Fasting And Weight Loss

How much weight will I lose with your program?... is a question we are often asked. The average weight loss on our fasting detoxification program is between one and two pounds a day. Some people will lose more, some less. Unfortunately it seems that the ones who most desperately wants too lose weight, who have tried all sorts of different programs, are the ones for whom it is most difficult to get rid of the extra kilos. Your body is extremely intelligent, and if you have tried one or more of the starvation programs, your body has learned to survive on a minimum, and when deprived of food, will go into a survival mode and it is more difficult to lose weight. If you pay attention to the diet industry, you probably hear how simple it is to lose weight. If you just follow a diet, take a pill, use a patch... the weight will simply melt away. We are contiguously presented with all sort of miracle offers. Obviously, it isn't that easy or we'd all be in great shape. See also: Losing weight safely Some of these fads can also be dangerous. They may seem to work for a while, but then the weight comes back on. The fundamental fallacy of all fad diets, like the Atkins diet or the Zone diet, is the idea that somehow carbohydrate calories are different from fat and protein calories. This is scientific foolishness. Every calorie you eat contributes equally to your eventual weight, whether it comes from carbohydrate, fat, or protein. Check out: Protecting yourself against Health Frauds To the extent these diets work at all, they do so because they obey the second law. By reducing calories in, they reduce fat. Unfortunately, losing weight isn't that simple, as anyone who has seriously tried already knows. Besides counting calories is about as outdated as the concept that the sun revolves around the earth. The problem is that your body will not cooperate. If you try to lose weight by exercising and eating less, your body will attempt to compensate by metabolizing more efficiently. It has a fixed weight, what obesity researchers call a "set point," a weight to which it will keep trying to return. The programs at Moinhos Velhos were not created primarily to lose weight. Our Juice Fasting Programs with Yoga, Meditation and Holistic Therapies are for detoxification and purification of Body, Mind and Spirit. We can not guarantee how much weight you will lose,but we can guarantee that you will get rid of a lot of accumulated toxins and mucus.

Samples of the deposits in your intestines that you will permanently lose. You can get rid of many pounds of these toxic accumulations.
