Supervise Prolonged Water-Only Fasts
- Consider medically supervised water-only fasting for prolonged fasts up to 40 days, taken only under professional care.
- Define prolonged water-only fasting as consuming only pure water while resting to preserve lean tissue.
Fasting Targets Visceral Fat Rapidly
- Average weight loss during prolonged fasting is about one pound per day, from fat, water, glycogen, protein, and fiber.
- Water-only fasting is especially effective at mobilizing visceral fat that surrounds organs.
Fat Stores And Releases Many Toxins
- Fat tissue stores hundreds of environmental contaminants including PCBs, dioxin, pesticides, and heavy metals.
- During fasting the body mobilizes and largely eliminates many toxins, with urine as a major excretion route.
