The 30-Day Intermittent Fasting Sprint
A fasting sprint can push your body to the next level of health and wellness. For this sprint, you get to pick the strategies.
(Note: if you are brand new to fasting, start with The Three Week Challenge and check out the beginner’s section of my fasting course.)
There are some people who hear about fasting, begin right away, and then quickly hit their stride. They lose weight, regain their health, and reach all their goals while hitting few bumps in the roads.
But the majority of people have some success initially and then find themselves in a plateau needing to tweak a few things. Perhaps you started out strong, motivated, and consistent. But then life happened. One day you woke and realized you’d let this fasting thing slip.
But now you’re ready for a reboot. If that describes you, keep reading.
We must be constantly reminded that fasting is only step number one in a cascade of lifestyle changes that propel us forward to better health. Once we’ve put in the hard work of fasting each day, we are then in a position to do something else positive for our health such as make better eating choices or get more sleep rather than sabotage all our hard work.
But we need constant reminders of the supporting habits that should accompany fasting for maximum benefit. That’s where the 30-day sprint comes in.
In exercise, the purpose of a sprint is to give your body a temporary challenge that increases your overall fitness much more than steady-state exercise could.
We can use a similar trick to give our bodies a 30-day metabolic challenge. But with a fasting sprint, the idea is to continue for life doing some of the habits you picked up during the sprint.
Choose Your Own Sprint: Pick 3 Options
Here’s how it works. Below I listed out a number of habits that can multiply your fasting efforts but which many people miss. Pick three to commit to doing for the next 30 days.
Some of these may not appeal to you. That’s okay. Some people will never, ever consider giving up coffee, and that’s fine because it’s possible to have tremendous fasting success with coffee. However, others find they feel much better without it. That’s why I’m letting YOU create your own sprint.
Some of these options you may already be doing. But there are likely a few that you are missing.
Pick at least 3 from the first list. For those who want to supercharge your sprint, also choose one option from the advanced list.
