-
Drink Water: Start each morning with a full eight-ounce glass of water.
-
Stay busy: It’ll keep your mind off food.
-
Drink Coffee/Tea: Coffee is a mild appetite suppressant. Green tea and black tea.
-
Ride the Hunger Waves: Hunger comes in waves; it is not continuous. When it hits, slowly drink a glass of water or a hot cup of coffee. Often by the time you’ve finished, your hunger will have passed.
-
Don’t tell everybody you are fasting: Most people will try to discourage you, as they do not understand the benefits. A close-knit support group is beneficial, but telling everybody you know is not a good idea.
-
Give yourself 1-2 months: It takes time for your body to get used to fasting. The first few times you fast may be difficult, so be prepared. Don’t be discouraged. It DOES GET EASIER believe me!
-
Follow a nutritious diet: Intermittent fasting is not an excuse to eat whatever you like. Stick to a nutritious diet low in sugars and refined carbohydrates.
-
Don’t binge: After fasting, pretend it never happened. Eat normally as if you had never fasted.
