324 Shares

Fasting is greatly beneficial for health and has become an easy way for most people to improve their health and extend their life span, according to recent studies. When you add sea moss to your fasting process, you can continue to reap the benefits of your body being in a fasted state, while also nourishing your body with this power-packed superfood.

Sea moss is very nutritious and is suitable for a variety of specialty diets, and with its low-calorie nature, it helps to improve your bodily functions immensely, whether taken while fasting or not.

This is one of the reasons why many are embarking on the popular 7-day sea moss fasting challenge, as an easy way to detoxify and almost re-start the way their body functions while remaining nourished.

Whether you have chosen to embark on a 7-day water fast, dry fast, veggie fast or mono sea moss fast, we’ve combed the web and come up with this informational guide on all you need to know when it comes to the 7-day sea moss fasting challenge.

Let’s start with one of the biggest concerns for our expert fasters, and examine whether or not sea moss will break your fast and take your body out of the fasting state.

Will sea moss break your fast?

It is generally believed that any calories that you consume during your fasted state, despite how small the number is, can be enough to take you out of the fasted state, but more recent studies are not as conclusive in this opinion when it comes to foods that are 5 calories or less.

Sea moss likely will not remove you from the fasted state, especially when taken in the form of the raw gel whether dissolved in water or just orally. This is because the recommended daily amount of 1 – 2 teaspoons maximum is less than 5 calories, which has little to no effect on the body’s energy or sugar levels.

While sea moss will not rob you of your fasting benefits, it is important to pay attention to the type of fast that you are doing to understand the risk that you are at breaking that fast when you take sea moss.

In other words, if you are doing a mono or veggie fast, you will be taking in minimum calories through the foods you eat, hence sea moss will have no real impact in terms of caloric consumption. If you choose to do water or dry fast though, then you have to be critical of every supplement you take, including sea moss.

How long does it take for sea moss to start working in your body?

Liquid dietary supplements or anything liquid in general tends to produce a quicker response time since they tend to be digested and reach the bloodstream faster than foods that have to go through the digestive process.

When it comes to sea moss, especially in its gelatinous form, it is easily digested in the bloodstream and starts working immediately, but you will see and feel a noticeable difference in the body within 2 to 3 days to a week. During your fasting state, however, this might be a little harder to recognize.

Taking sea moss while fasting will amplify the results that you get, but you may not notice differences as soon as they happen, because your mind tends to be on food during the first 1 – 2 days of your fast. After this time, you will notice that your mind is a lot clearer, and you have increased energy and a feeling of lightness overall.

Within a few weeks, you will have time to notice how sea moss has impacted your digestion, given you extra energy and fuel, and the impact it has had on your hair, skin and nails, among many others. Combine that with the added benefits of fasting for 7 days, and you will be shocked by the results.

The 7 Day sea moss fast (Days 1 to 7)

This fasting challenge was designed to detoxify, reset and re-energize your body to perform at an optimal level. While there are variations that incorporate natural juices and raw foods for the 7 days, the authentic 7-day fasting challenge focuses on just intaking spring water and your daily sea moss intake.

To help you get started, we’ve created this table with the 3 most common types of fasts that can be expected on this 7-day challenge and what to expect during days 1 to 7 of this sea moss fasting challenge. Let’s jump right in!

Day of Fast	What is happening Internally	What to expect
Day 1	After 18 to 24 hours of fasting, autophagy begins. During autophagy, your body begins to get rid of damaged cells, and it replaces them with newer, more regenerated healthy new cells.	Slight or extreme hunger pans throughout the day
Day 2	An increase of Human Growth Hormone (HGH), resulting in your body breaking down body fat and increased muscle mass, among others.	Possible headaches, stomach aches and hunger pans, little weight loss
Day 3	Increased immune function, your body will start breaking down immune cells and regenerating new cells. The body also goes into Ketosis resulting in higher energy levels.	Hunger pangs would have passed, a routine of fasting would have been developed, and ketosis & sea moss will also result in increased energy levels.
Day 4	Body is consistently in fat-burning mode, and glucose and insulin levels are low.	Weight loss, usually between 1 – 3 pounds, mental clarity, reduction in anxiety issues
Day 5	Body remains in Ketosis, fat-burning is consistent, brain function is consistently being improved.	Mental alertness, increased energy levels, and more weight loss.
Day 6	Body is balancing hormones, reducing insulin and glucose, and working on levels of cortisol.	Hunger pans are usually gone by this, cravings may remain, mental clarity and alertness, no anxiety, and more weight loss.
Day 7	Continuous regeneration of cells, improved immune function, continued ketosis resulting in more weight loss, and improved brain function.	Clearer skin, healthier nails, reductions in flare-ups from skin conditions such as eczema or dermatitis, weight loss, usually 3 to 7 pounds or more, increased mental clarity, anxiety reduction
