Weight Loss Story - Why Don't People Do This To Lose Weight?

One of the oldest and best weight loss programs is fasting. Although I don't practice what I preach, it is a winning way to lose weight. I found that if I took one day a week and didn't eat food - just drank fruit juice all day that I not only lost weight fast (maybe that's why they call it a fast) I curbed my appetite for the rest of the week.

The benefits from this is that you not only lose weight, you make it so your system isn't hungry all the time. I like to think of it as a dog on a choker chain. You fast on a certain day and don't eat anything. You just drink fruit juices. The next day you eat breakfast (break the fast) and continue on normal all week.

I found that this significantly reduced my hunger cravings all week, but by the end of the week they started coming back. So it's like walking the dog. When he begins to pull, you give him a slight tug to keep him in line walking with you - not pulling you. With fasting when your stomach starts to control you, you simply go on a fast to get your appetite back into submission.

You can do a 24-hour fast or a "sun up" to "sun down" type of fast. Drinking fruit juice is good because it gives you energy without starving to death, yet it removes your dependency on large quantities of regular food. That's my weight loss story!
