In this YouTube short, the host presents a tiered set of four fasting options suitable for the nine‑day Navratri period, ranging from the easiest to the most intensive. The first option is a 9‑day no‑grain fast that eliminates wheat, rice, dal, roti, and millets, allowing only steamed vegetables, salads, and fruits. The second option is a 9‑day raw‑food fast that permits only uncooked fruits, vegetables, salads, shakes, smoothie bowls, and juices. The third option is a short‑term smoothie fast, recommended for up to three days, where the participant consumes 4–5 banana‑based smoothies daily. The fourth and most advanced option is a 3‑day juice fast, allowing only 4–5 glasses of juice per day and promising a deep detox. The host emphasizes the need for proper guidance when undertaking smoothie or juice fasts and promotes a forthcoming 3‑day juice fast program, directing viewers to register at juiceon.org.

4 types of fasts you can do this Navratri. We'll go from easy to hard. You can choose your level. Number 1, no grain fast. This means that for 9 days you quit all grain— wheat, rice, dal, roti, millets— none of this. And you stay solely on sabzis, steamed vegetables, salads, and fruits. Sounds simple, right? Option number 2, raw food fast. For 9 days you only consume raw food. Nothing cooked, baked, or steamed. Everything raw as given by nature. In this you can eat delicious salads, shakes, smoothie bowls, fruits, and juices. Third option, smoothie fast. We recommend this for not more than 3 days. Smoothie is basically a shake made with bananas and different vegetables and fruits. You can have 4 to 5 smoothies a day. Last and the most advanced level of fast is the juice fast. For 3 days, you can choose to consume only juices and quit all solid food. You can have 4 to 5 glasses of juices a day. This is the most intense but also leads to the deepest detox. Now, if you go for a smoothie or a juice fast, it's very important that you do it correctly with proper guidance. You can join us for the 3-day juice fast starting soon.
