Tips For Fasting Safely
Keep A Fasting Journal

Individuals who are practicing intermittent fasting can benefit greatly if they keep a fasting journal. A fasting journal should include what individuals are eating, when their fasting window begins, and other habits, including exercise, emotions, and symptoms experienced. Writing down details helps individuals gauge their progress with intermittent fasting. It can also help individuals identify potential issues or triggers that make fasting harder, such as not engaging in clean fasting or drinking alcoholic beverages the night before. Key details to write down include information on hunger levels and details on negative symptoms, such as weakness and fatigue.
