first time fasting

[cliffon]

I'm new to fasting but have been listening to the evo podcast and reading books on it (I read steve's book and Jason Fung). before i start i wanted to see what your opinions are on a good first time fast. How long should I try it for? I don't think I have ever gone a day without eating so I am scared, any final tips are appreciated.

First fast go 24 hours water no food. Start there before you go longer.

go dinner to dinner. so if you eat 7pm today, fast till 7pm tomorrow

if you feel hunger remember that isn't really hunger. that is likely an electrolyte imbalance. so a trick i do is add some salt and cream of tartar to your water and drink, you can also get pure high quality liquid magnesium. those electrolytes will help balance things out. just push through. stay away from habits that make you want to eat like watching tv

do that a few times this week and then go for a 36 hour fast.

Start with a simple 24 hour fast. I agree with SteveSmi above. Eat dinner and then just wait until the next day at dinner to eat again.

i have no interests in fasting whatsoever. i'd rather portion my meal sizes

I'm not a fan of prolonged fasts for anyone that looks to enhance their physique.. I did intermittent fasting for a few years with great success before it ever was popular. That was 16 hkur fasts with an 8 hour feed window each day. There is a balance. You dont want to go too short or you won't get the benefits or too long because your performance and physique will suffer
