Making use of fasting to tone and lose weight is a good idea. The process will allow you to get rid of unwanted weight, but it does not mean that it will not come back. You must become aware of how abstinence affects your body and stay committed to be successful. This will ensure that the weight does not creep back.

It is vital that you change your mental and emotional feelings to change the effects of your current diet on your body. Fasting has often been viewed as a new start for your taste buds. The chemicals and impurities that your body will be cleansed of will allow you to actually taste what you are eating. To commence with a fast, you have to make a decision about the method you wish to use.

The type of fast you choose is dependent on your lifestyle, goals, body chemistry and health issues. You may choose one method today and find it appropriate, however, you may opt for a different one tomorrow. The dry method is also known as Hebrew Fast, Black Fast and Absolute Fast. This is the most extreme method of abstinence. It comes from a spiritual base and is undertaken by foregoing water and food for short periods of time. Although this method is not always the recommended first choice, it is an interesting choice.

With liquid fasts, you limit your periods of abstinence to drinking liquids only. The water method is one of the simplest liquid fasts. From a physical aspect, it offers high therapeutic benefits and does not require long time periods for results. The process of detoxification happens quickly with this method. You may however find this to be extremely restrictive if you are a beginner in fasting.

Juice fasts have become a very popular method. It is a pure and natural method of detoxification. Two diets that fall into this category, the Lemonade Diet and the Master Cleanse diet have gained tremendous popularity. The maple syrup which is included in the diet provides the necessary calories. These diets are said to be very good for cleansing of the intestines.

You can opt for a partial method whereby you include some solid foods in the diet. The amount of food you eat is not the important facet of this diet. Excluding or limiting certain types of food is what makes it a partial method. Diets such as rice diets are considered to be partial fasts.

An important factor of the fast is the time you allocate to it. Popular time periods include the three-day fast as it can quite easily be achieved over a weekend. Beginners should consider starting with a one-day fast. This provides you with insight into your body's reaction to this type of diet. The overall fast period should take into account the initial period during which you are changing your normal diet. The transition period when you slowly return to your normal diet should also be accounted for.

Fasting offers you the opportunity to lose weight in a healthy way. If you hope to tone your body after the weight loss, you will be required to do suitable exercises to achieve your goal. It may not be possible for you to do the exercises during the period of abstinence, but this is dependent on how you react to the overall process.
