Weight loss and juice fasting
Loss of weight indicates, almost guarantees, that
detoxification and healing is occurring. I can't
stress this too much. Of all the things I find my patients seem to
misunderstand or forget after being told, it is that they can't heal
in a rapid manner without getting smaller.
This reality is especially hard for the
family and friends of someone who is fasting, who will say,
- "You're not eating enough
protein or nutrient food to be healthy and you must eat more or you're
going to develop serious deficiencies."
- "You don't have any energy, you
must be getting sicker."
- "You're doing the wrong thing,
obviously."
- "You have less energy and look
worse every day. Go and see a doctor before it is too late."
To succeed with friends like this, a
faster has to be a mighty self-determined person with a powerful
ability to disagree with others.
Does juice fasting cause nutritional deficiencies?
Medical personnel claim that rapid weight loss often causes
dangerous deficiencies; these deficiencies force the person to overeat
and regain even more weight afterward. This is largely untrue, though
there is one true aspect to it: a fasted, detoxified body becomes a
much more efficient digester and assimilator, extracting a lot more
nutrition from the same amount food it used to eat.
Gaining weight after juice fasting
I've had a few obese fasters become quite angry with me for
this reason; they hoped to get thin through fasting and after the
fast, to resume overeating
with complete irresponsibility as before, without weight
gain.
People also fear weight loss during fasting because they fear becoming anorexic or bulimic. They won't! A person who
abstains from eating for the purpose of improving their health, in order to
prevent or treat illness, or even one who fasts for weight loss
will not develop an eating disorder.
Eating disorders and fasting
Occasionally a neurotic individual with a pre-existing eating disorder
will become obsessed with fasting and colon cleansing as a
justification to legitimize their compulsion.
During my career while monitoring hundreds of fasters, I've known
two of these. I discourage them from fasting or colon cleansing, and
refuse to assist them, because they carry the practices to absurd
extremes.
