I want to try fasting, how do I do it?
I'm writing a book in which the main character is extremely hungry, and since I'm overweight and have never had to go hungry, like most people in the West, I'd like to fast completely for a week to experience what that feels like. I've heard that actors can often get into character better this way by putting themselves in similar situations!
Cool idea!
You should definitely know that there are many types of fasting.
Above all, these two are known and popular:
• Healing fasting (water, broth, tea only)
• Interval fasting (in a specific period) -> very different intervals possible
Can recommend a fasting of 12h per day for a starving person. Eat and drink before the start and eat and drink after the end!
Isn’t that hard for experienced, but for you it can be pretty hard because you’re not yet experienced. Headaches are normal. Maybe you’ll find it great too!

There is not much to say. If you don’t do a week, you can get dangerous. Try for a day, at most two. And be sure to drink enough. Count the liters best. Have fun!
