Results of the fasting week: Positive changes through the SALUFAST program
Fasting has proven itself for centuries to be an effective method for improving health and well-being. Thanks to modern scientific research, we now understand the mechanisms that occur during fasting better than ever before. This is particularly evident in the results of our extensive evaluations of over 20,000 fasting weeks ( Variation I , Variation II , and Ayurveda ) with SALUFAST.
Why fasting makes sense for many
Weight loss is often a primary reason why people begin a fasting week. Our data shows that participants lose an average of 3 kg in just 7 days (women 2.5 kg, men 3.5 kg). However, it's important to understand that some of this weight loss is due to water loss, which is partially replenished after the fasting week. Nevertheless, the net effect remains significant, and most participants report feeling more energetic and able to eat less after the fasting week—a positive side effect that motivates many to permanently live a healthier lifestyle and break bad habits.
The results in detail
Average weight loss
In our extensive evaluations, we were able to confirm that participants lost an average of 3 kg (6.6 lbs) during the fasting week. This reduction is a sign of how effectively the SALUFAST program supports the body in shedding excess weight. Even though some of this loss is due to fluid loss, the effect on overall well-being and metabolism remains lasting.
Long-term effects and the start to a healthier life
Many of our participants use the fasting week as a starting point for a healthier life. This can also be seen in our reviews . After the fasting week, they report that they not only feel more energetic, but also need less food to feel full. This supports a long-term dietary change that leads to a sustainable improvement in health. Furthermore, some people increasingly adopt a vegetarian/vegan diet afterward. Even three months after completing the program, many participants are able to maintain their reduced weight or even lose more weight, which speaks to the long-term effectiveness of the program.
Reduction of BMI and change in body circumference
A particularly pleasing result of the program is the reduction in body mass index (BMI). On average, participants lose one BMI point during the fasting week. This corresponds to a reduction in waist circumference of approximately 4 cm and hip circumference of 2 cm – a visible and measurable success that not only improves physical appearance but also brings health benefits.
Improve mood and sleep
In addition to the physical benefits, our evaluation shows that overall well-being also improves significantly. Participants report improved mood and improved sleep quality, leading to an overall higher quality of life. These positive changes make fasting a holistic experience that benefits both body and mind.
Scientifically sound data
The results of our evaluations are highly statistically significant and underscore the effectiveness of the SALUFAST program. We are proud that our program is based on the latest scientific findings and is regularly reviewed to provide participants with the best possible support.
Important information for participation
The SALUFAST program is aimed at healthy individuals without chronic illnesses. If you are taking medication or suffer from a chronic illness, be sure to consult your doctor before beginning the fasting week. Furthermore, the program is not suitable for individuals suffering from eating disorders such as bulimia or anorexia, as fasting is contraindicated in such cases. Participation is also not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as well as for growing children and adolescents.
With these insights, you'll be perfectly prepared to successfully plan your own fasting week with SALUFAST. This fasting week can be the ideal start to a healthier life, supported by scientifically sound methods and measurable results. Start your journey to greater health and well-being now!
