Preparation and Tips
Try to begin your fast when you have nothing major planned. The first few days can be
very rough and you may have very little energy. Use distilled, spring or filtered water if
possible. Drink water cold or ice cold if you can – it helps your body burn energy to warm
back up and cold water tastes sweeter – you will be drinking lots of it! Get as much rest as
possible in the first few days – energy levels will rise after about day five.
How long should you fast.
Longer fasts are better than shorter ones as once the body enters the fasting state it is a
lot easier to stay there then to stop and start. It gives the body uninterrupted time to do its
work. A 30 day juice fast is standard in most European Health Facilities but the good news
is that 10 days on a Water Fast gives the same benefits and weight loss as a 30 day juice
fast! You can alternate between juice an water on a fast if you need to but your body won’
t enter ketosis and there will be more urge to eat.
