparation for longer periods.

How long can you starve on the water, is it good or bad for health? We learn from the article.

Refusal of food for 7 days helps. After a cyclical repetition of daily hunger on the water, a person must proceed to observe a seven-day refusal of food. One-day fasting is easy to endure, although it helps to lose weight, it does not sufficiently cleanse the body of toxins and toxins. Exclusion of food for a week from the usual daily routine will help to lose weight and put in order the internal processes that take place in the body.

By Paul Bragg

The system of refusal of food by - this is on the water - 7 days. The liquid may be mineral or distilled.

Bragg's 4 Hunger Rules:

• During fasting, the use of juices, broths and other liquids, except water, is not allowed;
• harmful;
• Nature is the best place for a hunger strike. It is recommended to adhere to the method in solitude, observing an active lifestyle.
• It is important to do the right end of the hunger.

The scheme that Bragg adhered to:

• One-day fasting - once every 7 days;
• Seven-day fasting on the water - once a quarter;
• Fasting for 21 days - annually.

While a person observes a 7-day fast, he is allowed to use distilled water with additives. It is allowed to mix 5 g of natural raw honey and 10 ml of lemon juice. The drink will help to remove toxins from the body.

Fasting lasts 7 days, in some cases - 10 days or 3 weeks, the signal for completion is the appearance of appetite and the disappearance of bad breath.

One-day fasting has its own benefits, it will not help to cleanse the body qualitatively, but it will help restore the stomach.

There are results from the Paul Bragg method, especially for people who want to lose weight. There were reviews with photos about how people succeeded. You can get out of hunger in such a way as to consolidate the results of losing weight using the Paul Bragg method. After a seven-day fast on water, both the stomach and intestines decrease in size, so you need to gradually return to your daily diet.

In the afternoon of the last day of hunger follows. To do this, you need to take 4 tomatoes, cut and pour boiling water, so that the water covers the tomatoes. There are no restrictions on the amount eaten, but it is better to chew thoroughly.

For breakfast the next day, make a vegetable salad. To do this, take a medium head of cabbage, carrot, grate and season with citrus juice. The dish acts as a “brush”, it is also favorable for losing weight and cleansing the body. After you can eat thermally processed greens or 2 crackers. For lunch, cook carrots with celery and a couple of boiled vegetables. On this day, you will have to skip the evening meal.

On the 2nd day after the fast, make tomorrow from fresh fruit with a little honey. Spend lunch in the same way as the previous day. Dinner is allowed, but until 6 pm. It is desirable that lettuce leaves in lemon juice serve as a meal.

The exit from the hunger, which lasted 10 days, is similar.

By Marve Oganyan

Marva Oganyan is an experienced therapist. The woman developed her own fasting healing system, which has distinctive features. The method is suitable for losing weight at home without medical supervision.

Refusal of food, according to Oganyan, should last up to 14 days and be accompanied by cleansing procedures, but for weight loss it is enough to starve for a week. One-day fasting according to the method will not give tangible results.

Preparation for hunger is accompanied by the intake of laxatives: and a decoction of the hay. Magnesia is a saline laxative, hay is herbal. Drink both drugs that cleanse the gastrointestinal tract, you need the day before the onset of hunger.

Before taking a laxative, prepare a heating pad with water. You will need it for liver cleansing. Immediately after taking the laxatives, lie on your right side and apply a heating pad to your liver. You will have to lie in this position for 60 minutes, without a pillow, moving as little as possible. You can move to drink a decoction of hay. Until the evening (8-9 hours) you need to use a liter of infusion.

Great importance is given to the biological clock: the human biorhythm must coincide with the solar cycle - wake up with sunrise, fall asleep before 9-10 pm. However, if you use hunger only for weight loss, this rule can be neglected.

The scheme of fasting on the water itself is clear: the changes affect only the state of the person, the regimen remains the same.

Cleansing of the body occurs by taking a decoction of herbs, and not mineral or distilled water. Partial fasting, it is allowed to add honey and lemon juice to the infusion. Decoctions are made from various mixtures: mint, plantain, thyme, nettle, valerian, etc.

Daily regime:

• Cleansing enema in the morning;
• Reception of 250 ml of broth hourly;
• Walks in the open air;
• Rubbing massage;
• Non-burdensome activity;
• Sleep from 9 pm to sunrise.

After the end of hunger for another 4 days, only fruits and vegetables in the form of puree are allowed. Be sure to continue taking a decoction of herbs.

The exit is scheduled by the hour, again, in connection with the human biorhythm. Eating is carried out in 3 approaches - at 10, 14 and 18 hours.

Products in the daily menu are introduced gradually, on the 5th day of release, you can add vegetable salads seasoned with citrus juice. At 6 - vegetables and fruits can be cooked, thermally processed. Oil, sour cream and fatty foods are allowed to be introduced into the diet only on the 15th day after hunger. Kashi - even later, after 40-60 days. Animal protein is optional, but not before cereals, nuts, and legumes.

Getting out of hunger is sometimes more difficult than observing the refusal of food itself, but the results are worth it. After a full course, the body will improve, reviews talk about the benefits of the method for losing weight.

3 weeks fast

According to Nikolaev

It is a 21 day water fast. According to the author of the methodology, preparation for hunger is divided into 2 stages: psychological and physiological.

Psychological stage: you need to convince yourself that fasting is a natural process that will not harm the body, but will help cleanse it.

Fasting on water, lasting three weeks, is not an easy test for a person's psycho-emotional state, it is difficult to get rid of clichés and clichés, to accept food refusal. When there are no problems with this stage, you can proceed to preparing the body.

Physiological stage: taking a laxative. A significant dose of bitter salt is introduced into the body, after which food intake and medications are stopped.

The morning of the first day includes hygiene procedures and a laxative enema. After the cleansing enema, other procedures follow: water and “pressure” massage. After the massage is done and the bath is taken, you can proceed to the “breakfast”. It is necessary to take an infusion (decoction) of wild rose.

All these actions are repeated daily, in general, per day you need:

• Put an enema;
• Take a shower;
• Make a massage;
• Drink a decoction of wild rose;
• Relax;
• Take a walk in the fresh air, doing breathing exercises;
• Drink a decoction of wild rose;
• Undergo physiotherapy (this item is absent in fasting for weight loss);
• Do what you love;
• Do not forget to drink a decoction before going to bed;
• Take a bath, clean your mouth.

For three weeks, while hunger lasts, you need to exclude heavy mental and physical work. Despite the fact that the body will be full of energy, give preference to light activities - reading, drawing, etc.

The experience of fasting will be gained over time, while it is not there - it is better to follow the technique under supervision.

The room in which a person sleeps must be ventilated. Ideally, a new supply of oxygen is carried out into the room constantly. At the same time, a starving person may feel chilly, so it is worth sleeping well dressed or wrapped up. At the end of hunger, when there are no resources and energy left to heat the body, people sleep with heating pads.

A person who has gone through proper fasting is full of energy and active, able to cope with light physical exertion. The only negative effect is that, unlike a non-starving person, there is an increased sensitivity to cold.

Appetite dulls or disappears altogether after the first 3 days of fasting, the reflexes associated with eating disappear. A person ceases to react to the smell, is indifferent to the ringing of dishes. Thoughts about food are disturbing throughout the fast, so the daily routine should be scheduled by the hour.

One-day fasting according to the method will also bring results.

1. On the first day, grape and apple juice is allowed, but not pure, but diluted with water in a ratio of 1 to 1. On the second day, it is allowed not to dilute. Days 4 and 5 of the exit are accompanied by the use of mashed fruits or vegetables. Porridges are introduced after a week of exit from hunger. At the same time, cereals must be thoroughly boiled in water. Drink juice in small sips, hold in your mouth, do not swallow immediately.
2. From day 10 to day 30, the diet becomes more varied. But the diet excludes animal products: meat, fish, eggs. Nuts and seeds are best avoided or limited. The diet is also based on plant foods with a high content.
3. Nothing bad will happen if fresh vegetables and fruits are replaced with canned or dried ones.
4. It is acceptable to use any fermented milk products, but fat-free kefir is preferred.

Animal proteins can be introduced into the diet from day 40, but in small quantities and carefully, gradually increasing the intake.

According to Suvorin

Accompanied by physical training, cleansing procedures alone are not enough. Fasting is preceded by 3 preparatory days. In the first two people exclude animal protein (meat, fish,) from food. Preference should be given to products of dairy or vegetable origin. 3 preparatory days are characterized by taking a laxative instead of dinner.

6 rules of the Suvorin method:

• Eliminate food;
• Drink distilled water - up to 2 liters per day, exclude other liquids;
• Clean the gastrointestinal tract daily, like other hygiene procedures;
• Get rid of medications;
• Consult with the leader, because hunger on the water is primarily a therapeutic method. If not, then check it yourself. With a frequency of 3-4 days, summarize, make sure you follow the Suvorin method correctly.
• Do not be afraid!

The duration of hunger is determined by the healer himself. The therapeutic exclusion of food lasts from 2 to 6 weeks, sometimes the period is brought to 9. For a complete cleansing of the body and weight loss, it will take from 1 week to 14 days.

A laxative taken at dinner on the third preparatory day acts on the intestines in the morning or at night. After that, a two-liter enema is placed from drinking water, without impurities. The temperature of the liquid is close to that of the human body. Purification is recommended to be carried out according to the Shchadilov technique.

The daily regimen, subject to the Suvorin method, includes:

• cleaning procedures;
• Massage, rubbing;
• Fluid intake throughout the day
• Walks;
• Morning gymnastics.

After the cleansing course, you will feel an appetite. The duration of the release is from 1 week to 14 days. Getting out of fasting correctly is important, it helps to prevent the return of a lot of weight, loss of body cleansing or organ dystrophy.

The author of the technique recommends not to stop cleansing procedures and enemas until 4 days of recovery when leaving fasting. Laxatives should be excluded, but before each meal you need to use a decoction of wormwood. It is recommended to take warm baths and do rubbing, all this will help prevent stagnation in the intestines.

Clear your mouth of bitter saliva before eating for the first time. This will help you a piece of black bread and, which you need to carefully worry about and spit out along with saliva and plaque. Do not under any circumstances swallow.

• 1, 2 days - carbohydrate;
• 3, 4 - protein-carbohydrate. Protein in the body can come from both vegetable and dairy products;
• The following days - vegetable fats, proteins (as above), carbohydrates;
• From the 10th day, meat and fish can be introduced into the diet.

According to Stoleshnikov

Fasting according to the Stoleshnikov method lasts 3-4 weeks, sometimes up to 40 days, the time for losing weight is reduced. 21 days - time for a complete cleansing of the body, one hundred percent removal of toxins and toxins.

For people who are not able to refuse food for 3 weeks, Stoleshnikov offers the following option.

It is clear that a side effect of starvation on the water will be getting rid of extra pounds - this is a nice bonus. But the technique should be used under the supervision of a doctor and solely for the purpose of improving health, helping with certain diseases, and along the way, getting rid of kilograms that the body considers superfluous.

The basis of this type of healing is water. Do not think that this is a diet of apples and water. From food and liquids, you can drink only in water during the allotted time and in the amount you want. Many say that such a water diet is much more convenient than with the inclusion of some product in the diet: it is much easier to just drink and not think about food at all than treat yourself to an apple and then think all day if you can eat something else.

Advice! To make therapeutic fasting on the water easier on this day, it is recommended to listen to music, walk more and get distracted from food.

How to prepare

It is important not only to know how to behave during and how to eat after fasting, but also to properly prepare for this difficult period. Preparation begins about a week in advance: you should give up meat and other animal foods, switch to plant foods, drink three liters of water every day.

One day water diet

You should not immediately practice long-term fasting on the water, it is recommended to start from one day. According to the results of the procedure, as noted, the stomach goes away, the body becomes more cheerful, the mood rises. Periodic refusal of food once a month is the right preparation for a long fast on the water.

How to get out

Even a one-day fast on distilled quality water requires the right exit. Any diet requires this approach, and the dietary option of only drinking water, one day or longer requires a mandatory correct exit without options.

The exit lasts for one day, you need to start with fruit and vegetable juices, which you squeeze out yourself and be sure to dilute with water. On the third day, you can already introduce fresh fruits, vegetable salads into the diet. Then, gradually, ordinary food appears on the menu, but it is recommended to postpone the use of meat, fatty, salty, sweet and smoked foods.

Three days on the water

This is an even more difficult test for the body, but three days without food will allow you to start the internal mechanism of burning fat. Water is drunk only pure, not mineral. You can not add anything to the water during the fasting days. The scheme is to drink a glass of water every hour during the day. In the evening, it is recommended to do a cleansing enema to remove the waste remaining there from the intestines.

On the second day, the acidity of the foods that are still in the stomach will increase. So, it is recommended to wash the stomach with water. On the third day, drink water no longer every hour, but as needed. With such a diet, you can do everyday things, but you should not heavily burden your body.

In advance, even before the exit, you need to take a special drug that restores the intestinal microflora. On the first day of release, drink 100 ml of fresh fruit or vegetable juice every hour. At the beginning of the day, dilute them with water, and in the evening you can switch to pure juices. On the second day of release, breakfast is a glass of fresh juice.

A great way to lose weight is water fasting. For many, this method of alternative medicine is perceived as a diet. Scientists have long established that hunger not only helps to improve the human body, but also to lose a few extra pounds. There are many ways to lose weight on the water, which differ in duration and procedures. For those who decide to try this technique for the first time, a short course is recommended.

Basic principles of water fasting

When drinking large amounts of water and refusing to eat, the body is cleansed of harmful substances that pollute it. Such fasting is indicated in the treatment of pancreatitis, as well as some other diseases of the digestive system. It is also used in the period of preparation for surgery or after it.

The basic principles of water fasting are as follows:

• since a lot of fluid enters the body during therapeutic fasting, this technique can be used to prevent dehydration;
• with a large volume of water, decay products of salts are excreted from the kidneys;
• when water enters the stomach, a satiety signal is sent to the brain, so the feeling of hunger recedes for a while;
• fasting on water does not lead to sagging skin, which occurs when losing weight too quickly.

Thus, fasting on water, like a diet, helps to lose weight and at the same time cleanse the body of harmful substances.

On a note! Since therapeutic fasting on water has not only advantages, but also has contraindications, you should consult your doctor before using it.

Benefit and harm

Like all diets, water fasting causes stress in the human body. Therefore, in addition to the benefits, it is necessary to consider the possible harm of this technique.

The benefits of fasting on water are as follows:

• weight reduction;
• increased immunity, which occurs as a result of cleansing the body of harmful components;
• slowing down the aging process;
• elimination of snoring at night;
• improvement of the condition of hair and nails, as well as skin integuments;
• restoration of the functions of the reproductive system, which is carried out due to the improvement of the pancreas and the normalization of blood sugar levels.
