Start slow the first week, try fasting for 18hours, then do 24hours, third week 48hours. Get rid of things that trigger you to eat, drink adequate amount of water whenever you feel hungry, hunger can disappear after a certain period of time as long as you don’t start obsessing about it. Also avoid sugar with all Its types, good luck !
I do omad mon-fri, two meals on weekends.
But mon-fri I eat lunch or dinner, depending what I feel like on the day, rarely I skip the day entirely but sometimes. I like it allows flexibility for my day but also I’m limiting intake still.
I don’t know what kind of fasting you did previously, but I would start very conservatively. Just do a week of 16 or even 14 hour fast… Then when you get the rhythm back ratchet things up to where you’re comfortable.
Habits are very strange things, and eating can sometimes become a habit. I know that happens to me all the time; that’s why focusing on the emotional aspect of eating is really effective for me.
Basically, What I suggest is setting your schedule/target one week at a time… And when you find yourself tempted to break the fast early? Just ask yourself why you want to eat. Really think about it. I’ll give you a hint… The answer, if you are being honest, is not “because I’m really hungry“!
