The same - just stop eating (for some time between a day and a week). I tried (for a week) successfully and that was fun. This way you discover you have power to choose to eat or not to eat, also learn to distract yourself from hunger and forget about it for whatever time you choose to. Switching to keto first, supplementing minerals - helps a lot.
- orwin 2y agoSo I will second this post, but with a caveat: 'fun' is extremely relative. I was obese, 34 BMI, and did this. My first fast, the hunger 'spikes' were extremely painful. If 'broken leg' is a 10, the pain would be was a 6 to 9. Intermittently. Around every two hours, for a dozen minutes, from the end of the first day until the end of the second. I was prepared. A doctor was consulted before, my sister was around, I took the week off, and yes, I entered ketosis 2 days before the fast. Still, it was very difficult. It did help a ton though, because like my parent say, once you've gone hungry once and managed it fine ( day 3-4-5 were 'normal' to me), your body learn to accept hunger. I now leave every meal hungry, and it's fine. I went from 34 BMI to 28 in less than two years, without changing anything other than the quantities I ate. The 28 to 25 took 5 years and physical exercise.
