this way or that way?

I’ve been IF for a week :D time flew by, but I’m a little worried. I’m 24,F, sw:212 and I do 18:6. My worry is I see people only fasting for 5 days a week? Should I not do the fast 7 days a week? Also, what vitamins are recommended when fasting?

Answer

Many people fast during the week with shorter windows (4 or 5) and a bit longer windows on the weekends (7 or 8). Electrolytes are important for fasting, like salt in water or black coffee, or smart water with added electrolytes only. Some fasters add magnesium supplements during their window. Some take a multivitamin during their window to fill in any nutritional gaps that may occur for them. If you can plan Whole Foods and a varied diet, you shouldn’t need vitamins, but I feel better taking them than relying on my poor planning skills
