Dry fasting
As strange as it sounds, fasting is good for the body. It is believed that during periods of refusal to eat, the body starts processes that allow it to quickly recover. This method belongs to the category of radical, but very effective.
Entering fasting
With dry fasting, a person abstains not only from food, but also from water during the entire time of fasting. This process can last from 1 day to 4. This excludes not only drinking water, but in general any contacts. A person should not take a shower, wash his hands, rinse his mouth and any other. Various diseases can be cured by this method.
These harsh conditions make dry fasting very effective. At this time, the body begins to actively break down fatty deposits, as well as pathological tissues in the organs. Organ systems are completely rebuilt so that water and nutrients are extracted from their own reserves.
You can't start fasting as soon as you like. Fasting itself should be preceded by a certain preparatory period. It lasts 2 weeks. During this time, you should give up refined sugar, sugar-containing foods and sweeteners, salt and foods containing salt. You can not eat beef, lamb and pork, drink coffee and drinks containing alcohol. In addition, you must give up tobacco.
During these two weeks it is allowed to use:
- Eggs, fish and poultry.
- Milk products.
- Berries and fruits as well as dried fruits.
- Boiled vegetables.
- Porridge.
- Nuts and mushrooms.
- Sprouts.
- Herbal tea and clean water.
- For sweetening, you must use stevia and honey.
A week before the scheduled fasting date, you must switch to a completely plant-based diet. It is necessary to complete the preparatory period by eating. An hour before the fasting time, you need to drink a lot of water with the addition of honey and lemon.
Dry fasting for weight loss
If a person has not previously used such a method of losing weight as fasting, then you need to refrain from food and water for no more than 24 hours. Best of all, this time is outside the home. To protect yourself from temptations, it is generally recommended to go out into the countryside outside the city. Keep in mind that even if you just cook food, this will halve the effectiveness of fasting. So stay away from the kitchen altogether.

Way out of fasting
The process of getting out of dry fasting is just as important as preparing for it. In terms of duration, it should take twice as long as the fasting period itself. In no case should you follow the lead of your hungry body and immediately make up for lost time.
First you need to drink boiled clean water in the amount of 1 glass. An hour later, you need to drink another portion of the same boiled water. Then the person should eat the first hours of light foods - juices from fruits and vegetables. They should be drunk no more than a quarter of a glass. The break between portions of juice should be 2 hours. It is best to drink pineapple or citrus juice, but pomegranate and grape juice will work.
Then it is necessary to introduce compotes, light salads and vegetable soups into the diet. At the same time, salt and sugar should not be added to dishes. You need to eat in small portions.
