Fasting, or how to lose weight at 7 kg for 2 weeks

Boris Zakagain and again Layfhaker wins his guest post. This time we will focus on the hungry. Or rather, about weight loss and cleansing the body by fasting - not easy, and medical.

Under medical starvation meant a temporary waiver of food. Many people think that fasting - this is another way to lose a couple of extra kilos. In fact, the main purpose of fasting - it's cleansing of the body. It activates the metabolism, on the third or fourth day of fasting there is a burst of energy, strengthens the immune system, triggers self-healing, even chronic diseases such as allergies or arthrosis, if not gone completely, it may take a lighter form.

This is the theory, but how it looks in practice?

About seven years ago I was with my better half decided to go relax in the sanatorium. We choose simple: to close to home, and of an acceptable price. The choice fell on a clinic that specializes in medical starvation and homeopathy. Swimming pool, sauna, water treatments... we were not going to starve, it is voluntary, and we chose a diet food.

At that time I was 33 years old. Due to sedentary work, it is not a healthy diet and the almost complete lack of sports my weight reached 87 kilograms during the growth of 171 centimeters. This, of course, is not a disaster, but the discomfort began to appear. Prior to that, my body gave me a pair of signals that can be expressed in a familiar expression:

Boris, you're wrong!

Once, having gone cycling with children, I almost fainted after a rise; Then, passing the examination by a doctor, I still fainted after ECG with a load. I was showered with diagnoses problems with blood circulation, high cholesterol, weak light plus asthmatic component, the weakening of connective tissue, found allergic to dust, birch tree and a couple Blossoms. Not a bad bunch, right? And moreover, in 33 years.

So, the clinic, the first talking to your doctor. Head physician of the clinic, a pupil of Buchinger, of course, an adherent of starvation, putting a lot of effort trying to persuade me to try to starve - they say, it is better to try once than hear a hundred times. In addition, fasting can be interrupted at any time.

starving menu

Breakfast: a glass of tomato or other vegetable juice. (Vitamins.)

Dinner: vegetable broth. Vegetables boiled for three hours and filtered. Fed bland, without salt, pepper and other spices. Give some taste, you can only use the fresh herbs: parsley, fennel and so on, but not all together, like a Zhvanetskogo one something. (Minerals.)

Dinner: herbal tea and 20 grams of honey.

Water and herbal teas you can drink all day you like.

Schedule

cardio

20 minutes we turn the wheel at a given pulse.

The formula is very simple - 180 minus age. For me, at that time it was tantamount to murder. After that I moved away about an hour. The blood pounding in his temples, dizziness, and his legs like lead are poured.

Water treatments

Contrast baths for hands, feet, pelvis, and in a weekend full bath.

I passed it with pleasure.

Colon

At first, I was determined to put it mildly negative, but when I saw that it has nothing to do with the enema, then changed his mind on the neutral.

Day afternoon I had to lie down with a bag of warm boiled potatoes, attach it to the right side. This should help cleanse the liver.

In addition, there is the opportunity to attend various courses: aqua gym, Pilates, yoga and so on.

My feeling during fasting

The first day

Taking on his chest a glass of tomato juice, I went to the morning exercises. Something like what we did in the physical education classes at school. Hunger, to my surprise, it was not.

Then an exercise bike - as I said, it's hard. After relaxing, almost crawling off to water treatment. Contrast tray for calves: 5 minutes keeping the feet in warm water, then in cold 20 seconds, again 5 minutes in a warm and finally 20 seconds cold.

After that it became easier, but I am most surprised by the complete absence of hunger!

So, dinner - soup from zucchini. Frankly, I'm in a nightmare could not imagine such a present.

Bombarded with parsley broth and drank it in one gulp deal.

The room was waiting for me a bag of chopped boiled potatoes... Smell represent? Half a day without food.

They say some of these hungry eat up pouches. Here came the appetite. With a tremendous effort, I resist the temptation to eat potatoes in their skins, and imagination dorisovyvaet smoked skumbriyku with the importation, sliced ​​sweet onion rings, and it all poured butter... I think, dear reader, do you understand my state.

Since the mandatory program was finished before lunch, I decided to just relax on the balcony with a book.

Licked 20 grams of honey at dinner, talking to neighbors on the table, I decided to reward myself for merits before a visit to the sauna.

The second and subsequent days

The second and third days have been not very nice. Bike exhausts, water treatment is not a pleasure. There was weakness, I even began to think about rejection of starvation.

Waking up on the fourth day, I was surprised to feel it is not clear where did the burst of energy! Starvation was not, and even a bag of potatoes did not cause hallucinations hungry. From that day a turning point in the process of starvation. I began to attend all kinds of events and exercises. Bicycle stopped to annoy, and twist it with each passing day it becomes easier and easier. Oh, I almost forgot about losing weight. Every day was spent between 300 and 800 grams.

On the seventh day, I decided to take part in the forest walk - as much as 14 kilometers! Today, after I twice went 100 kilometers, and the average distance of my training is 20 kilometers away, it causes a smile, but at that time, for me it was a feat. Let me remind you, my diet was about 300 calories a day. I was struck by the energy - it appeared out of nowhere.

The planned 10 days of fasting have passed, and I began a program of transition to a normal diet.

Total

For two weeks I lost 7 kg. Forgotten what allergies. I bought a home exercise bike, and became a regular on it to deal with. Completely changed the diet, and to be honest, this permutation is unlikely to have occurred without fasting. 10 days of consumption tasteless liquid completely changed my taste. Within a year of fasting, I lost 72 kilos, and since then keep your weight within.

My wife and I have become regulars at this clinic and starved there four more times.

The following articles explain in detail about the starvation.
