Re: How many refeeding days?

Hello WaterFastSix,
how best to lose weight?

You are best to undertake a juice-fast as opposed to a water-only fast for weightloss and for these reasons......
A water-only fast will conserve food reserves as the body belives it has to do this in the prevention of eventual starvation. It is not uncommon for many fasters to have their weight stagnate or remain the same for days for that reason. Many have reported this on this forum.

However, on a juice fast (feast) the body will lose more weight and more quickly because of calorie-restriction and where the body will not try and conserve its food reserves as on a water-only fast.

If you decide to do the WOFast for 2 weeks, and then refeed for one day and repeat, it IS safe, as long as you are careful on the refeeding day as to how and with what you are refeeding; more importantly the QUANTITY of food on that refeeding day needs to be minimal. The stomach will have shrunk, and will not be able to handle normal quantities of food.

IF or Intermittent fasting of say 2 days on and 2 days off is also a very safe and successful method for weightloss.
There are loads of ref's to IF on the Web and where this is just one of them.......................
