I have done intermittent fasting for a while and can do 20-24h fasting relatively easily now. Am going to try to move on to 7 days full-water fast and slowly extend it, my actual aim is 28 days water fast.
Mini habits are a strategy for starting small and building momentum towards a larger goal. To apply mini habits to the practice of water fasting, you could start by setting a small goal for yourself, such as fasting for 12-20 hours each day for the first week. Once you have established that habit, you can gradually increase the duration of your fasts. Additionally, it’s important to establish a trigger for your fasting habit, such as drinking a glass of water first thing in the morning, which will remind you to begin your fast. It’s also important to have a plan for what to do during your fast, such as drinking water, tea, or other non-caloric beverages, so that you don’t become overly hungry.
My Fasting Milestone 1: 7 days.
At end of 7th day, I will extend if I feel like doing more. My max goal is 28 Days Water Fast.
