If you're new to fasting and want to lose fat and feel healthier, a good way to start is by picking a set time to eat each day. For example, you could eat between 12pm and 8pm and fast the rest of the time. During the fasting hours, just drink water, black coffee, or tea with no sugar. It might feel tough at first, but your body gets used to it pretty quickly.
When you do eat, try to keep your meals simple and healthy. Focus on eating enough protein, some veggies, and avoid snacks or sugary foods. You don’t need to be perfect, just make better choices.
Also, staying active will help a lot. Even just walking every day can make a difference. Since you’re 228 lbs, dropping 10 or 15 lbs is very doable if you stay consistent. Fasting can help, but what you eat still matters. Keep it simple, and you’ll see progress.
