I am a firm believer in fasting. It gives your body a well deserved rest. I have a healthy, hearty breakfast, then a substantial lunch at noon. I fast from noon until breakfast the next day. At first it may seem weird, then you will get used to it. You will sleep better. Your entire digestive system is given a rest so your body can heal itself. Remember, you need to drink plenty of water and of course, no sugar, no carbs, plenty of veggies and fruit, no red meat. Also, if you can handle it, give meditation a try. Same positive effects as fasting! Did I mention both also help with depression and anxiety, and general well being.
