We live in a world that often tells us more is better. Fasting for weight loss, fitness and health may be good for the holy - some may say. But the common perception appears to be that hunger - real or imagined - must be appeased at all times and without question.

And with the growth of technology, microwave goods and instant everything - taking the road-less-traveled of fasting for weight loss & improved health is not the most popular course of action. Live to eat even if it kills you later. I want it all and I want it now.
The relentless and insane compulsion for immediate gratification, as it relates to food and eating, is leading millions to an early grave like blind lambs to an unforgiving (and self-inflicted) slaughterhouse"".
Fasting for weight loss - or ANY change requiring sacrifice - is the last thing on their minds. At least until illness strikes. Then, in panic, many run to hospitals and demand a cure. The almighty doctor, some believe, is the solution to the obesity problem.
Personal responsibility - rather than embraced by taking action to prevent disease and improve life quality - is bypassed in favor of pills, surgeries and countless other unnecessary procedures. Treat my symptoms, but don't ask me to change my ways...
Don't ask me to be responsible for my own life. Don't confront me about my laziness and unwillingness to go through discomfort or change to get better. Just fix me and send me home. Oh, and hurry - dinner's awaitin'!
Food has become a drug addiction just as destructive as cigarettes, alcohol, cocaine and heroin. Like the last days of the Roman Empire, excess is taking its victims in a carnage of obesity and food debauchery.
In a perfectly legal fashion, the drug food is claiming victims by the millions - many being oblivious (or indifferent) to the fact that they are killing themselves; one bite at a time.
- A way out
But there is a way out, and it is not just a diet. The most important part of the solution is this: You must become fed up with living the way that you have.
You must become willing to move away from your comfort zone and, instead, face the unknown and take responsibility for your health and wellness.
There isn't a permanent way out if you're not willing to step forward. So, here are the options:
You can stay in what is familiar and continue to produce the same adverse results, or you can decide that you are going to lose weight once and for all and improve your health. What is it going to be?
I started fitness through fasting because fasting saved my life and I want others to receive the same benefits. Fasting for weight loss (via juice, fruit and water fasts) is, without a doubt, one of the best preventive cures that one can practice.
Fasting for weight loss and fitness helps the body RID itself of disease-causing toxins that accumulate in the bloodstream, fat deposits and digestive system from the food we eat, air we breathe and water we drink.
Fasting also increases mental clarity, relieves depression and gives the person a powerful window of opportunity to make permanent eating-habit changes.
Fasting for weight loss and fitness opens doors to insight and spiritual understanding that does not surface while one is constantly gorging on cheeseburgers and French fries.
By fasting for weight loss, one gives the body time to rest from the constant process of digestion so it can divert its resources to healing and detoxification.
An eating vacation can renew a person's entire being and provide a fresh and dynamic perspective in every aspect of life.
This is not an exaggeration, by the way. It is my hope that through the articles presented in this site, you too will give fasting for weight loss a chance and receive the gift of life that it has given me and countless others.
- The ugly fact is this: Food truly can kill.

- A plague with epidemic proportions
Particularly in the U.S., obesity has become epidemic ; a true plague. The U.S., to some extent, has become what I have come to call the anti-prevention nation.
Here is the alarming scenario: Millions - young and old - are swarming to hospitals seeking to be cured. Unfortunately, many of them do little (if anything) to prevent illness from surfacing in the first place.
They allow themselves to become obese, toxic and sick but don't take action to get better. They are constantly visiting the doctor in search of the magic pill while continuing to succumb to binging, sloth, apathy and despair.
Now this isn't to say that all medications are bad and worthless. This website is not dedicated to talking about the evils of medicine as some may choose to do.
Medicine can be great and I myself have been helped by it during my path of recovery from liver illness and chronic depression.
What I am talking about is the short-sightedness of relying only on doctors and medicine to address our personal health. Not wanting to assume personal responsibility; not being willing to do everything within my grasp to improve and enhance my health.
As I said before, the problem usually is that many just do not want to assume this responsibility. And so, obesity and toxicity continue to produce a rabid harvest of sicknesses including diabetes, cancer, hypertension, heart disease and strokes (among others).
Ultimately, if left unchecked, obesity and toxicity can lead one to pay the ultimate price: DEATH.
Fasting for weight loss is a mighty weapon that, if practiced as a lifestyle, can help stop disease before it has a chance to even start.
