Fasting is beneficial. The oldest natural healing method in the world keeps us healthy, strengthens self-healing powers, rejuvenates cells, and supports weight loss. However, going days without eating is something most people find difficult. Nevertheless, one can still benefit from the many positive effects of fasting by literally fasting only in appearance—tricking the body into thinking it is not receiving anything. Instead of a radical zero-calorie diet, one consumes three small meals each day for five days, with a nutrient composition so cleverly designed that the body still switches into fasting mode. Prof. Dr. Andreas Michalsen, Germany's leading fasting expert, has now prepared this scientifically proven, revolutionary success concept in his master plan so that anyone can easily implement it at home: with practical recipes, variations for multiple 5-day courses, and all the important tips and information. This way, a fresh start for body and mind can be achieved in just a few days.
