1. Realize that you aren’t going to adapt over night!
It takes time for your body to adjust to something new
If you feel lighted headed or can’t take the hunger at first, eat!
The goal here isn’t to have you pass out...
It’s to start small and work your way to longer fasts.

2. Strategically blunt your hunger
Drinking things like black coffee, black tea’s, sparkling water, or 0 cal drinks will help (keep 0 cal drinks to a minimum though)
I highly recommend you use one of these to help blunt hunger.
It’s VERY helpful.
I use black coffee everyday.

3. Your fast breaker should be HIGH protein, low carbs.
This will help you reduce afternoon carb crashing.
The high protein will keep you feeling full until your 2nd meal.
And for the low carb... I suggest half a plate full of vegetables.
High volume, low calorie meal.

4. How much water are you drinking?
If you actually had to think about this, you likely aren’t drinking enough.
Drink 2L or more of water per day, everyday.
Your body is made of 60%+ water.
You NEED adequate hydration.
Fasting may/can dehydrate you if you don’t drink enough

5. If it’s been 3+ weeks & you’re still struggling to adapt and you feel really hungry constantly
Graze on some fruit
This “technically” will break your fast, but goal here is to help your body adapt to little to no food longer
Use this method til' you can complete your fasts.

6. Eat more whole foods
If you’re feeling constant hunger after your first meal, you might be eating low quality food.
Higher quality food will leave you feeling fuller, longer.
Plus they have more vitamins and minerals than processed junk.

7. Keep yourself busy!
Instead of sitting on the couch thinking about how hungry you are, go do something & keep your mind occupied on something else.
Before you know it, it’ll be time to eat.
I’m ALWAYS doing something, so I forget about being hungry most times.

-eat in a caloric deficit (if fat loss is your goal)
All VERY important.
