What Is Fasting?
It seems like everyone has heard of fasting, or may have even done so for spiritual
reasons, but is it possible that there are benefits beyond this? And what is fasting, really?
Unger’s Bible Dictionary explains that the word fast in the Bible is from the Hebrew
word sum, meaning “to cover” the mouth, or from the Greek word nesteuo , meaning “to
abstain.”
If we put it simply, fasting is the act where we abstain from food and drink, typically
done for religious or deeply spiritual reasons (Esther 4:16).
Why do we fast?
In this book, we’ll dive into a totally new way of fasting not just for your spiritual
health but for your physical health too – it’s a critical part of your body’s reset that will
show you a whole new way of living and eating!
As it turns out when you eat can be
more important than what you eat.
Fasting is typically used for short
periods of time, but here, instead, we’ll
introduce you to a way to bring fasting
into your daily life – you can literally
do this every single day, and reap the
health and spiritual benefits, for the
rest of your life.

A New Way Of Eating
Now that you know what fasting
is, and why we do it, it’s time to
move into how you can start
fasting in a completely new way
– a way that would allow you to
practice it every single day.
Think about how you could
change your relationship with
food and hunger if you fasted
daily.
What I’m about to share with you, is new way of eating – one that will reward you with
weight loss benefits, but which will also help you become more clear-headed and
mindful, and which will clear your relationship with bad foods.
The truth is, new research suggests fasting is really good for you in general, and it’s
especially good for fat loss. And while traditional religious fasting lasts for days at a
time, with nothing, or very little to eat, what we’re proposing here is different: it’s called
intermittent fasting a practice that you could literally do every single day of your life.
It’s simple – eat as much as you want of all the plentiful foods, such as fruits and
vegetables and unprocessed goodness, but the key is to only do so within a 8-hour
window. For example, if you had breakfast at noon, you can have any amount of the
allowed foods until 8 PM that evening, and then you can’t eat again until noon the next
day.

EAT FOR 8 SRAIGHTS
When the 8-hour window starts and stops is up to you.
The great part is sleeping is included in the 16-hour fasting time. The only thing you can
consume during the fasting period is water and unsweetened tea or coffee.
It’s really important to note that you should absolutely try to limit all processed and
sugary foods during your 8-hour window. We know that sometimes though, this just
isn’t possible. We are all human right?! It’s ok to cheat every once in a while if you want
that muffin or slice of pizza, but remember that long term weight loss comes from
nourishing your body with nutrients and natural food.
Don’t Forget The Water
During this fasting period, the time
outside of your 8-hour eating period,
you’ll need to drink a lot of water – at
least two liters per day. Here’s why...
there are many metabolites that build
from fat mobilization and have to be
eliminated from the body.
