Fattening has long been accepted as an option for weight control or as a method to relieve some health conditions. Some people starve once a week, several days a month, following the lunar diet, others take a longer period of cleansing of the body.
Eating during fasting may include taking only fresh juice, tea, water, and eating fruits, vegetables and nuts.
There are many different ways to cleanse the body, which should always be coordinated with a nutritionist and healthier. What happens in our body when we decide to starve?
Drop in blood sugar levels
In the first hours of gout, drops in blood sugar levels are normal for most people. Your body goes through the regular process of digesting glycogen and storing glucose as a fuel for energy. Normally, about 25% of it goes straight into your brain, while the rest holds red blood cells and muscles.
Ketosis
After 5-6 hours, depending on your blood glucose levels, you will reach the ketosis stage - a metabolic state whereby your energy levels are maintained by ketones in your blood. This is a process of fat decomposition, as broken down fat leads to ketones.
This is the moment when real starvation starts, the condition that targets those of you who want to lose weight.
This condition can also be achieved by following a diet that is based on a diet high in fat and low in carbohydrates.
Purification of cholesterol and uric acid
During the ketosis process, several important things will happen. Your body will release cholesterol and uric acid in the blood that is part of the detoxification process in the body.
During this stage, headache, dizziness, fatigue, skin rashes, muscle aches and joint pain may occur in rare cases. At the end of this stage the pain will decrease and the blood pressure will drop. The process of calcification, cholesterol, will be reduced.
The digestive system is resting
As the intake of food is reduced during the treatment of the dog, the digestive system can rest.
Emotional detoxification
After the first 6 hours of starvation, it is perfectly normal to feel a strong hunger. This in turn can cause some negative emotions such as anger, frustration, sadness. It is crucial to deal with these emotions and to remember the goal of the diet you are following.
Focus on an activity that does not require much physical effort to help you get through these emotions more easily.
