When it comes to fasting, being properly prepared is just as important as doing the fast itself.
Just measuring the changes in your body each day can make the difference between feeling inspired or giving up. So here are a few things you need to do your fast.
To start, you’ll need scale.
A scale helps you to keep track of your weight during the fast, and most important, keeps you in the right mental frame of mind. It's also a good idea to write down your weight everyday in a small notebook.
You can find the scale anywhere online like Amazon, Walmart, or your local department store.
Another thing you'll need are electrolytes.
These will help you to not feel dizzy or too tired while you're fasting. It’s best to get electrolytes that do not have any calories or sugar. You’ll put the electrolytes in your water to drink at least one time per day.
Because fasting is the process of depleting the glucose stored as fat in your body it's a good idea to measure your blood sugar even though you are not diabetic. You can get a blood sugar meter online or in your local pharmacy.
You will measure yourself the same time each day and write down the results in the same notebook you use for logging your weight.
Finally, you’ll want some way to find out if this fasting thing is even working, or at least have the mental reassurance you aren’t totally wasting your time.
During fasting, your body will go through a stage called ketosis, and its the fat burning cycle that starts within 3 days.
Ketosis strips are a great way to keep tabs on the amount of ketones in your blood.
The easiest ketosis measurement is done with urine strips, yes, strips you pee on.
With the combination of these 3 products, you’ll be on your way to having a successful fast.
