Weight Loss by Fasting
Excerpt from “How and When to be Your Own Doctor”

Loss of weight indicates, almost guarantees, that detoxification and healingis occurring. I can’t stress this too much. Of all the things I find my patients‍seem to misunderstand or forget after being told, it is that they can’t heal ina rapid manner without getting smaller. This reality is especially hard for the‍family and friends of someone who is fasting, who will say, ‘you’re lookingterrible dear, so thin. Your skin is hanging on your bones. You’re not eating‍enough protein or nutrient food to be healthy and you must eat more oryou’re going to develop serious deficiencies. You don’t have any energy,‍you must be getting sicker. You’re doing the wrong thing, obviously. Youhave less energy and look worse every day. Go and see a doctor before it‍is too late.’ To succeed with friends like this, a faster has to be a mightyself-determined person with a powerful ability to disagree with others.

Medical personnel claim that rapid weight loss often causes dangerous‍deficiencies; these deficiencies force the person to overeat and regain evenmore weight afterward. This is largely untrue, though there is one true‍aspect to it: a fasted, detoxified body becomes a much more efficientdigester and assimilator, extracting a lot more nutrition from the same‍amount food is used to eat. If, after extended fasting a person returns toeating the same number of calories as they did before; they will gain weight‍even more rapidly than before they stated fasting.

When fasting for weight loss, the only way to keep the weight off is togreatly reform the diet; to go on, and stay on, a diet made up largely of nonstarchy,‍watery fruits and vegetables, limited quantities of cooked food, andvery limited amounts of highly concentrated food sources like cereals and‍cooked legumes. Unless, of course, after fasting, one’s lifestyle involvesmuch very hard physical labor or exercise. I’ve had a few obese fasters‍become quite angry with me for this reason; they hoped to get thin throughfasting and after the fast, to resume overeating with complete‍irresponsibility as before, without weight gain.

People also fear weight loss during fasting because they fear becominganorexic or bulimic. They won’t! A person who abstains from eating for the‍purpose of improving their health, in order to prevent or treat illness, orhttp://www.healthrecipes.com/juicer_ebook.htm‍even one who fasts for weight loss will not develop an eating disorder.

Eating disorders mean eating compulsively because of a distorted bodyimage. Anorexics and bulimics have obsessions with the thinner-is-better‍school of thought. The anorexic looks at their emaciated frame in the mirrorand thinks they are fat! This is the distorted perception of a very insecure‍person badly in need of therapy. A bulimic, on the other hand stuffsthemselves, usually with bad food, and then purges it by vomiting, or with‍laxatives. Anorexics and bulimics are not accelerating the healing potentialof their bodies; these are life threatening conditions. Fasters are genuinely‍trying to enhance their survival potential.

Occasionally a neurotic individual with a pre-existing eating disorder willbecome obsessed with fasting and colon cleansing as a justification to‍legitimize their compulsion. During my career while monitoring hundreds offasters, I’ve known two of these. I discourage them from fasting or colon‍cleansing, and refuse to assist them, because they carry the practices toabsurd extremes, and contribute to bad press about natural medicine by‍ending up in the emergency ward of a hospital with an intravenous feedingtube in their arm.‍
