I'd just like to thank the great response i got from the anorexia subject. Now i'd like know people's views on being overweight. whether your a stone overweight or 20 stone overweight, ...
I'm trying to lose weight. I'm going to start working out , but I heard that someone fasted for two weeks and it helped them a lot. I'm trying to do it a safe way so if anyone has ever done it before, which would be the right way of doing it?
You definitely do not want to try the FASTING way. That is much too dangerous! Most of the time when you lose weight too fast it will come back just as fast. Drink lots of water, if you need taste drink no more than 1 or 2 diet sodas or a sugarless drink a day. Cut out your potatoes and bread and eat anything else you want just smaller portions. I lost several pounds this way fast. Good Luck!

As a Muslim, I fast for 30 days during Ramadan. Fasting is healthy because it releases all the toxins in your body. If you're serious about fasting. Try these:
1) Eat a full breakfast before the sun rises (usually 3 or 4 am).
2) Don't eat or drink anything until the sun totally sets
3) Break your fast by eating soft food (soup, bread, fruit) in small portions
4) Start slowly by fasting for 3 days (you can increase the length of your fast as long as you wish, but not over 30 days). But consult a doctor first before fasting.
5) Fast 3 days every month. Fast 30 days in 1 year.
Good luck. Peace

Your body strives for balance. Just like it tries to always keep the same temperature, so it always tries to keep the same weight. It depends on how long you have felt yourself overweight, because your body's sense of where you shoud be will change the longer you are overweight. If you insist on fasting, stock up on organic fruit juices. Fasting is not an answer to what I assume is your deal, however, though it can be quite cleansing and that's always good. But if you're looking for a quick fix, sorry, but there isn't one and fasting is just another thing that won't work. Working out is the best thing you can do. Above all, be patient. Rootin' for ya.

no just exercise and dont eat junk do not fast because you could become anerexic

I know there are sometimes Spiritual/Religious reasons for a fast, but to kickstart weight loss fasting is definitely not the way to go. By fasting you actually lose muscle and once you start eating again that can easily be turned into fat. Fasting also slows your metabolism which is never good for losing weight.
If you're feeling as though you need to cleanse your body as part of your weight loss program, that's easily done by eating fruits and vegetables that are low in sugar content. Also by eating whole grains instead of breads that are made with enriched flour, etc.

Fasting is usually done for spiritual reasons not weight loss.
When people fast they are having a spiritual connection and this helps to go through it.
It would be safer to cut some things OUT of your diet and not fast all together. That is for weight lose. It sounds easy but it takes time and practice. I have fasted once a month since I was a kid for a few days only, it was for religious/spiritual reasons .
Your body actually goes into a mode of SURVIVING STARVATION, so what you have eaten will only be held on to longer and your food gets stored into fat. So you would be tricked into thinking you are FAT and want to fast more...while you would be depriving your body the nutrients it needs to be healthy.
A safe way to loose weight is to ask a doctor.
BUT not everyone has one of those.
Vitimins...
Water.
I simply cut out soda and junk foods with flour and sugar/glucose or anything with sugar in the first FIVE ingredients.
In May I started 2006 and I went from 210Lbs to 191Lbs. I also started to eat at least 3 small meals a day.
Your stomach shrinks.
Ever notice when you are sick and you don't eat, after a few days your stomach gets full faster? Well it shrinks. OUR stomachs are the size of our fists NORMALLY, we stretch them out when we over eat.
OR when we do not eat enough, Our bodies think we are starving and they hold on to anything longer.
I once met a man who was from a country some where in the mid-East...I forgot where now, but they have a 30 day fast. IT can be done safely. BUT those people do not go and work out.
As it was said limit your activities.
A mix or ready made solution called CAL MAG
is great for purifying yourself in such ways. It is CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM some come in fruity flavors you can get it in a health store.
As you begin your fast, you may hear from concerned loved ones and friends who urge you to protect your health. And they are right. You should protect your health. But I assure you, if done properly, fasting will not only prove to be a spiritual blessing, but physical blessing as well.
By all means, consult your doctor before you begin your fast. But, be aware that many doctors have not been trained in this area and so their understanding is limited. Even so, it would be wise to ask your doctor for a physical exam to make sure you are in good health. You may have a physical problem that would make fasting unwise or dangerous. Also, if you are under any type of medication, make sure you talk to your doctor before changing your regime. Prudence and caution are in order.
When you are assured that you are in good health, you are ready to begin your fast. Follow the guidelines in the "Physical Preparations" and "Maintaining Nutritional Balance and Health" parts of this website.
In spite of the absolute safety and benefits of fasting, there are certain persons who should NEVER fast without professional supervision. For example:
Persons who are physically too thin or emaciated
Persons who are prone to anorexia, bulimia, or other behavioral disorders
Those who suffer weakness or anemia
Persons who have tumors, bleeding ulcers, cancer, blood diseases, or who have heart disease
Those who suffer chronic problems with kidneys, liver, lungs, heart, or other important organs
Individuals who take insulin for diabetes, or suffer any other blood sugar problem such as hyperglycemia
Women who are pregnant or nursing
NOTE!!!!!! VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!
SPECIALLY IN SUMMER!!! DO NOT STOP DRINKING WATER!!!!!!! DO NOT DEHYDRATE!!!!!!

Many religious groups fast, but if it's your first time, I wouldn't go for two weeks on your first fast. In fact, I can promise you that you won't be able to do it. Try a few days at a time, then the next month, one week and so on.

dont fast too fast. fast slowly. =)

Fasting is to clean the body. If you want to lose weight. Exercises and eat right. Your local library has plenty of books to lose weight.

No. In order to lose weight you must keep your metabolism going by eating a lot of small meals every day. Trust me, I lost 70 lbs. Good luck!
HOW M
The right way is to do more exercise and take less those food that is oily, fast food and snack.
hello

ask your doctor
freedom_2bu
Eat salads with no dressing and a small piece of meat , fish or chicken for lunch and never forget breakfast.Your body will go to "survival mode' if you stop eating.And remember mussels burn more kilojoules so if you are going to work out make sure you eat healthy but please do eat
good luck

Well I've found that the best way to fast is to not eat!

FASTING MAKES YOU FAT IN THE LONG RUN as your body tries to build up fat stores for the next famine.
Mrs. Mojo Jojo
You have recieved quite a few informative answers to your question. I tend to agree with the majority of people in saying that a "fast" in not intended to coincide with rigorous excercise. You would be taxing your body to it's limit in doing so. This could prove to be dangerous. You must first consult your physician before attempting to do this. There are too many variables that need to be taken into consideration before you can make a informative decision to either move forward with the fast or decline. Here is something that you have probably not considered. When you fast, your brain/body doesn't know that you intend to eat again at a set date, thus, it will think you are starving. When that happens, the body tends to hold onto the extra fat calories just to survive. Some people who fast, don't lose very much weight because of this phenomenon.
I am in the middle of losing weight, 30lbs. First, I went to my physician for my annual check-up (blood work, urine, EKG, etc.) to get a qualified opinion of what would be the best excercise program for a person of my age and weight. As of yesterday, a month after visiting my physician and getting the green light to excercise, I am down 9lbs. What am I doing to lose the weight? Walking. I walk every day if not every other day 2-2 1/2 miles. That's all. It's not a slow paced walk...I keep a steady fast pace which allows me to sweat. My diet has changed also...I read food labels more now. I check for cholesterol and sodium contents and of course calories. All of this is not time consuming nor is it crimping my lifestyle at all. If it did I'd probably would still be 9lbs. heavier and on my way to becoming 10, 15, 20 lbs or more overweight.
I put as a source the wikipedia definition of the word "fast".
Good luck to you. Remember it took effort on your part to become overweight...it will take that same amount of effort and then some to lose it. There are no quick fixes.

No Way! Fasting means NO food NO Drink! Don't do it. Exercise and cut out the carbs and high fats. You will lose pretty fast. I lost 72 pounds this same way within 8 months. Went down 4 sizes.

Fasting is unhealthy no matter what. Therefore, there is no healthy way to fast.
Jeff D$
For years I've struggled with my weight, and have found that eating smaller portions more often while working out has been the best way to go! Always ask your Dr. first if you,re going to try something other than a healthy lifestyle. Fad diets and fasting DO NOT WORK over the long haul. (the voice of experience)

Hi! I read in a natural cures book that a Juice Fast is one of the fastest and healthiest ways to lose weight. It will completely detoxify your body. I also read that is has helped many people quit smoking. You can also drink only water and eat only fruits and vegetables. (The juice has more calories than just the fruit!) Within 4 days of doing this, I lost TWELVE pounds!!! Just be sure that whenever you go off of the diet, go off slow and don't take in too many calories the next few days after!! Hope this works for you as well as it has for me!
droppingknowledge
There are lots of different fastings options out there to ensure your health while you do so.
There are tea fasts, which revolve around detoxing teas (they sell special detox tea, but ginger and green teas are also good for detoxing.)
There are juice fasts, which use juices like lemon and cranberry for detoxing.
There is also a popular mixture which i have actually tried myself, consisting of water, lemon juice, cayanne pepper and maple syrup. The exact amount of each can be found on the internet.
Things to remember when fasting:
Drink lots of water! Don't overwork yourself- if you feel like excersising, do something calm like yoga. If you feel dizzy, faint, or anything else, it might be a sign that your sugar is low. Don't be afraid to supplement the fast with a piece of fruit like an orange, which will help raise it back to normal.
Also, don't be too disappointed if you don't drop a lot of weight when fasting. Everyone's body is different, and fasting is mostly about detoxing.
Good luck, hope this helped!
I want to add that fasting is NOT unhealthy. If you are using it as an excuse to starve yourself, then it is, but if you are simply fasting to kick start a diet or to detox, you are FINE.
Your body is better suited for fasting than it is for overeating. Fasting has been done for thousands of years by many different groups of people for reasons that range to religious ceremony to weight loss to detoxing your organs. As long as you have every intention of eating right after your fast, and you are not in danger of becoming anorexic, fasting is a healthy and effective option.

YES EVERY FAST IS SAFE BUT YOU FIRST NEED TO TRY THE THREE DAY FAST WHERE YOU JUST DO WATER AND CRAKERS OR EITHER YOU CAN DO WATER AND BREAD. YOU ALSO CAN DO THE FAST DAVID DID HE DID A FRUIT AND VEGATABLE FAST NO MEATS ONLY WATER FRUIT AND VEGATABLES. SOME DO THEIR FAST WHERE THEY EAT NOTHING AND DRINK NOTHING. IT IS NORMAL FOR YOU TO GET A HEAD ACHE YOUR BODY IS JUST DETOXIFYING WHICH MEANS IT IS CLEAING OUT AND YOU ARE STARTING A FRESH START. I FASTED FOR 40 DAYS I ATE BREAD OR CRAKERS AND DRANK NOTHING BUT WATER IT SEEMS HARD BUT ONCE YOU STAR SEEKING GOD IT IS AWESOME AND THE FAST WILL GO FASTER THEN WHAT IT MAY SEEM. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO PRAY AND ASK GOD TO LEAD YOU TO DO THE FAST HE FEEL IS RIGHT FOR YOU. SOME PEOPLE START AT 6 AM AND FINSH 3PM OR 6 PM SO YOU CAN DO EITHER BUT LIKE I SAID PRAY AND ASK GOD TO REVEAL TO YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO DO........ HE WILL GUIDE YOU AND SHOW YOU WHAT TO DO. GOD BLESS FEEL FREE AND EMAIL ME ANYTIME. PROPHETESSTAW@VERIZON.NET YOU ALSO FAST WHEN YOU ARE EXPECTING GOD TO DO SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE IF YOU ARE EXPECTING HIM TO MAKE A POWERFUL MOVE N YOUR LIFE........
SINCERELY,

You should fast only if you're not going to engage in any rigorous physical activity (workouts, running, lifting heavy objects, etc) during the course of the day. Doing so will greatly diminish your stamina, leaving you very fatigued because of the depletion of nutrients in your body. If you do need to undergo such activity, you are permitted to have some health foods like Fruits, Vegetables, and even some Gatorade to compensate. It's also important to take lots of water to avoid dehydration (you're allowed to take water, black coffee, or ordinary tea as much as you want during your fasting period as they all do not contain any calories).
When you finally get to eat, don't pig out as your body will not be able to adjust well and you could get health problems (this is evidenced in the case of the late Karen Carpenter, who tried to eat out too much to fight off her Anorexia problem). Have yourself a meal in moderate amounts (example: eat about a quarter or less of a full slab Steak along with 1/2 cup of rice or corn) and eat slowly. Eat with light meals that contain fiber, such as having Wheat Bread instead of Regular Bread, or Oatmeal instead of Pasta, so that you should stay full for a longer period of time during the fasting period. Though this is not neccessary (you can have yourself a Big Mac meal if you wish), eating light, healthier foods help you lose weight a little faster.
If for any reason, you must eat more than once of a full meal during the day of your fasting period, compensate with exercise and consuming 2 or more cloves of raw garlic. Garlic helps increase your metabolism and burning fat faster. If you worry about the side effect of gingivitis, you can saute the garlic in a pan for a minute before eating to reduce the smell.
When starting off, it's a good idea to have light snacks during your fasting period to allow time for your stomach to adjust. Feel free to have a small pack of crackers or vegetable sticks if you get hungry. Once you get used to it, reduce your consumption of snacks gradually until you have no longer of need of it.
As a short summary for a good fasting and providing the maximum effect, do the following:
- Eat once for the whole day
- When eating, eat only light/fiber rich meals or add garlic to your meal
- Avoid rigorous physical work (light work or exercise is ok)
- Drink lots of water or any other no-calorie drink to fight dehydration
- Snack with crackers or vegetable pieces and reduce them as you go
Good Luck with your fasting.

Yes. If you abstain from eating foods, but take vitamin supplements, drink plenty of water, natural juices, and electrolytes. But do not do this for too long it will weaken your system.
