Fasting for god or for weight loss

In age old days fasting was a spiritual practice and was devoted to some named god on special days. Nowadays, fasting is more likely means of loosing weight. It's like a means of rest to the digestive system but have you ever thought of giving rest to your respiratory system or nervous system. Similarly digestive system plays a vital role and cannot be put on rest.

For your digestive system to be working fine one should eat a little at a time. Now how do you know how much one should eat. It's said that about a fist size would be more than enough for a single meal. Somehow it may vary from person to person. Eating a little at a time and by dividing one large meal into smaller ones will enhance your digestive system and boost your metabolism.

Why kids are healthier than us because they eat a little at a time. They eat only e amount that is required to fulfil their hunger at that point of time and they stay active and fit. We should learn from kids rather than spoiling their habit by over feeding them and thus spoiling their eating habits too. Over eating is one bad habit which will increase every day and will be difficult to correct in the long run just like smoking. Taking carbs in the right quantity in the right time is very essential for the proper working of your digestive system. Over intake of carbs is also kind of addiction.

So wake up friends who have a misconception of eating only two large meals n staying hungry all the time and think you will loose weight. One cannot follow a diet which will make you sick and depressed. A diet plan which keeps you energetic all time and makes you satisfied and happy and which you can follow throughout your life is the best diet plan. So chose one wisely. Like smoking is injurious to health so is over eating dear friends.
