Spring-time renewal: 5-Days-Fat-Burner Diet

 Welcome Spring, it is time for renewal...

 According to the Catholics from Ash Wednesday the 40-day fast began. Is this a religious fad? Or it is much more than that?

Now we have come to the Spring. This period is the Renewal of Nature. Let's be adventures, we can learn from Nature, let's get rid of our winter-habits, work on our renewal, shall we!
To do this, the best is fasting. Of course, the question arises: How can we do it?
It really is the most difficult and if you have not started yet, we only have a couple of days left till Easter.
Fasting is the best way to get rid of toxins in the body. The longer fasts we choose, the better. As your body is experiencing a period of famine, it starts to use up all sources, it is therefore best to consume reliable product from certified organic range.

I believe that your body needs some cleansing. I do not do fasting but I do detoxifying diet at least once a year. As I mentioned above the best time to do this, is at Springtime. Of course just right before Easter so I can enjoy the lovely Easter ham on Sunday.
