Intermittent fasting and extended fasting are both easier when you eat the right kind of food beforehand. It prepares your body and helps you get a smooth start, and ultimately makes it easier to get all the way through your fast. Today I’ll explain what types of food I recommend eating before a short fast (like daily time-restricted eating), or a long fast (such as 24 hours or more).  My YouTube video on this topic:  <a href='https://youtu.be/XN6FQILUK44'>https://youtu.be/XN6FQILUK44</a> Full show notes and resources:  <a href='https://fastingwell.com/episode27/'>https://fastingwell.com/episode27/</a>

Learn how you can use intermittent fasting to improve your physical and mental health, so you can feel better, live longer, and (potentially) reverse chronic disease.  Ben Tanner, PA-C explains the science and benefits of fasting in basic terms you can understand.  He also shares tips and tricks to help you effectively implement fasting into your lifestyle as painlessly as possible.  The show covers basic physiology about how fasting works, and step-by-step advice on how to get started with intermittent fasting (also known as time-restricted eating), or extended fasting (multiple days).  You’ll also learn about specific health benefits of different types of fasting, so you can choose the best regimen for your needs.
