Preparing for Buchinger fasting – how to get started

🧘Reduce stress and appointments
The key to success
Why is preparation so important?
Switching from your usual diet to fasting is a change for your body. Moving to light food a few days before relieves digestion and reduces headaches, tiredness or cravings (more).
Preparation is also an invitation to slow down. How the week unfolds: the fasting week.
Many report after a few days …
- more lightness
- better body awareness
- mental clarity
- deep relaxation
