Maybe thats why I can stick to it easier than a diet. No portioning issues, no counting calories or fat grams....just dont eat anything. Pretty simple.
So I have to admit I was a little stoked when I stumbled on a website today fully engaged in the process and direction of weight-loss through fasting. In fact, there is a LOT on the web about the topic, and it was pretty interesting. Juice fasts, water-fasts, tea fasts, etc. The common denominator? No solid food for a set time period of between 1 and 40 days. The results? Incredible. And what shocked me was that no one was selling a "program" or "system". There are books for sale on these sites, and some "planning" type materials, but nothing like you see in a generic weight-loss arena. I guess its because no ones gonna sign up and shell out money for a plan that cant be labled "no-hunger" no will-power necessary" or whatever.
That would be bull@#$.
Today's day 3. I think at this point I will stay with my original plan of 7 days, and then be diligent about the foods I eat from there on. However, if I continue to read about all the positive benefits of withholding food from my system, I may extend this out longer. I cant help but believe that if, done under strict guidelines, I can break my addition to sugars, and fats and food in general, that I could succeed in my goals faster than trying to manage the never-ending barrage of question marks that arise while "dieting".
I guess we'll find out......
