Have you noticed that sometimes when you start a diet the results are really impressive and other times they are miniscule? It is all due to the phases of the Moon. After Full Moon, comes the phase of the waning Moon which lasts for two weeks and is the best time to loose weight. Our metabolism speeds up and we start giving off more energy. This is a very good time to embark on a diet because its effects will be long term.
Just like the Moon is visibly decreasing, so is our body mass. The gravity of the moon influences not only oceans and rivers but also body fluids. When it is waning, the organism releases excess water and the body becomes less swollen. It is also easier to burn fats and eliminate toxins and waste material from the cells.
Even if you are more indulgent with your food intake during this two-week period, you will not put on as much weight as you would during a growing Moon.
The pinnacle of this period is the 24hours of the New Moon. In that time frame, the body`s natural mechanism for elimination and detoxification is at its most active. The best way to cooperate with it is to fast, or at least abstain from heavy/solid foods and drink plenty of water so you can augment the release of poisons and excess weight. Even if you don’t need to decrease your body mass, it is strongly recommended that you never miss the healing power of that special monthly time by consuming only liquids as this will prevent and improve a lot our contemporary ailments.
