I also use the tricks mentioned above. They are very useful.
Additional tricks:
- Use fiber supplements in your water sometime in the middle of your fast (simplest time is in the morning in lieu of breakfast). I use psyllium husk.
- Soup (or rather broth) is a fasting bff. Remember miso, herbs, spices, salt, do not have calories. Flavor your water liberally. Change up the consistency with stuff in it (green onions, seaweed). Change up the temperature (hot, cold, whatever). I even add psyllium husk to my soups to change up the texture and consistency just for the variety. Remember you can “eat” a lot of tasty stuff while still technically fasting.
- Actively (rather than passively) deplete your glycogen stores. Do a workout ideally including cardio, then do your best to immediately fall asleep to recover. I can sleep through anything, if you can too you’ll be in keto by the morning and no real feelings of difficulty.
- Remember to take a multi-vitamin daily while fasting. Make sure it doesn’t have sugar like those “vitamin C hangover powders” or “electrolyte water stuff like Gatorade”.
