Is fasting for weight loss spiritual?

This post is a very serious one, so I'll begin with the following verses:

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

Galatians 5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

1 Corinthians 6:12 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be enslaved by anything.


I'm going to make this as simple as I can, ANYTHING you do unto the Lord - even if it's trying to lose weight while fasting is honorable to him.

Making water fasting EASIER!



Let me begin by prefacing this:  I've never heard of an easy fast of any sort, but there is a way  to greatly reduce the physical difficulty of water fasting. Just a few simple steps and all of this is to be done prior to your fast

1. Reduce the intake of junk food, processed food, alcohol & caffeine
2.walk
3.eat ONLY fruit for 1-3 days prior to your fast. **This is the most important step, see below. **
