Für viele Menschen — insbesondere für Frauen — erscheint der vollständige oder teilweise Verzicht auf feste Nahrung als die wirksamste und schnellste Methode, um Gewicht zu reduzieren, ohne zu bedenken, dass es sich dabei um eine der extremsten Ernährungsstrategien handelt. Diese Praxis basiert auf der Annahme, dass eine auf Flüssigkeiten beschränkte Ernährung — wie Wasser, Kräutertees oder Gemüsesäfte — den Körper von angesammelten Schadstoffen tiefgreifend reinigt und dem Verdauungstrakt durch die vorübergehende Reduzierung der Verdauungslast Erholung ermöglicht. Doch wie reagieren unter diesen Bedingungen andere Organsysteme — Leber, Nieren, Gehirn oder Muskeln —, die essentielle Nährstoffe entbehren müssen? Führt eine solche Vorgehensweise tatsächlich zu physiologischen Vorteilen oder birgt sie möglicherweise unerwünschte Risiken, besonders bei langfristiger Anwendung?
It's a healing hunger strike
A hunger strike should be used for health purposes. In diseases such as asthma or obesity. The most popular one is a 10 to 14 day hungers strike. It's commonly said that hunger strikes last this long because it's only after about six days that our body activates its immune system. But drinking water or juice alone is not enough. People who decide on a hunger diet need to know that even before they go on a diet, we need to prepare their body. We need to do this gradually: first, reduce meat, sweets and fat.
It's a cleansing dishwasher
We use a cleansing fever to get rid of harmful toxins from our bodies. The effects of this fever will not be as visible to us as they are felt on the first day. Our well-being will improve and we will feel slightly better. A cleanse fever, lasting for one to two days, is indicated if we have problems with insomnia, headaches and even skin pain. After our cleanse treatment, we should slowly return to our diet to get used to it again.
It's a weight-loss snack
This type of diet should help us lose extra pounds, but how does this diet actually work? It's not recommended by dietitians because while it cleanses the body, it can have a negative effect on the kidneys and liver. It also leads to general weakness and irritation.
The effect of starvation
The effects of starvation are different and depend on the purpose for which we use it. However, if it is indicated for medicinal purposes, we need to remember that we have to switch to this diet gradually in order for our body to get used to it. A starvation cleansing diet, which should last for a maximum of two days, will help get rid of toxins from the body and make us feel like we're newborn. So if we use a weight loss diet, it can have the opposite effect. It can cause us to eat a lot more after a few days of exercise than we normally do.
