Develop more conscious eating
After fasting many find it easier to prefer fresh food, eat consciously, enjoy smaller portions and cut sugar and processed food โ an entry to balanced eating (refeeding).
Consciously relieve the body
Many report more lightness, better body feeling, new energy and wellbeing โ individually different. More on effects.
Encourage healthier habits
For many fasting is a conscious restart: less alcohol, nicotine or sweets, more movement and less stress.

Weight loss is a side effect, not the main goal โ but a nice impulse (how much?).
Mental recovery & clarity
Distance, nature and silence make room for new thoughts โ supported by yoga and walks.
