What Is The Best Way To Begin A Fast For The First Time? And How Long Should It Last To Be Safe?

The only real condition I have is being obese and the thing that go along with that knee and lower back pain. No high blood pressure no high cholesterol, no cardiac issues. I’ve been a smoker for the past twelve years. I smoke a half of pack a day.

Depends on the reason for the fast. I started out just a few hours drinking just water and juice. I am up to fasting from 6 when I walked up to 2 or 3 at the latest.
Sometimes I fast not from food but from certain items like unleavened which is basically no breads. Just meat and vegetables n fruit . No pop too That fast I can go a month
