Fasting for weight loss is by no means the best way to lose weight. Many believe that if you do not eat anything at all, losing weight will be the most effective. Few people remember that our body is a harmonious system that is difficult to survive various failures and changes. Do not forget that fasting as a way to lose weight should be used only under the supervision of a doctor!
Weight loss in fasting
From the first day of fasting, everyone who loves quick results is exulting - the weight goes pretty fast. However, as a rule, this does not affect fat, which spoils the figure, it remains in place, and excess fluid and intestinal contents leave the body. Starving for a long time, which would be enough to consolidate this result, can be very dangerous, especially if we take into account how much energy and energy a person requires from modern life. Therefore, basically everyone stops for a few days. During this time, the body reduces metabolism, believing that bad times have come. And then, when a person returns to the usual diet plan, the body uses all the possibilities for accumulation, in the case of the next hunger period. Thus, this method of losing weight can even lead to weight gain.
That's why it's worth using it only under the supervision of a doctor and only if you have excellent, strong health. If possible, it is better not to give the body such loads. Think twice before trying to lose weight with fasting.
What starvation is better?
There are two types of fasting - wet and dry. How to carry out dry fasting, we will not consider, because without the supervision of a doctor, this is extremely dangerous. It excludes food and water.
Wet starvation is starvation on the water. This is the only type of fasting that can be done on your own - and no more than one day. During the day, you can drink up to 2.5 liters of clean drinking water and lose 1-2 kg, but they will return right away as soon as you go to normal diet.

It can be conducted after corporate parties, holidays, holidays, or better - systematically 1-2 times a week on the same days.
