Hello, is there a thread for general tips?

I'll delete this shortly to not clog the sub. I'm going to try a multiday fast, not necessarily for weight loss. I have been doing Intermittent fasting 8:16 so I don't know if that can count as experience but I'm still new to all this. Is there a general thread for starters and if not I'd like to know a few things: - how to keep blood sugar stable throughout the fast. - things I should consume in terms of minerals - where does eating liquid stuff like soups and juice fall into this? Is it "proibited"? Thanks in advance for the answers

Answer

Ending your last meal (before starting at EF) with proteins and healthy fats will help with hunger and blood sugars. I also eliminate sugars and processed carbs a couple days before one as well. Anything besides water, black coffee/tea isn’t really fasting. Taking electrolytes is super helpful in keeping headaches, fatigue, muscle cramps and light headedness away. I like these as they also have b vitamins which are important for the refeed. I use these and it also comes in a sleep version on Amazon too. https://www.amazon.com/Extended-Electrolytes-Himalayan-B-Complex-Vitamins/dp/B08ZYWC5Q8/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=Reset&qid=1672781966&sr=8-4
