Tag: Fasting errors

Studies indicate that many people, especially beginners, make common errors that undermine the benefits of their fasting regimen. Understanding **what not to do during fasting** is critical for a safe, effective, and successful experience, promoting discipline and maximizing health benefits without compromising well-being.

According to a 2024 study, nearly half of all Americans have tried some form of fasting, but many remain unsure about the precise rules. This uncertainty often leads to a common question: 'How do I know if I break my fast?'

According to a systematic review published in *The BMJ*, intermittent fasting can be effective for weight loss, but many people fail to achieve results by making a single, critical error. The most common intermittent fasting mistake involves overeating or binging on unhealthy foods during the eating window, which negates the benefits of the fasting period.
