<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nBut it doesn\u2019t have to be if you know what you\u2019re doing, how to do a water fast, and what you should and should not do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t worry, I will guide you as you keep reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Benefits of Water Fasting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As I said a few lines before, there are lots of water fasting benefits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although the main topic here is water fasting for weight loss, let\u2019s see a few happy things that can happen to you during and after a water fasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blood Pressure Regulation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Medical studies have shown people who went on a supervised water fast have seen their blood pressure come back to normal after 14 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This shows that water fasting can really get out of danger someone who suffers from borderline hypertension<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weight Loss<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
When you don\u2019t have any carb intakes and you only drink water, the ketone bodies inside of your metabolism get higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And when you enter into a ketosis state, your body burns fat much faster than a typical low carb diet because it will actually seek out energy from your fat storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Natural Detoxification<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
When you fast and drink water, your liver is fully triggered to pull all toxins out of your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rejuvenation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
When your body is clean of toxins, your organism is like new. As a result, you will feel healthier, more energetic, and in a better mood. This in turn will make you a more productive person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Happens When You Fast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As you probably know, the carbs that we ingest are broken down and transformed into glucose, a natural form of sugar for our body to function properly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This sugar storage is known as glycogen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s where the body gets its original source of energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we fast, the body is deprived of carbohydrates and other nutrients, therefore emptying the glucose storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The thing is this: our body needs energy everyday whether we are fasting or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But since the body cannot find and take its energy from the glycogen because no carbs are entering the body, it will automatically produce another form of energy but this time from another source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During fasting, the body will draw its energy from your fat storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When transitioning to a fasting mode, there are many things happening inside of the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And one of these effects is weight loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember I told you that during a fast, your body will draw its energy from your fat storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, each time your body needs energy it will automatically burn fat and convert it into a form of glucose for energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In other words, you’re not taking any calorie but your body is burning calories. Obviously, weight loss happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now let\u2019s get to the meat of the subject. How to start water fasting so you can lose weight fast without exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Prepare Yourself For The Water Fasting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Preparation is key especially if you\u2019re about to do this for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I won\u2019t say going on a water fasting is easy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
By any means, I want to scare you but the first few days can be hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Personally, I\u2019m not an advocate of drastic diets where you have to starve yourself to lose weight. That\u2019s why a few years ago, I chose a medium carb low-fat diet to shed my 41 pounds of excess fats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although it took me 7 months to be where I am today, I prefer that over severely restricting my body from food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can read how to lose weight naturally<\/a> with a clean and healthy eating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But if you\u2019re here, you may be pressed to shed your extra pounds for special reasons and yeah a water fasting can be the solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, you need to prepare yourself mentally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For me, I needed to get ready in my mind because I know that cutting down on food completely for one week would not be an easy ride but not impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make your goal your focus, talk to yourself if needed so you can train your mind to be conscious about what you\u2019re going to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start Gradually<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Each time we start something new, I really believe we should not just jump blindly on the bandwagon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I always say, each person\u2019s metabolism reacts differently to something, be it a diet, a work out program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With that being said, if it\u2019s your first time doing a fast, start gradually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For instance, in the middle of the week, you can do a day of intermittent fasting<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doing this, you will know if you will be able to cope with a full fasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you succeed at that intermittent fasting, this means you have what it takes in terms of willingness to abstain from food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reduce Your Carb Intake Progressively<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Again, switching to a fasting mode should not be abrupt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead, go for a slow, unhurried, and cautious shift to this new stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s say it\u2019s Wednesday and you\u2019ve decided to start your water fasting diet on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What you can do is to start decreasing your carb intake from Wednesday itself or the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can have all your meals but this time in a reduced portion, especially carbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By doing this, your body will get familiarized with less food and you will lower your chances of struggling when in a full fasting mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drink More Water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
During the few years of trying different ways to lose weight, I\u2019ve come to this conclusion: we should never give shocks to our body but instead train it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before you start your water fasting, drink more water. More so if you\u2019re not a water type person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re not used to drinking enough water, how will you live on water only?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What you should do is to get accustomed to the taste of water when you wake up, during the day, before meals, and before going to bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you do this a few days before going into your water fasting, I assure you that you won\u2019t end up brawling with your bottle of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhat You Should Not Do While Water Fasting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
There are a few myths I\u2019ve heard and read about water fasting and since I\u2019ve done it and got awesome results, I think I\u2019m in a position of addressing these fallacies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t Stay In Bed All Day<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
This one I\u2019ve heard a million times: when you fast, you should rest and not do anything otherwise you will collapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, for some people with health issues or disorders, this might be true to some point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re a healthy person and you\u2019re on a water fasting, I recommend that you stay active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s totally fine to exercise during a water fasting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a matter of fact, health experts recommend exercises during a fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our body is like a machine. As long as we keep it moving, we\u2019re good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, when you will be water fasting, don\u2019t be afraid to do light exercises to keep your system in good shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s true that the first days can be a little hectic if you\u2019ve never done a full fasting but as you\u2019re getting used to it, start with some simple exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m not telling you to go and lift weights though! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are some exercises that require just a little energy that you can do during your fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please don\u2019t stay in bed all day, drinking water…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do Not Force Anything<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
As I said, if you\u2019re not used to fasting, the first two days can be hard because your body is now into something it has never experienced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And consequently, you might get a bit weak, dizzy or super hungry…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just because it\u2019s a water fasting diet does not mean you\u2019re not allowed to have other drinks during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your goal is to quit food for a while. But if you hear your stomach crying for help, give it something else and don\u2019t feel guilty about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For e.x, when you wake up, take your first glass of water and then after an hour allow yourself a cup of tea or coffee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
