The Complete Fasting Guide for beginners

I didn't find intermittent fasting through discipline. I found it through a wedding photo I still haven't forgiven my aunt for posting in the family group chat.

My jeans staged a quiet rebellion. My kurta staged a louder one. And somewhere around hour twelve of my very first fast, I genuinely believed my stomach was plotting against me. This book is the story of how I got from there to twenty pounds lighter - told the way it actually happened, mistakes and all, instead of the polished version you usually get in diet books.

This isn't a clinical manual written by someone who's never skipped a meal in anger. It's a beginner's guide to intermittent fasting built entirely around real, occasionally humiliating experience - the hunger waves, the family interventions, the six-samosa mistake that undid an entire fast in four minutes flat.

Inside, you'll learn:

• What fasting actually does in your body (and why it won't eat your muscles)
• Every major fasting style explained in plain English, from 12:12 to OMAD
• A step-by-step, hour-by-hour plan for your very first fast
• How to break a fast without undoing all your progress
• Every rookie mistake I made, so you can skip past them
• How to handle hunger, cravings, and relatives who won't take "I'm not hungry" for an answer
• Where exercise fits in - and where it doesn't, yet
• A troubleshooting guide for headaches, plateaus, and hangry afternoons
• How to make this a lifestyle instead of a punishment

If you want a fasting guide that respects your time, your sense of humor, and your relationship with your own refrigerator, this one's for you.
