About the fasting diet
A: Macrobiotic diet or B: Fasting with Enzyme drink diet?
First thing would be to have an interview before the course starts. We want to find the best and healthiest program for you. If looking 5kg is your goal, we would probably recommend you take the fasting diet with enzyme drink course. This course consists of 3 phases. Phase 1: you stay for 14 days at our center, phase 2: partake in the actual diet for 2 days, with a follow up fasting period of 6 days, phase 3: rest and rejuvenate .
This fasting diet will not only help you to lose weight but also assist your body in feeling more serene. It also has long lasting positive effects to your skin. Unfortunately, fasting on your own can be challenging and dangerous, that is why we have the perfect setting to help you through this process with expert guidance in a tranquil setting.
I would like to be 50kg. If I take the Enzyme drink course, how long will it take me to complete my goal?
There are several individual differences, but for generalized purposes, we can estimate for you.
The average weight loss is 6kg-10kg in one month. losing 30kg usually requires more than 4months to 6months.Unfortunately, Drastic dieting can cause unhealthy situations!
This time, I would really like to try the fasting diet. What advice do you have for me?
Currently, I am 165cm tall and weigh 73kg.
I really want to be in a good shape, weighing 58kg...
To lose that amount of weight, We recommend you to take the Enzyme drink course. Initially, We will have an interview, preferably on the first day together. We do this because We want to find the best and healthiest program for you.
