Diet & Weight Loss by the Moon — Best Days 2026
Moon diet uses natural lunar phases: During a waning Moon, the body finds it easier to shed toxins and burn fat. Fasting cures and detox are especially effective in this phase. During a waxing Moon, the body stores more — stick to light meals. Full Moon fasting is a popular tradition for intense detoxification.
