A true fast is eating nothing at all, and drinking nothing but water, or, you know, the amazing wonder of Diet Coke and other such drinks.
Everytime you eat, your body stores it because it doesn't know when it will get it's next meal- it's next energy source. It takes twelve hours of fasting before your body will begin to actually begin eating off it's fat.
If you eat something with no calories, like mustard, or something that is a supposed negative calorie, like a celery stick, you are still ruining your fast! If you put any foods into your body, calorieless or not, your system will think it is going to be fed and will wait another twelve hours before it begins eating off it's fat again!
Make a list of all the foods that you crave. Each day, pick one to take out of your diet. No matter what, you absolutely cannot eat again. Take one off until there are no bad foods.

Drink a glass of ice cold water as often as possible, every half-hour is ideal. The water fills and cleanses you; the cold burns calories. At least two quarts daily is good. Water is necessary to carry away the breakdown byproducts of fat.
Wear your favorite tight bikini bottom and take a picture of your love handles. Look at it when you want to eat.
