Fasting is not about hunger, and it is certainly not about starving. Fasting is about changing your life so that you can do more with less time. Fasting is about supercharging your body's regeneration systems and looking younger. It's about altering your mind and charting a course forward that results in the ability to convert your newfound discipline and clarity. You may look to fasting for the purpose of losing weight, but you are going to get a lot more. If you are overweight, then your body is telling you something. It is telling you that your body is in distress. It is overworking and it is not burning as much as it should. You need to take heed to its warning. You need to reverse the damage that is being inflicted on the body because of poor nutritional decisions. This book shows you the benefits that you can expect and plots a day to day, play by play of what to do and what to expect when you do a full fast and just get by on water alone. What's more important than the fasting days, and how many you can do, is the pre-fast preparation and the post fast return to food. This book meticulously guides you from one step to the next in preparing days before you fast so that you get the most benefit from it, and it shows you how to break fast so that you don't stress your digestive system after days of fasting.

In the olden days, people ate early because there was hardly any light after sunset. Their next meal would only be after sunrise. This practice spread to all religions as a discipline due to its health and spiritual benefits. Today, it is called the dry fasting diet-the most superior form of fasting and cleansing. Replicating it requires abstinence from all food and water for twelve or more hours. Luke Coutinho and Sheikh Abdul Aziz Nuaimi teach us how this diet can stimulate the body, help one find the right balance between the 'elimination phase' and the 'building phase', aid weight loss and avoid a number of diseases. From beauty to general well-being, discover the miracle of dry fasting and the route to a new you.

In this newly revised best-seller, known to millions as the "bible of fasting" Health pioneers and researchers Paul Bragg and Patricia Bragg teach why this ancient practice is key to health and energy, and critical to longevity and ageless vitality, due to our toxic environment and the stress of our daily lives. They share a detailed, step-by-step approach, accessible and informative for both beginners and experienced fasters. Our bodies must process not only our food and water, but the air we breathe, and whatever chemicals they may contain. Since detoxification and digestion take more energy than even strenuous athletic pursuits, fasting allows the mind and body to rest, renew and regenerate, to come into harmony and balance, and release the effects of stimulating foods like caffeine and sugars. The goal of fasting, say the authors, is to allow for the mind and body to self-heal. This concise, tightly edited "Miracle of Fasting" is filled with personal stories of Paul Bragg's travels around the world, including a fasting journey in India with Mahatma Gandhi.
