    Thousands of books have been written about the latest and greatest diets that will help people lose weight and improve health. But a key element in any successful nutritional health program is a tried-and-true method that most people haven’t thought about - yet it could be revolutionary for taking health to the next level. This ancient secret is fasting: The fastest way to extreme breakthrough. Why fast? Because fasting builds extreme faith, and believers need extreme faith to overcome the impossible. Nevertheless, if not handled appropriately, fasting could, in some cases, produce adverse effects with some people. It is not a panacea and there could be risks involved. Fasting, they’d have told you, is a great way to lose weight. It makes sense: eat fewer calories a couple of days a week, and don’t overeat on the others, and you’ll slim down. What’s less clear is the assumption that fasting from time to time can bring other benefits such as avoiding disease, keeping your brain sharp and even letting you live longer. With all this for the price of just a sprinkle of willpower though, surely it’s all too good to be true? The answer is not straightforward. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the evidence is strongest with type two diabetes - a disease often caused by overeating. The disease means that a person can no longer control their blood-sugar levels. In its simplest form, fasting is abstaining from all food and drink except water. (Although there is a purer form yet, called "dry fasting".) This is the older definition for fasting and the meaning implied by the ancient teachers, like Hippocrates when he prescribed fasting for health. In our modern-day world, the definition has become more complicated because we often include modified fasting in the definition. Modified fasting allows the addition of other items to the diet besides water, like juice or fruit or other simple, wholesome foods. Technically, these would actually be "diets" and ungekürzt.

    From the first sip of vodka I took in my college dorm at age 17, I’ve struggled with alcohol. As I write this, I’m a 35-year-old wife and mother, and I’ve been sober for five months. That’s right. I struggled with alcohol for 17 years.Throughout those years, some times were better than others. I’d go through tough phases where I couldn’t get it right for months at a time. During other extended periods, I’d moderate successfully and think I was “fixed”.I had no issues whatsoever abstaining throughout my pregnancy and for the first several months after my son was born. But no matter what it would always end the same - with embarrassment, regret and too many things to apologize for.At the time I quit, I had been moderating successfully for quite some time. I quit on an upswing, really. It wasn’t some dramatic moment shrouded in turmoil that made me it let it all go. It was one glass of wine.My husband had taken our son to visit his mother one evening, and I curled up with a good book and a glass of wine for a little “me” time. Once that glass was over, my head began to hurt, I became fatigued for no reason, and my mind began to flip. If I finish that bottle, will it be enough? Should I grab more? Nobody will know.At that moment I realized I was so tired and ready to do something different. So, I vowed to go dry for the next 100 days and evaluate my position once complete.The rest is history.I made so many sweeping changes during that first 100 days, and I loved the results so much that I chose to make a temporary decision a permanent one. And there aren’t words to describe how much more incredibly vibrant life has become.In this manuscript, I’ll share results of my first 100 days sober, show you how to tell if your drinking is out of control, and conclude with the exact life changes I made to quit drinking without AA, rehab, or counseling.I hope you enjoy the material within and feel supported and inform ungekürzt.
