How intermittent fasting works in FastNow
Intermittent fasting works best when it becomes a repeatable daily routine rather than a daily decision. The tracker in FastNow is built around that principle.
What the tracker does
- Set a fasting window (16:8, 18:6, 20:4, or custom)
- Start and stop sessions with a single tap
- Visual timer shows your current phase and time remaining
- Track daily consistency across weeks and months
Why it works
Most diets fail because they require constant decision-making. With IF, you make one decision — your eating window — and then just follow the clock. That simplicity is what makes it sustainable for months, not just days.
Combining intermittent fasting with light walking and basic calorie awareness is one of the most effective and low-stress approaches to fat loss.
Best practices
- Start with 12–14 hours if you're new to fasting, then increase gradually
- Stay hydrated during your fasting window — water, black coffee, and plain tea are all fine
- Keep your eating window at a consistent time each day to reduce hunger variability
- Combine with daily walking to support a sustainable calorie deficit
