We have been emphasizing the natural treatment of diabetes and obesity-related diseases as a very important future research direction, and this concept is not unique to us, nor is it a modern treatment. This reaffirmation and focus on natural natural healing came about as a result of our team’s work on food restriction. Three years ago, we led my team in a series of studies on “food restriction and health” based on Professor Qin Jian’s initial experiments, and now, three years later, food restriction has been supported and tried by more experts and people, and our human and animal studies have produced a series of exciting results. At the same time, foreign ideas and books on food restriction therapy are constantly being cited by the Chinese, one of which is light fasting, which is popular in the West. Light fasting is not a hunger strike, but a way to eat appropriately and return to your most natural way of life. By letting go of your attachment to food and everything else, you will naturally lose weight and gain freedom of mind. What is light fasting? Light fasting is a scientific way to lose weight, eating normally 5 days a week and reducing your diet 2 days (eating about a quarter of your usual amount) to allow your body to return to its most natural state and achieve the goal of losing weight. This way of slimming is easy and scientific, and since its rise in the UK in 2012, it has quickly taken the world by storm and is the first to become popular in celebrity circles. Big S, Zhang Ziyi, Yang Mi, Yao Chen, Le Jia, Cai Lan, Zhang Defen, Beyonce, Rolling Stone, Jennifer Lopez, Spice Girls Victoria, Paris Hilton …… many celebrities have publicly stated that they are light fasting. Is light fasting healthy? The secret of light fasting was once widely circulated among Buddhist monks and yoga practitioners. For 2,500 years, the secret of fasting has been ignored. In an interview with the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph, Dr. Mosley, author of “Light Fasting,” said, “Many religions have traditions of fasting, the Buddhist practice of fasting, the Christian and Islamic fasting …… Almost all religions promote proper fasting, but medicine warns us: don’t easily skip which meal to skip, and to eat less and more. But why did the high priests who followed the commandment of fasting not lose weight and rebound in this way? –That is Dr. Mosley’s biggest question. Michael? Dr. Mosley decided to look to the 2,500-year tradition of fasting for answers. He visited the most cutting-edge scientists, rooted into the ancient religion of fasting, and boldly experimented with himself, combining thousands of years of conservative fasting experience with contemporary science, finally inventing a new weight loss method for modern people: light fasting. Based on experimental evidence and personal experience, Dr. Mosley finally gave the program of the light fasting diet plan: pick 2 non-consecutive days in a week, control the diet to 25% of the usual portion and skip lunch for light fasting; and the remaining 5 days have no restrictions. How much can I lose with light fasting? Within 24 hours of light fasting, your weight will change and your body will feel lighter and freer. What are the other benefits of Light Fasting? Losing weight and losing weight is only the first step. Light Fasting is a natural state of eating that transforms your mind and body to be at their best. Ultimately, it affects the way you view food and even other things, allowing you to let go of cravings from the heart and naturally become lean, energetic, and gain a sense of spiritual liberation and freedom. How do you eat the 5 days outside of light fasting each week? Eat whatever you want. Although counter-intuitive, there really are no restrictions. Fries, cookies, cake, whatever you like. I’m already thin, can I fast? Many proponents and researchers of light fasting do not need to lose weight, but they continue to light fast. Like monks, light fasting is just a way of life. You just need to be careful not to let your weight drop dramatically, and you can eat a little more if you want. Light fasting is more of a medicine for the mind “To lose weight in the body, you have to lighten the load on the mind.” Think about it, why do you really eat? Is it because you are hungry? Or is it because of cravings? Light fasting tells you that most of the time we eat because of emptiness. Sometimes it’s just because we see a piece of cake and think we should eat it. In the long run, the habit developed is to possess the food, not to experience hunger, and feed yourself into a fat person. For light fasting, the New York Times in the United States said, “Far from just making you thin, you gain freedom of mind”. Here are the 10 spiritual secrets of light fasting. From the root of the mind, to help you reconnect with your body and food, so you can lose weight naturally. 1, fill your days, not your belly People always find things to do between meals. Finding things to do is the meaning of life, eating is not. Look at our lives, the snack store on the corner, fast food in the supermarket, drinks in the refrigerator, we are eating all the time. Thus, we have become what virtues? 2, love food Why are you unsuccessful in losing weight? Do you hate those ice cream, desserts, fried food that you thought made you fat? Food is not magic, not a supernatural power, they are not dangerous, please look at it with a normal heart. Food is a friend, not an enemy. What needs to be controlled is really just your own greed for food 3. It’s just a return to nature Human beings completed their evolution in the age of having a meal and not having a meal. Therefore, to bring out the best energy in the human body, you just need to return your diet to that era. That’s the idea of light fasting, and it’s easy because it’s exactly what your body craves. Don’t be afraid to starve yourself, you won’t actually starve to death. 4. Also related to faith For 2500 years, Buddhist monks and yoga practitioners have fasted, as have Christians, Muslims and Orthodox Christians. Light fasting is far more than just for weight loss.

Stop for a moment, stop eating, and you will find that light fasting brings you joy and courage and spiritual satisfaction. 5, pamper your body and mind Binge eating is never about loving yourself, but only about filling the void. Think about it, when you eat, do you really eat because you are hungry? Are you really eating that cake because it’s too good to refuse? Most of the time we just crave, we just crave. Giving up food for light fasting once in a while is the only way to really give your body and mind ease and pamper yourself. 6, think more, stop more Eat as soon as you get hungry, or even rush to eat a meal when you are about to get hungry, so modern people hardly feel hungry anymore.
