Fasting without going hungry: how the Wacker method works, who it suits and what it can do for you โ with a quiz and myth check.
Alkaline fasting is a way of fasting where you donโt go hungry: you eat only alkaline foods such as vegetables, fruit, herbs and sprouts and leave out acid-forming foods for a while.
You leave out meat, grains, dairy, sugar, coffee and alcohol. Thatโs why it is often called a gentle โdetox cureโ โ it can also help you lose a few kilos and reset your eating habits. Our alkaline food list shows exactly what you can eat.
It was developed by naturopath Sabine Wacker. Four pillars keep your metabolism active:
Vegetables become the main course โ fresh, varied and filling.
Still water and herbal tea โ more in Drinking during alkaline fasting.
Walks, hiking, yoga โ right on our doorstep in the Ore Mountains.
