YOUR FASTING BOX EXPERIENCE AT HOME
What can I expect during the 5 days?
Depending on your order, we will send you tips no later than five days before you start the programme to help you get ready and make sure that your time-out is as beneficial as possible. For this reason, we recommend that you plan a stress-free period before and after your FASTING BOX experience to prepare yourself and soften the landing back in your everyday life. You can find instructions for the time after your FASTING BOX experience in our User Guide with a meal plan, recipes and a shopping list for the following days. This will help to smooth your transition to a sustainable, healthy life.
FASTING BOX Day 1: Transition
Transition day is an alleviation day. It serves to prepare the body for the reduced food intake and starts the adjustment in the metabolism. Our user guide with instructions on the experience, daily video messages, and our online community make it easy for you to enter the following 5-day fast reset week. Get some natural yogurt for your breakfast and enrich it with oil and cashew kernels from the FASTING BOX, and there is soup for the mid-day and evening meal.
FASTING BOX Days 2-4
As of the 2nd day, the metabolism of fasting patients adjusts itself: Instead of glucose, only fat is metabolized, and ketone bodies are produced. Your organism adjusts itself to the new situation. Autophagy and Apoptosis – the most important cell cleansing mechanisms – begin to occur. During the fasting days, you can freely choose one of the fasting soups mid-day and in the evening.
FASTING BOX Day 5: Restart
The restart day at the end of the program enables a smooth return to day-to-day life. Apple Puree and Cashew Nuts will be your first solid food. The restart soup is a tasty and somewhat wholesome soup made of organic vegetables to celebrate the conclusion of your 5-day program.

THE 5-DAY FASTING BOX
Our experience for your health.
We have been researching fasting and its effects for over 100 years: Our FASTING BOX is based on the fasting program from our clinics and is specially tailored for use at your home.
The foods in our FASTING BOX are very low in calories and carbohydrates but high in fats, with some proteins, your body can still enter ketosis – one of the desired effects of »fasting metabolism«. Ketosis is a metabolic state that can encourage the regeneration of the body‘s cells.

FASTING BOX FAQ
All questions related to FASTING BOX for your home
During fasting, the metabolism switches to so-called ketosis – and meatbolises fat instead of glucose and produces ketones, with numerous positive effects: The autophagy process is activated, resulting in a deep cleansing of the cells and tissue. It can also help to reduce pain and mobility restrictions.
The Buchinger Wilhelmi FASTING BOX is a hypocaloric ketogenic programme with intermittent fasting. Its effect is comparable with that of a short-term fast.
What is known as the switchback phase lasts around 4 days and serves as a gentle return to eating mixed-food meals. We recommend choosing foods that are regional, organic and, if possible, fresh (e.g. from the weekly market). In the user guide, you can find all the recipes as well as a shopping list for your meals.
The box contains all the products that you need. For the restart day at the end of the 5-day program, you will find a glass of applesauce in the FASTING BOX, which will be your first solid food together with the cashew kernels.
We deliberately exclude fruit and fruit juices from our FASTING BOX since they contain many carbohydrates. Instead, soups made of organic vegetables make up the main part of our FASTING BOX. By doing so, your body undergoes a healthy metabolic change more quickly. Autophagy and Apoptosis – the most important cell cleansing mechanisms – begin to occur. More about the scientific background
Besides a natural yogurt for transition day (day 1), you do not need any additional products.
