If you do searches on fasting there are lots of great sites out there with rafts of information and stories of people fasting for 20, 30 or 50 days.

Which is brilliant and people report all kinds of miracles through fasting – cancer cures, stomach ulcers and depression.

If you’re new to fasting, which I was a year ago, it can all be a little daunting! So take it easy – take it a day at a time – lots of small changes make big ones. By getting to grips with the basics, you can build up over time and take on bigger challenges when the time is right.

Did you know that Fasting initiates rapid weight loss with little or no hunger? Most people are surprised at how little desire for food they have while fasting.

Often we mistake hunger with thirst – and very few people drink enough water throughout the day. Fasting not only cleanses the body and clears the mind, it’s actually taught me the difference between being thirsty and hungry!?

Keep it simple! Start off with a basic juice – try apple, carrot and ginger.

Once you’re in the swing of it, try new things, have fun, experiment!

Oh and try to balance your vegetables with juice too – or it can get a little acidic on your poor stomach.
