Good to know
We recommend a minimum of five fasting days, as the transition and recovery days (going from "100 to near zero" and back) are particularly demanding on the body. For first-timers, 7 days of fasting plus 2–3 days of recovery (a total of about 10 days) has proven to be optimal. If you are fasting for health reasons, you should aim for at least 10 fasting days.
The first day of refeeding begins symbolically with an apple ("breaking the fast"): each bite should be chewed 30–40 times to gently reaccustom your stomach and digestion to solid food. The refeeding period should last about one-third of the duration of your fast. Then, eat slowly and mindfully, notice how intense everything tastes, and gradually return to your usual diet.
And after that? If you are looking for a sustainable change in your diet, it would be great if you could spare a few more days. You could then continue to learn how to eat intelligently with the Low-Carb Schlanke Tanne program for a while. Individual nutritional counseling might also be helpful.
We generally recommend one of our fasting packages, as these already include all medical consultations and accompanying treatments.
The "Schlanke Tanne" is designed as a sustainable change in diet. There is no fixed end date — it aims for long-term integration into your daily life ("Schlanke Tanne at Home") to achieve weight loss, a metabolic boost, and lasting nutritional success without the yo-yo effect. We recommend at least 5–7 days.
We recommend our low-carb packages (Small, Medium, Large): they include all essential treatments such as lymphatic drainage, contrast showers, and gut cleansing to optimally support your “Slim Fir” diet.
If, however, you would prefer only the nutrition program, you can also book individual treatments à la carte — please note that in this case, they will be billed separately.
The recommended arrival days are Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday, based on our practice hours. Your initial consultation should take place the day after you arrive.
- On your arrival day, you will be served a vegetable plate for dinner.
- Your fasting program begins the day after your arrival with a medical consultation, followed by your dose of Glauber's salt.
This ensures you start your fast feeling clean and well-supported.
At Tannerhof, we exclusively practice Buchinger therapeutic fasting.
If you are not yet ready for fasting, our "Schlanke Tanne" low-carb intermittent diet is a great alternative.
Fasting is conducted exclusively under medical supervision. Your admission appointment on day 1 of fasting will determine if fasting is suitable for you. Generally, therapeutic fasting is not suitable for:
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Eating disorders or uncontrolled obesity
- Severe chronic illnesses (e.g., unstable cardiovascular issues, untreated type 1 diabetes)
- Acute infections or high fever
Please discuss all pre-existing conditions and medications with our doctor in advance.
