Medical Opinion
 

 


These excerpts come down clearly in favour of fasting, as you would expect from our interest in the subject.

It is also true that there are other physicians and dieticians who either see no real benefits to be derived from fasting or, see it simply as another passing 'fad diet'.

The Jejuno Approach

At Jejuno™, we take the view that one should not embark upon a juice-fast with the ultimate goal of losing weight; weight loss during a juice-fast is usually a natural consequence of the fast, but should not be the reason one embarks upon one.

It is now widely held that the key to losing weight and maintaining that weight loss over the longer term, is a combination of altered eating habits and increased physical exercise. From our own experience with juice-fasting, we believe that the process inculcates an appreciation for the profound effects that diet can have upon the body. As a result, one emerges from a fast not only enriched and invigorated by the experience, but also with a changed attitude towards previous ' less healthy' eating habits.
