This means that if you start fasting at 7 pm on Saturday, you
consume nothing except liquids until 7 pm on Sunday. You eat
normally on the other days of the week.
This is an excellent natural detox therapy for the body and gives
the digestive system a much-needed rest. However, it's
extremely challenging for even veteran fasters, let alone
beginners.

does gradually adapt to going without food (or drastically
limiting food intake as in the 5:2 diet).
