CBA to google it explain 😀

Its just drinking fruit and vegetable juice and water only. No solid foods consumed, it’s pretty extreme but it can be done with a little dedication and self-discipline! Its juice because juice has alot of vitamins and antioxidants, its really good for you and cleans your body out COMPLETELY.

I did one about a year ago to get ready for soccer pre-season. It felt ah mazing afterwards especially with some stretching and excersice, OMG! 😉

I don’t agree with these no solids diet’s or fasting, there’s no proof to say it’s of any benefit to you or your health afaik. Eating healthy food (what your body was designed to eat in the first place!) is a much more sensible idea. It can cause more damage then good from restricting your body from getting the things it needs (protein, a good amount of carbs that are low gi, veg etc etc).

The only studies i can find that say it’s good for you to fast are from America and they don’t specify that the subjects are already eating healthily, as a fast from mac d’s every day imo would be a good thing, and probably shows up in test results as such.

Well yeah, this isn’t a long term thing! Just for about 5 days until you have everything cleaned out of your system, it’s way easier to eat healthy when you’re starting with a clean slate…
50% protein 25% starch 25% veg/fruit usually is the best, for me anyways, lean meats though (turkey, chicken, fish) which is what I like anyways so it works out! I hate red meat ewwwyyy

hahaha america’s obese, there’s a documentary on a guy who ate mcdonalds EVERY MEAL, EVERY DAY for 30 days straight. He started off a thin rail and ended up HUGE, risking a huge part of his health, that’s what the stuff does to you..yikes

Yeah, sorry lol same thing just americanized

Normally you don’t wanna eat more protein then carbs (weight by weight) as you can’t process it without carbs. Bodybuilders will normally have a MAX of 50/50 mix of carbs to protein (with veg etc added on) anywhere from 75%-50% carbs is about normal, a few do go crazy with protein but unless you are really “pumping iron” you’ll not need that much at all and it’s debatable if they are getting it right.

Like you say though it’s what works best for you really, everyone’s bodies are different. I’m just going on what is generally said to be “good form” for food intake of active people.

carbs are less forgiving then protein if you over eat them as carbs will turn to fat to be stored more readily then protein will, it’s all about balancing exercise with your healthy diet to get the maximum healthyness possible. You should eat what you need and exercise to suit, not the other way round (although you will need to eat more the more exercise you do you don’t want to start cutting food drastically to loose weight, but instead do more exercise eating the same amount if possable.)

I’ve found it’s more the type and intensity of the exercise you do rather then what you eat that makes the biggest difference. If you can raise your metabolism high enough through certain types of exercise then you can pretty much eat as much as you like and have a very low body fat ratio. You can even eat junk food a few times a week if you really want and it’ll just get burnt off, providing you got the exercise optimal for fat burning.

Look into the after-burn effect and hiit, these are both a place to start looking for the best ways of exercising to reduce body fat without having to worry so much on eating less (enfact you may well eat more if you do it at high intensity and still loose weight!)
