Health considerations

Whether you start with a modified fasting plan or a full fast, it’s best to maintain a nutritious diet, incorporating high protein foods and a variety of fiber-packed vegetables to help you feel full.

Additionally, eating too many high calorie snacks or processed food products can negate the positive effects associated with intermittent fasting.

It’s also best to talk with a doctor before beginning a fasting plan, especially if you have an underlying health condition. They can help determine if the plan is safe and effective for your health needs.
