Consider starting with intermittent fasting before trying longer fasts from "summary" of The Complete Guide to Fasting by Jimmy Moore,Jason Fung

If you're new to fasting, jumping straight into a longer fast might seem intimidating. That's where intermittent fasting comes in. It's a great way to ease yourself into the world of fasting before diving into longer periods without food. Intermittent fasting involves cycling between periods of eating and fasting. This can take many forms, such as the popular 16/8 method where you fast for 16 hours and eat within an 8-hour window. This approach allows your body to get used to going without food for extended periods without the same level of commitment as a longer fast. By starting with intermittent fasting, you can gradually increase the length of your fasting periods as your body becomes more accustomed to going without food. This can help you build confidence and experience the benefits of fasting without feeling overwhelmed. Additionally, intermittent fasting can help you identify any challenges or issues that may arise during longer fasts. For example, you may discover that you struggle with hunger at certain times of the day or that you experience headaches when fasting for extended periods. By addressing these issues during intermittent fasting, you can better prepare yourself for longer fasts in the future.
  1. Starting with intermittent fasting can be a more manageable and sustainable way to incorporate fasting into your lifestyle. It allows you to ease into the practice gradually, build your fasting muscle, and reap the many benefits that fasting has to offer. So, if you're new to fasting, consider starting with intermittent fasting before trying longer fasts.
