Lose New Year's Resolution?

Don't rush things and plan well so you don't give up prematurely.

Just in time for the turn of the year, many Germans are making New Year's resolutions again.

Fasting with low-carb recipes can help to reset the body, especially after the holidays.

Therapeutic fasting is healthy and can help you find your way back to a healthier life.

Purifying soups such as the "Emily in Paris" leek soup, the green goddess soup or the tomato detox soup also help to shed the pounds again.

But there are also many unhealthy, complicated and outdated approaches.

The result: a high potential for frustration and termination or even health risks.

Two doctors know how to do it properly: Prof. Andreas Michalsen, leading fasting expert in Europe and doctor at the Charité and Dr.

Nicolas Gros, Founder and CEO of Salufast, a science-based fasting program.

1. Expert tip to lose weight healthily and permanently: Please do not go hungry

A typical fasting myth is that the less and more liquid the food, the better.

"Not true," explains Dr.

“Not eating only leads to unpleasant side effects such as abdominal pain, headaches and poor circulation.

On the contrary: an unnecessary calorie restriction leads to avoidable protein breakdown and digestive disorders,” explains the expert.

Eating is even more beneficial for fasting and the body.

In addition to the right amount of calories, it is important that the food is as plant-based and nutritious as possible and does not contain any additives.

Fasting is not the same as starving!

Small, healthy snacks in between help you lose weight when you have ravenous hunger pangs and you would like to grab chocolate or something similar.

2. Expert tip to lose weight healthily and permanently: Self-mortification is not a solution either

Many associate fasting with renunciation and suffering – but that doesn’t have to be the case!

"The beloved coffee, for example, is absolutely fine in moderation - and even supports important effects," emphasizes the doctor.

Purging, which has long been considered an important part of fasting, isn't necessary either.

Fasting traditions, behind which there is a lot of self-torture and hurdles, should definitely be questioned and, if in doubt, seek advice from experts.

3. Expert tip to lose weight healthily and permanently: Be careful with juice cleanses and trendy diets

Pineapple, cabbage soup, juices - there are many cures that promise miracles.

However, these are usually based on an extremely one-sided diet, which can upset the stomach.

They are low in nutrients, overly acidic, sometimes contain a lot of fructose and are not balanced in terms of nutrients: everything that a goal-oriented fasting cure should not be.

It's important to pay attention to the delicate microbiome that affects the immune system and metabolism while fasting.

4th expert tip to lose weight healthily and permanently: Sport in moderation can be helpful

Anyone who does not starve unnecessarily when fasting and instead uses essential nutrients will also have energy for sport during the fasting cure.

Exercise is an important part of fasting clinics and also helps with fasting results.

Nevertheless, it is of course important to know your own limits and to listen to your body.

5. Expert tip to lose weight healthily and permanently: Structure helps you persevere!

Ideally, those who are interested should get professional support, for example in the form of an accompanied, well-founded program.

There are also various apps that guide you through the fasting week with specific daily tasks, a fasting log, videos and guides.

According to the experts, a fasting plan that relieves you of the planning and in which health-promoting applications are organized is essential.

Caution: It is better not to reheat these foods

Fasting is about doing something good for the body.

It is important for the psyche to set realistic goals and to think long-term.

A fasting week is a suitable milestone as a “reset”.

According to the experts, fasting people can lose three kilos, or one BMI point, in a week.

“These successes motivate – without life coming to a complete standstill.

The fasting week can mark the start of a healthier life, for example with a healthier diet and more exercise,” explains Prof. Michalsen.
