Will I be hungry during therapeutic fasting? It’s one of the most common questions we hear from guests before their first stay.

In our large study of 1,422 participants, 93% reported no hunger at the end of their fasting experience. For many people, hunger decreases after the first two or three days as the body adapts to fasting.

Every fasting experience is individual. At Buchinger Wilhelmi, therapeutic fasting takes place under medical supervision, with our team there to support you throughout your stay.
