Water Fasting Pros, Cons, and How It Operates

GET FREE E-BOOK WITH 20 BEST RECIPES: https://www.allasyummyfood.com/recipes.
Hey guys, I wanted to share my experience with 36 hours fast and show you the results of how my body reacted. I am simply sharing my journey as so many of you asked me for this video as you are all beginners..
A 36-hour fast means that you fast one entire day. You finish dinner on day 1 at 7 pm for instance, and you would skip all meals on day 2, and not eat again until breakfast at 7 am on day 3. So that is a total of 36 hours of fasting. Well for one, you will give your digestive system a well-earned rest..
36 hour fasts are fabulous for weight loss, as it goes to stored sugar and fat. During a period of extended fasting, the body can take time to help regenerate cells and if the cell is beyond the point of useful regeneration, it will be killed and cleared safely away. During Fasting, the body will increase the rate at which worn out or damaged cells are broken-down..
The problem for new people and fasting is that there’s a perception that you will constantly be hungry. “Rumbly Tummy” does not constitute ravenous hunger, just make sure that you drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated. I am not trying to push fasting on anybody, let’s be honest, any fasting is just calorie-controlled dieting with a different name..
Benefits of 36 hours fast. They include:
reduced belly fat and overall weight.
increased ketoneTrusted Source bodies (produced by burning fat), even on non-fasting days, which are known to promote health.
reduced levels of a biological markerTrusted Source associated with inflammation and age-associated disease.
lowered cholesterol levels.
You may also protect yourself against heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and stroke. To top it off, you’ll enjoy the food you do eat that much more. Maybe it’s time to start fasting..
EXTENDED FASTING WARNING: Extended fasting for longer than 72 hours requires medical supervision. Discuss your fast plans with your doctor including usage of this supplement. Stop your fast immediately if you feel unwell at any point..
DO NOT FAST IF:
You are under 18.
You suffer from bulimia, anorexia or any unhealthy eating patterns.
If you have serious health complications.
If you never fasted before.
If you are alone

So off the bat, one advantage of Water Fasting becomes clear, that’s the speed. For example, assuming a consistent daily burn of 2500, in just 72 hours You’ll have burnt 7500 calories. This same level of weight loss would have taken the person on the cutting diet 15 days. This speed advantage has been confirmed by research studies,in one review researchers remarked on the significant amounts lost over short durations. For example in one study men fasted on and off over two weeks, and by the end had lost 3% of their bodyweight, in another study women lost 4% after 3 weeks of on and off fasting..
Another advantage to water fasting is, after the fast is complete, the person fasting doesn’t need to continue to eat below what their daily burn. Remember, they are looking at the big picture, as long as they are in say a weekly calorie deficit, there may be days within that week that they eat in a slight surplus, unlike the daily calorie restriction dieters whose bodies remain in a deficit day after day..
So while water fasting has the potential for faster fat loss, including occasional daily surpluses has actually resulted in studies showing more participants stick with these periodic water fasting diets, and as a result, they are able to lose more weight since they don’t quit..
Leading up to your water fast it’s a good idea to stay well hydrated, including adequate fiber in your diet beforehand is also recommended to help prevent constipation..
As the 16 hour mark approaches though, glycogen stores are nearing depletion, as this happens blood glucose and insulin levels fall. Hunger signals reach their highest point here, and you may even feel like you have difficulty concentrating. In my opinion this 16-28 hour period is the hardest part of any fast, contrary to what many would assume though, from here everything actually gets better..
See while you might be feeling frustrated and hungry, your body is implementing an amazing metabolic shift. Since insulin has fallen, fat cells begin releasing free fatty acids back into the bloodstream, Its during this 16-28 hours period that cells like your muscles shift over to burning this fat for fuel..
During the first 5 days of a fast subjects tend to lose weight far more rapidly than they do later on. One study for example saw a subject lose an average of.9kg over the first 5 days of his fast, while the days afterwards averaged about.3 kgs..
The enhanced initial weight loss is caused not by excess fat being burned, but by the body’s switch to burning fat and ketosis itself. The switch causes the body to drop large amounts of sodium, since sodium is one of the main electrolytes used to hold water in our bodies, the body also begins dropping water, leading to this extra weight loss..
At this stage Water Fasters might also begin notice a mental shift, clinicians have noted in subjects increased levels of alertness, mood improvement, a subjective feeling of well-being and even occasionally euphoria..
The increases in energy and focus reported by Water fasters may stem from increased levels of norepinephrine, a catecholamine which operates as a hormone and stimulatory neurotransmitter in the body. In normal subjects levels are usually near 0 during sleep, and reach their highest levels during the fight or flight response..
As far as insulin goes, I’ve yet to see a study that shows black coffee or unsweetened herbal tea could cause insulin to rise. In fact one analysis linked coffee consumption to lower levels of fasting insulin..
While fasting activates several pathways which could in theory have an effect on this, the one you’ll hear the most about is Autophagy.

Solenn and I were looking for a new challenge this year. So we decided to do a 7 day fast. The premise is simple, 7 full days, no food, just water. NOTHING ELSE. No juices, tea, coffee, broths, vitamins, etc… If it’s not just water, it’s not a water fast:).
Some people say it’s good for you, some say it’s bad. I think we are smart enough to know when something isn’t working. So if you feel like this isn’t for you, don’t do it..
Warning: Please don’t do this if you are underweight, have an eating disorder or have any medical conditions. Talk to your doctor first..

You are under 18.
You suffer from bulimia, anorexia or any unhealthy eating patterns.
If you have serious health complications.
If you never fasted before.
If you are alone.
Hey everyone! I wanted to share my experience with fasting! I am not promoting it, just sharing what I did. Please talk to the doctors if you want to fast and educate yourself a lot before attempting to do any fasts..
Water fasting is popular in the wellness world, but you should approach it with caution. While it may help you lose weight in the short-term, it’s not a sustainable approach to health or weight loss, and it puts you at risk for health complications..
Many cultures/religions include some fasting. The main reason for fasting is the same in all of these beliefs: Physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing; resetting. Fasting is nature’s way of allowing your body to heal itself, and that rest is essential to the success of the process..
When you stop eating (start fasting) all the energy that has been used to gain energy from food is now being used for flushing toxins out of the system and boost the natural healing mechanism of the body..
How to Water Fast.
Water fasting is simple, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. During a water fast, you can’t consume anything but water. If you’ve never done a water fast before, you might want to prepare your body by gradually decreasing your calorie consumption for a few days leading up to your fast..
If you do engage in water fast, try to resist the urge to eat a big meal. After restricting yourself from calories for an extended period of time, consuming large amounts of food can cause digestive discomfort or nausea. At worst (though it’s unlikely), you are at risk for refeeding syndrome, a potentially fatal condition that involves rapid metabolic changes, usually in people who are extremely malnourished..
I will show you how to break the fast and upload next video on what to eat excatly the day after the fast as well, so you don’t gain weight. By the third day post-fast, you should be able to eat normally again..
How much water should I drink?
The first thing to remember is that 60 – 70% of our body is WATER. So, it’s crucial that you drink enough quantity of water, which should not be less than 8 – 10 glasses daily, to support the cleansing process. Drinking not enough water is during water fasting is the problem we observe the most. The body gets dehydrated, as a result, it becomes more acidic, and the cells don’t get hydrated enough to keep the blood alkalized..
Who can benefit from water fasting?
Everyone can benefit from water fasting. Either you are seeking for a periodic, or you suffer from different conditions; obesity, chronic disease, autoimmune disorders, food addictions, digestive disorders, mental and physical exhaustion, etc..
Benefits of water fasting:
Improves Body Composition and Fitness.
Boosts Your Metabolism.
Supports Fat Loss and Ketosis.
Improves Cardiovascular Health.
Lowers Blood Pressure Decreases Blood Sugar.
Promotes Heart Health.
May Slow Aging and Enhance Longevity.
Decreases Inflammation.
Improves Cell Recycling.
Increases Growth Regulation.
Promotes a Healthy Stress Response.
Supports Healthier Collagen in Skin.
Dangers of Water Fasting.
Nutrient Deficiencies.
Any fasting protocol can put you at risk for nutrient deficiencies. By restricting calories, you are also restricting essential vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids, and electrolytes—all things your body needs to function properly.

Instead, start by adding caloric beverages like milk or juice, and work your way up using snacks and small meals. By the third day post-fast, you should be able to eat normally again..

Nutrient Deficiencies.

Dehydration.
Even though you drink water during a water fast, you can be at risk for dehydration. For most people, at least 20 percent of daily water consumption comes from the foods you eat. If you don’t increase your water intake during the fast, you will actually end up consuming much less water than usual..
Hypotension.
Hypotension is extremely low blood pressure—the opposite of hypertension, or high blood pressure. It can cause dizziness and lightheadedness..
Hyponatremia.
You shouldn’t exercise during a water fast because you will lose salt through perspiration and won’t be able to replace it by eating food or drinking sports beverages. Use electrolytes every day in your water..
Dizziness, Fatigue, and Trouble Focusing.
Dizziness, fatigue, and brain fog are all symptoms of extreme calorie restriction. When you don’t consume the number of calories your body needs, your body will struggle to perform at an optimal level. It may become difficult to focus at work or school during a water fast. Fasting can also cause mild-to-severe headaches..
Binge Eating.
Fasting—and dieting or restricting calories in general—often leads to binge eating. Fasting can also lead to obsessive or intrusive thoughts about food, which may cause you to binge eat when your water fast is over.

Water Fasting has been around a while, but it is becoming a trend now. Here are some pros, cons, and alternatives to water fasting. Enjoy.
