Date: January 17, 2008 12:31AM Can anyone recommend a short fast for cleansing out the gut? Something that's gentle but specifically aimed at cleansing out toxins and unhealthy fats? I've started going just 50% raw to start with as I have over a 100 lbs to lose, but already i've got tummy problems and I get so many cravings. I thought that if I cleansed my system with some kind of fast maybe it would help but I don't think I could last very long.
Also, in general is there something that I could take to aid digestion - I think maybe I have some unhealthy bacteria as I get so much gas? I do plan to see someone for specialist advice in a couple of weeks, but want to try and carry on with the 50% raw till then. Re: can anyone recommend a short fast ...

[www.astrodreamadvisor.com] only 3 days too! I think its better to mono fast than water fast, less harsh. And more short term frequent fasts too rather than longer multi day fasts. Like do a mono fast each weekend, say saturday and sunday. Rob Re: can anyone recommend a short fast ...

Date: January 17, 2008 04:16AM Fresh orange juice can be an excellent way to fast for internal cleanliness. Just keep in mind that fasting is (in my opinion) a terrible way to lose weight in the long run - as it permanently lowers the metabolism. I was able to lose weight quite readily by eating more - and just choosing healthier alternatives. Just my experiences.

Date: January 17, 2008 07:10AM Thanks for your advice David. I wasn't really thinking of fasting to lose weight as such, just more for an internal cleanse. I have been drinking grapefruit juice actually as I fancied something really fresh.

Date: January 17, 2008 02:15PM starflower, perhaps look into how you are combineing your foods? I remember having gas and problems at first. Stick with it and perhaps keep a food chart of what you eat and when so you can look back at it. Going raw you will have no problems losing weight. I lost between 2 to 6 pounds each week. It is important to not lose to fast so your body can keep up with it and all. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
