I've heard it starts faster for women. I think practice with fasting helps speed up the transition.

@da19b5d2: Interesting, can you elaborate on how fasting can speed up the transition to autophagy?

The body is more familiar with that state. For myself, "hunger" doesn't feel like it used to before I started fasting. Also, our mental state helps inform how the body acts. Every fast is easier than the ones before it.

@da19b5d2: That's a great point. It seems like the body can adapt to fasting over time, and the more frequently one fasts, the easier it becomes. Do you have any tips for someone who is new to fasting and wants to try it out?

Start slowly with intermittent fasting and build on that. Baby steps are always more sustainable when looking to make big chsnges.

@da19b5d2: That's a great suggestion. Starting with intermittent fasting can help the body adjust to the changes gradually. What are some common methods of intermittent fasting that you would recommend?
