Water fasting is an ancient cleansing method used to heal and detoxify the body. As you fast, your body begins to consume everything within it that isn’t essential to its functionality, entering a similar detoxification cycle to that which is entered when you sleep. Below you will find water fasting before and after pictures, water fasting results pictures, as well as information on how to water fast correctly and most efficiently.

What Does Water Fasting Involve?

Water fasting is the process of consuming only water. As mentioned, water fasting is used to detoxify the body; it may also be practiced for religious reasons and requirements. It is important to remember that prolonged periods of water fasting can lead to serious health implications.

1.     Decide the Duration

Decide how long the water fast will last. This can be anywhere from three to thirty days, although if you are new to water fasting, it is best to start off with short fasts first, to gauge your bodies reaction.

2.     Planning

Decide when to carry out the fast. Try to avoid fasting when it may interrupt your daily routine. Pick a time that is suitable, and that will allow you to avoid any instigators of stress.

3.     Rest

When fasting, you may have feelings of tiredness and loss of stamina. Ensure to rest often and try to not overwork yourself.

4.     Drink Plenty of Water

Ensure to drink at least seven 8 oz. glasses of water each day.  This can be spring bottled water, or tap water.

Notes and Tips:

• Alternate Between Juice and Water Fast

If you wish to fast for an extended period of time, replacing water with juice is a great way to ensure your body is being delivered essential nutrients during the fast.

• Break Up the Fast with the Right Food

If you feel the undying urge to eat solid food, ensure to break your fast only with easily digestible foods. This means the avoidance of processed foods in favor of fruits and vegetables.

• Avoid Intense Exercise

Heavy exercise is best avoided during the fasting process. Light forms of restorative yoga may be practiced instead, or light walks. Light exercise will help with the overall detoxification process, as well as help to build strength.

• Prepare Your Body

Preparation is key to any successful task, including fasting. The best thing you can do is ensure to each a fruit and vegetable based diet for three days before the fast begins. This will help to reduce any of the nasty side effects (such as fatigue) that may ensue once you begin fasting.

Water Fasting Before and After Pictures

“After fasting for almost a month, the changes I notice were incredible. The first and most impressive physical change I spotted was the brightness within my eyes, which lead to many compliments on a daily basis, as well as a decreased sensitivity to sunlight. I also managed to shed a lot of unwanted pounds during my fast, and I feel as though my body has been sufficiently cleansed. My skin feels incredibly smooth, and some scars have slightly dissipated. My hair feels far healthier than it did before fasting, and my teeth appear much whiter than they once did. Both my hair, and my teeth, feel stronger thanks to water fasting. I have also noticed a lack of body odor. I refrain from washing with soap, yet produce little odor. I’ve also notices increased proficiency in bowel functionality.

I am yet to recover all of my strength, but my energy levels feel spiked, and I feel no hindrance on the level of activity I am able to exert. I wake up feeling refreshed and extremely positive. Overall, I feel more comfortable with my physical appearance after the fast, especially my skin and eyes. I also feel more confident, energized, and happy overall”.

The above information is the experience of someone who’s seen great results, but not everyone is the same. Here are more water fasting before and after pictures and the advice they have.

Results from four days of water fasting, using the day on day off method. This allows you to fast for one day, and eat a small meal (such as vegetables), the next day. To me, this is better than pure fasting.

 Tips and Precautions for A Successful Water Fasting

1.     Know What to Do with Your Time

A lot of time is used up by cooking, eating, and cleaning up food. To ensure a successful fasting, ensure to use that time productively; start a new hobby, try yoga, reconnect with old family members and friends, or go for light walks.

2.     Find Support

Support from friends and family members can help you with your fast. There are also many dedicated forums and communities online that can offer you support, guidance, and advice.

3.     For Those Weak Moments

Try to subdue any negative thoughts telling you that you need food, and leading you towards quitting. Just remember that a small amount of food during a water fast will not ruin the whole process.

4.     Deal with Dizziness

If you ever feel dizzy during your fast, try to sit down as quickly as possible. This is due to the possibility of fainting (which will likely happen after intense feelings of dizziness). Fainting can cause injury when you fall, so is best avoided.
