Getting started with intermittent fasting is easier than you think!
Here are the essentials:
- 👤 Set up your profile: Enter age, gender, weight, and goals in the app to get personalized guidance. Use an email-based account to track your progress safely.
- 🗓️ Start gently: Choose a beginner-friendly fasting plan (14–16 hours) and adjust it to your schedule. Avoid overstraining at first.
- ⏰ Plan your last meal: Overnight fasting helps many beginners. Adjust eating windows to your lifestyle.
- ☕️ During fasting: Drink water, tea, or black coffee only. Stay hydrated and follow medication advice. Mild side effects may occur but usually pass quickly.
- 🥗 During eating periods: Eat nutrient-dense foods, include protein, healthy fats, vegetables, and some fruit. Carbs are fine in moderation.
- 📈 Track progress: Weigh yourself weekly and take body measurements. Focus on overall well-being, not just weight.
- 📧 Get support: Join the BodyFast Facebook group, follow us on Instagram, and use the Help tab in the app for guidance.
