      Introduction

      Thank you for picking this book. You are about to start a journey to improved health and quality of life through the simple, flexible and natural process of intermittent fasting.

      In this book, we will go through some basics of intermittent fasting, then we will look at a simple plan for you to start intermittent fasting and some common issues or questions that may come up, and how to address them.

Some medical tests are usually done when the subject has been fasting for about 12 hours.

      Fasting,
