( FASTING ) Kim says: "You wouldn't jump into a marathon without training. The same goes for fasting—start small and build gradually."
If you're new to intermittent fasting, here's the science-backed progression:
Step 1: Start with 16:8
Fast for 16 hours, eat within an 8-hour window. This is the foundation. Master this for several weeks before progressing.
Step 2: Gradually move to 24-hour fasts
Once your body adapts, try a full 24-hour fast occasionally (e.g., dinner to dinner).
Step 3: Progress to 48-hour fasts
With proper preparation and guidance, some people strategically incorporate 48-hour fasts.
Step 4: Advanced 72-hour fasts
Extended fasts (like 72 hours) should only be done with professional guidance and after months of proper progression.
Skipping steps can lead to metabolic stress, muscle loss, hormone disruption, and more harm than good.
