MYTH…

Fasting helps rid the body of toxins.
A fast may give you the perception of “cleaning out” your body’s impurities but there is no scientific evidence that this is true. Our bodies are pretty self-sufficient.  We have out own “detox” system that filters out harmful products on a daily basis.  You don’t need to deprive your body of food to make this happen.

Nor will fasting keep weight off.  The promise of losing “8 pounds overnight” may be alluring, but this is water weight, not fat, and it likely will be regained just as quickly.  Remember:  easy off, easy on.  Plus, long-term fasting could be risky!  The best “detox” is to drink plenty of water!!!!
