How To Get Through Intermittent Fasting:
1. Only try fasting for a portion of one 24 hour period at first. Don’t try to skip meals for days in a row when you start. See how it goes first, and then plan to do more later.
2. Try the calorie restriction method. Instead of not eating at all, just eat far less than you normally would. If you normally have 4 pieces of bread per day, eat just one. If you normally eat 4 meals a day, cut it to 2 meals.
3. Eating just a small amount of food on fasting days can sometimes be better than cutting all food out.
4. Drink more water than usual. It helps keep you full, and you don’t want to get dehydrated. Remember, a lot of our food is made of water, so you should drink enough to make up for that.
5. Do activities that don’t take up much energy. The more you move around, the more hungry and weak you might become. Play video games, read a book, draw, paint, or video chat with a friend.
If you are going to give it a shot, these tips are sure to help you get through just fine. Remember, you will get to eat again! Stick it out, and know your body.
