Alkaline fasting in general
What is alkaline fasting?
Alkaline fasting is a form of relief for body, mind and soul and is suitable for everyone. A balanced acid-base balance plays a very important role and brings your body back into balance. During alkaline fasting, you only eat alkaline-forming foods. Fruit, vegetables, salads, fresh herbs, sprouts, seeds, mushrooms and potatoes are turned into tasty dishes. Animal protein and grains, as well as coffee and alcohol, are avoided during this time.
What does alkaline fasting do?
With this calorie-reduced diet, you activate your metabolism and your digestion. Your gut flora can recover and your immune system is strengthened. This allows you to sustainably activate your self-healing powers. We support the body’s detoxification processes through exercise in the fresh air, yoga, meditation and relaxation sessions.

Expertise through ggf certification:
“Fasting for Connoisseurs® Hotel”
Sabine Loy, Hotel Director at Stift St. Georgen am Längsee, successfully passed the diploma examination in November 2022 to become a medically certified, qualified alkaline fasting and vitality trainer at the Academy of the Society for Health Promotion. This entitles Stift St. Georgen to carry the quality award “Certified Fasting Hotel”.
For me, alkaline fasting means pressing the ‘reset button’ at regular intervals, gently and sustainably relieving my body and recharging my batteries. But I also build more mindfulness into my everyday life in terms of the necessary balance between a balanced diet, moderate exercise and regular relaxation.

Birgit Froschauer
Birgit Froschauer is a qualified nutrition trainer, fasting and health trainer, hiking guide and yoga teacher.
In 2016, she fulfilled a lifelong dream and became self-employed with Bau auf deinen Körper. She has explored in great depth the influence of our diet on our health. Through her own fasting experiences, she has seen how effectively self-healing powers
can work and how physical complaints can resolve.
Since then, she has been guiding alkaline fasting and therapeutic fasting groups. Her love of nature connects her with fasting during fasting-hike weeks. In her yoga classes, she focuses on Yin Yoga, a calm and passive style of yoga that is always part of her fasting weeks as well.
Katharina Hymer
Katharina Hymer is a medically certified fasting and health trainer, qualified nutrition trainer and TEM Wyda trainer©.
Nature is a great source of strength and a place of calm for her. Her connection to animals led her to adopt a vegan diet. She has been interested in nutrition since her youth and came to fasting due to long-standing digestive problems. This allowed her to experience firsthand the positive changes that regular fasting can bring.
She sees fasting as a “gain through abstinence”. Taking time for yourself and doing something good for your body, mind and soul. Practising self-care – letting go. It is the perfect path to regeneration, lightness and self-discovery.
