Doc, how should I start intermittent fasting if I’ve never done it before?’

I get this question all the time.  The truth is that most people will suffer no serious health issue if they suddenly fast for 20-24 hours, even if they’ve never fasted before.  However, the chance of feeling unwell or very hungry during the fast is much more likely.

If you are new to intermittent fasting, I would recommend starting low and going slow.  That way, your body will gradually adjust to longer and longer periods of going without food.  You will be much less likely to struggle with hunger, cravings, dizziness, headaches or mood changes associated with fasting if you get used to it over time.

Naturally, some people can adapt more quickly than others, but for anyone who wants to try intermittent fasting for the first time, this week, if you subscribe for FREE via Patreon, I will share a schedule I would suggest: https://patreon.com/DrKarenHartzenberg?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink
