Using a Fasting Diet for Improving Health

Using a Fasting Diet for Improving Health

Although fasting may primarily be an abstinence from solid food, when warming up for a fasting program, actually observing a fast and breaking it, a knowledge of a ?fasting diet? may actually be necessary for success with it.

People often

ask me: ?Is there such a thing as a fasting diet?"

My mental response is ?Well, fasting is abstinence from food so it can?t necessarily be called a diet??

Nonetheless, they further clarify that they are talking in reference of a dietetic suggestion to prepare for, observe and wean (break away) from fasting.

If that is something you may be inquisitive about, the answer is Yes.

For a preparatory stage of fasting, one could try the following menu plan.

Breakfast:

A choice of the following

1. A tall glass of Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice

2. A tall glass of Fresh squeezed lemonade flavored with genuine maple

Syrup (the darker the grade the better)

Lunch:

A mono-meal of an organic fruit in season for example
Apples in the fall and winter, Melons in the summer, Berries in spring.

Dinner:

Fresh, home-made salads. A simp

le dressing could be

(a) Lemon juice, olive oil and un-iodized sea-salt

(b) Avocadoes or Green coconuts blended with tomatoes and some sea salt

Or

Raw and/or cooked root vegetables such as Celery, Carrots, Potatoes, Plantains, raw or slightly heated fruit veggies (these can be blended into Soups or dressings for your salads)

The menu above not only prepares the body for fasting, but aids in detoxifying the body so as not to shock it too excessively when you do begin to fast.
Moreover, owing to the roughage in the food, the broom-like qualities of these substances will also help cleanse the colon and the visceral organs out, making it much easier for a cleanse to occur.

Now for the actual juice recipe for fasting, here are the necessary ingredients.

-Grade B Maple Syrup (Organic preferably)

-Organic Valencia Oranges

-Chilled Water (distilled, reverse osmosis or filtered)

The basic recipe is this

For each medium size to large orange and 2.5 (or slightly less) oz of maple syrup, add enough cold water to make a pint?s worth of juice.

The Genuine Maple Syrup has a balanced mixture of sugars (unlike honey, which is a big no! no!) and when thoroughly masticated (the fasting juice that is...) it is released with even more ease into the blood stream, consequently it makes the blood sugar levels while fasting more leveled out.

So for a fasting diet, you could give the suggestion above a try and I bet you will see for yourself the amazing benefits of this ?great physician within?
