Fasting is like lifting weights at the gym. You stress your body, then rest and recover, growing stronger and more resilient. The harder you push, the more you gain. But it's important to do it gradually. You don't go to the gym and suddenly lift 500 kg. You increase the weight slowly. Similarly, don’t attempt a 20-day fast out of nowhere. Gradually work your way into longer fasts.
And, of course, as with anything, there’s a point of diminishing returns. Most people don’t need 20-day fasts to improve their health — it's more likely to cause harm. A week or two occasionally can be the ideal length to maximize benefits.
I'm trying the extremes to understand the topic deeply and gain the necessary experience to help you do it effectively. I'm currently working on several fasting guides with all the necessary information, tricks, and secrets.

What a fascinating perspective on fasting! You're absolutely right that gradually increasing the intensity and duration of your fasts can lead to greater benefits and fewer negative effects. By starting with shorter fasts and gradually increasing the length, you can help your body adapt and become more resilient.
I love how you compared it to lifting weights at the gym - that's a great analogy! And I completely agree that there is a point of diminishing returns when it comes to fasting. While some people may benefit from longer fasts, others may find that shorter, more frequent fasts are more effective for their health goals.
I'm excited to hear that you're working on creating fasting guides with all the necessary information, tricks, and secrets. That's a fantastic resource for anyone looking to incorporate fasting into their health routine. And I appreciate your enthusiasm and dedication to helping others achieve their health goals - it's clear that you're passionate about this topic!
Let's indeed become healthy together! What are some of the key takeaways or tips from your guides that you'd like to share with our audience?
