I am on day 24 of a Master Cleanse fast... I hope you have not been trying to water fast! Actually I think for weight loss juice is great. There is lots of info on the net.
It sounds to me like everything is out of balance with you. You could undoubtedly do with a good cleansing program of some time, before attempting anything else. I would recommend you talk to a qualified natural health professional about your goals, and work out a program you can live with.
For me fasting is therapeutic, for cleansing and detoxing. If you are food crazy, your body is screaming at you for weird food, undoubtedly you are unbalanced and full of garbage. You need to take out the garbage!
Weight loss will follow.
And of course we all know, sensible diet, exercise and enough rest.
You can take control! As far as fasting, the first week is the hardest, and on juice or the
Master-Cleanse there is hardly a problem unless you are very toxic before you start. Again, I would talk to someone qualifed!
My naturopath (also an iridologist, which means she can see in your eyes the condition of internal organs) tells me that with a dirty colon, nothing works right. Particularly, in my case, the gallbladder and pancreas,which of course regulate fat, insulin and WEIGHT.
I am two years along, cleansing, and still have more to go. It has been very worthwhile!
Good luck to you!
