Explore Fasting . . .

. . . and learn about yourself 

Discover why you have tried to change your eating habits so many times—and failed. Learn how to fast safely, break food addictions successfully, and eat healthfully. Understand how your spiritual life is connected to your eating habits. 

You will find Christian content, but don’t let that scare you off; FreedomYou is one of the best research-based sites on fasting, detox and nutrition. 

So what do . . .  


  • Fasting
  • Spiritual Health 
  • Healthy Recipes
  • Breaking Addictions
  • Health 

     . . . all have in common?


Each one are vital steps toward gaining control over your health. Here’s how it works. Fasting results in physical and spiritual detoxification, plus fasting is a powerful tool in breaking food addictions. This is vital because addictions to salt, fat, and sugar make it impossible for you to manage your weight and health. Most of all, fasting will restore intimacy with God; without intimacy, there can be no freedom. 
 
But fasting is not enough. What about the rest of your eating life? Not only do the resources on this site equip you to fast successfully, but FreedomYou provides all of the nutritional and spiritual information to help you eat in freedom so that fasting can become a launching pad to a brand-new life of health.  
 
I encourage you to check out The Steps To Freedom Program, our four-book series that teaches you how to fast, deal with your food addictions, and arms you with the knowledge of how to eat healthily and freely. This program has been our bestseller for the last twelve years, and the countless email testimonies we have received prove that it works. Take some time to read our Fasting Testimonies and Book Reviews. If you have a fasting story or simply want to drop us a line, email Ron at ron@freedomyou.com

Aloha Ron, Thank you for this website! I love it and am so glad to have found it. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (The Mormons) and fasting is an integral part of our doctrine and teachings. We are taught to begin trying, with wisdom, to do a 24 hour spiritual fast from food and water once a month (we even call it Fast Sunday) from the time we are baptized (age 8) and then donate a generous "fast offering" of cash to support those in need in our congregations. I have fasted this way since I was 8. But recently I have learned a whole new side to fasting in my later 40's. I have learned, as you, how absolutely wonderful long-term fasting can be for health and curing diseases and overcoming addictions of all types. I stumbled across Alternate-day fasting in a diet book about 3 years ago, and did some research on the internet. I promptly began doing it for about 1 year. I have seen amazing results. Later on I discovered Dr. Fuhrman's book, "Fasting to Cure Disease. I now go through periods of alternate day fasting - mostly in the summer because it keeps me cool, and resting from fasting - mostly in the winter, because it keeps me warm. I really desire to try out a long term (20-30 day fast) but haven't had the opportunity just quite yet; next spring is the goal. This site has really helped me feel that it may not be necessary to actually go to a fasting a clinic for a long-term fast. That will save a heap of money! Thanks so much!!!! Mahalo! ps. Maybe the reason we call abstaining from food "fast"ing is because it cures so many ailments so FAST compared with other healing methods!

***** 5 Stars is what I give this site (even though my cell would only allow 4.5)!!!.. I found this incredibly informative and encouraging website about 4 years ago and after a 28 day fast was pain free from inflammation! I fast every now and then when I get a bit off track.....and I am pain free today! :)!!! It is beyond wonderful to acquire truth from someone who loves Truth! Thank you......and Know that prayers have gone out for you!!!! :)!!!

Sorry, but I'm agreeing with Elaine. Your old site had quick links to multiple types of fasts, testimonies, recipes, etc. I was always so impressed that it really seemed that freedom you.com was a ministry which happened to sell/recommend a few products. Now it's much harder to find the support sections, at least on my iphone. I know websites change all the time, and that you have an increasingly important point of view considering the declining health of Westerners. Please consider some modifications!

Freedom You is one of the most informative sites on fasting that I've ever encounter.

First, my thanks for maintaining and allowing the site to remain here after so many years. I have referred people here time and time again and will continue for what it's worth. I must say however, that I am saddened to see that what used to provide an abundance of information is now mainly a promotional site for selling various books. It used to be much more fun coming here and being able to read information on whatever it was one needed (free of charge) and not get sneak peeks then directed to a page to purchase a book in order to receive the remainder of much needed information. I am so glad that when I began using this site over 12 years ago that I printed everything of interest to me for future references. The enthusiasm that I used to have coming here is no more but I DID learn a lot here in the past and as mentioned, will continue to refer friends here. Thanks at least for a Great Beginning

9 years ago I was diagnosed with a tumor on my left macula. I found your sight, followed your juice fasting advice, and did a 30 day fast. Since then, I have fasted for shorter periods of time and have managed to keep my eye and the rest of my physical body in health. I am getting prepared to begin another lengthy fast. Thank you so much for all the information, advice, and positive feedback. You are truly doing the Lord's work.

Eating this way has changed my life. I have lost 105 pounds and am no longer pulled towards food that is damaging to my body. My blood sugar levels, inflamation indicators, cholesterol and hormones are all exactly where they should be and they were definitely not good before. I also had headaches almost daily, plantar fasciitis so bad I couldn't walk some days, joint pain, frequent breakouts and constant trouble with allergies, all gone now. My doctor told me (with a smile on his face) that whatever I'm doing to keep doing it because I am now in perfect health! I have been eating this way for the better part of a year and I will never go back. I thank God daily for leading me to His truth through your website. Thank you so much for sharing your heart with us.
