5 Steps to Train Yourself to Do A 3 Day Water Fast ~ Dr. Mindy Pelz

The Dr. Mindy Pelz’s Podcast

Summary

A structured approach to transitioning from regular eating to a three-day water fast is outlined in five steps. The first step involves pushing breakfast back by one hour daily, gradually acclimating the body to a later eating schedule. Once comfortable, individuals should extend this delay further until they consistently fast for 15 hours each day.

The next phase encourages maintaining a 15 to 17-hour fasting window daily, which should become a natural routine. Following this, participants are advised to incorporate a 24-hour dinner-to-dinner fast once a week, with the option to increase to twice a week as they grow more accustomed to intermittent fasting. The final step is to attempt a longer fast, such as a three-day water fast, after mastering the 24-hour fast.

Additional tips for easing into the three-day water fast include lowering carbohydrate intake and increasing fat consumption in the days leading up to the fast to stabilize blood sugar levels. Utilizing supportive tools like supplements may also help manage symptoms during the fasting period.
