The word “Fast” makes some women really nervous
- At the first challenge, they quit so early
- Never realize the great benefits
You worry about feeling:
- Hungry
- Low energy or tired
- Unable to workout
By Starting Slow:
- Body will self-regulate
- Gradually adapt to your changing eating pattern
- Avoid or diminish early transition symptoms such as:
- Digestive changes (constipation or loose stools)
- Dry mouth
- Insomnia
3 Levels to Consider
Beginner: Consistent 12-hour fast
Intermediate: Fasting 14-18 hours
Advanced: Fasting 19-24 hours
Beginner Fasting: 12 hours
- Build the habit of never eating the last 2 hours before bed
- Stop eating at night at a specific time – such as 7pm
- Wait a full 12 hours – in this case 7am – to Break your fast
- Hopefully, you’ve slept close to 8 of those hours
- You’ve had 2-4 hours of non-eating before bed and maybe 1 or less hours when you arise
- This first step is really easy for most people
- One you make it a lifestyle (most days), notching up is quite easy
Intermediate Fasting: 14-18 hours
- Studies show some of the best benefits come at 18+ hours
- Consider not eating for a minimum of 3 – 4 hours at the end of your day
- Dinner at 7pm and bedtime at 10pm
- Extend your morning fast for 2-3 hours
- EXAMPLE: Fast would go from 7pm to 10am = 15 hours
- Eating Time = 10am to 7pm (a 9-hour eating window)
- Work up to a 16/8 plan and choose the best eating hours for you
Be Flexible and Adapt to Your Changing Needs Each Day
- If you plan on a 16 hour fast but are very tired – shorten it that day
- Workout and don’t have enough energy? Break your fast early
- Consistency is more important than perfection
Advanced Fasting: 19-24 hours
- This is best done when you’re well rested
- Take a nap if needed to continue your fast
- Determine the best time for your last meal before fast
- Mid to late afternoon often works well such as 4pm to 4pm
- You won’t go to bed hungry which helps you sleep better
- Consider trying this once per week.
