What's your regimen? Do you restrict what kinds of food you eat? What about alcohol? I've been interested in starting it.

  Mostly plant based (occasional pizza or gelato maybe once a month), I do alternate day fasting, something like 40:8, fast 40 hours eat for 8.. try to avoid night eating, it makes me feel worse the next day.. maybe a bit much for some but I feel so much stronger as a result. Low caffeine.. probably too much fake meat/soy products for my own good..

    Oh wow that's an intense fasting schedule (at least to me)! I've been trying to be consistent about 16:8 during the week. Weekends usually mess me up due to alcohol... I've noticed feeling more tired this year and am exploring ways to fight it. Maybe I need to kick down the caffeine as well.

      Since I’ve started fasting it’s hard for me to sleep past 4-5am, which is nice because at least in my culture, it’s supposed to be a good time to get up and meditate and think.. it’s not so intense but I don’t do intense physical activity, maybe 30 minutes of ashtanga yoga a day..
