Fasting Times Are Not Something To Worry About
Night after night, I sat in my room furiously reading articles about fasting.
I just wasn’t sure if it would work for me. There were so many ways to approach it. And I had many reservations about whether it would work or not. Finally, one night I had enough. A plan was set. The next day I’d fast for 16 hours.
That was over 5 years ago.
I took to fasting like a duck to water.
And here’s how you can do the same.
Give your body a break from food
When I started fasting I was fixated on time.
I literally thought that if I didn’t fast for 16 hours, it would be a wasted day. I’d count in my head how many hours to make sure I was on track. This caused lots of tension.
Turns out I wasn’t the only one that went through those types of worries when starting a fasting protocol.
It’s super common. But if you want to have more success with fasting here’s one way to look at things:
- Know that after 13 hours the body starts to go into a fasted state. While 13–15 hours fasts are not as deep like say a 36 hour one, you’ll still gain results over time. Each time you fast, you give your body ample time to burn some of its fat stores.
