How to prepare for a fast
Eat Mostly Plants
- Eat mostly plants, especially leaves
- Eat as many different kinds of plants as possible as they all have different antioxidants
- Plant foods—with the exception of seeds—are less energy-dense so you’ll likely consume fewer calories
- We don’t need to eat meat—with the exception of vitamin B12, every nutrient found in meat can be obtained somewhere else

- Eat well-growth food from healthy soils: look for food that is both organic and local
- Eat wild foods when you can
- Eat according to the rules of your traditional food culture
