To fasting people usually come, preferring to suffer better one day, than just suffer a week for suffering. Someone likes a one-week diet with a low calorie content, while others realize that they will not last a week, so they tighten their belts and start a hunger strike.
There are two methods of starvation - classic and dry fasting. The first method involves the exclusion of food, but the availability of water in open access for the entire duration of the hunger strike. The second method is the exclusion of both food and water, and in most cases, any contact with liquids is excluded - showering, washing, washing hands and dishes.
What happens during dry fasting?
A well-known fact is that fat cells are made up of water. When the body feels an acute need for a liquid, it will have to break down the fat to quench its thirst. But is it only fat? The glycogen contained in the muscles also contains a huge amount of water. Actually, the relief muscles are pumped with water, so after dry fasting do not be surprised by the paucity of their forms.Adherents of dry fasting convince that its consequences will not only lose weight, but also overall recovery. People who are far from medicine will tell you that terrible microbes will be released from the intestine, which exist there, in the number, all the cells of the body prevail. Whether they counted these "all cells" - we do not know, but on the idea that in the intestine there are, in general, useful microorganisms, they will stop that all this is a load for immunity.
But let's show by example what is dry fasting for weight loss.
Preparation
Preparation for dry fasting begins in two weeks. First you give up meat products, salt, sugar, sweeteners, alcohol, coffee, chocolate, smoking. Then one week before the start of the hunger strike, go to the vegetable ration, reduce the portions, after six do not eat.
At this stage it is necessary to determine the exact date and time of the onset of fasting. Also, many recommend "clean" the intestines and make an enema or drink a laxative.
An hour before the start of fasting you should eat, and the last 60 minutes to drink water with lemon and honey. The last sip, and the hunger strike has begun!
Starvation
There is no point in writing much: do not eat or drink, walk more and ventilate the apartment.
Exit
For health and prevention of harmful effects it is very important to know how to get out of dry fasting. We must leave at exactly the same hour that the hunger strike began.
First, just drink water, wash your face, take a bath with herbal decoctions.
The first meals should consist of juices, fruit and vegetable purees. Further, if you were hungry for 24 hours, you can switch to dietary protein nutrition on the same day - cottage cheese , yogurt, kefir, boiled bacon, fish.
If the hunger-strike lasted 2-3 days (this can be practiced only under the supervision of a doctor, in a hospital), it is possible to start animal food only the next day.
Weight loss with a one-day dry fasting will be from 1 to 3 kilograms.
If you practice dry fasting regularly, weekly, in the subsequent times the effect of weight loss will be reduced.
State of health
Of course, during fasting you will feel the demands of the stomach in eating, dry mouth. Moreover, to think and plan dry fasting is much easier theoretically than to withstand even the first hours. If your motivation is inadequate, you will surrender very quickly and more than that, with stress, you will fly into food. This is very harmful.
Whether dry fasting will benefit you or not is not of the utmost importance. It is much more important to start, you have reached the end and have stood all 24 hours. Otherwise, it will be obvious harm.
